Hotel Californian

酒店價格不菲，但是房間不大沒有浴缸且沒有面海的景色，大部分錢都是交在這個地理位置和精緻裝修上。酒店停車也是要錢的，各項服務沒有啥免費提供的，所以七七八八算下來7、8千一晚的酒店真的沒什麼性價比可言。 當然也是有點歷史和設計感的，確實不少有錢人住，但如果想真正享受有錢人的感覺，最好得訂超過一萬一晚的房間，否則你會跟我一樣後悔錢扔水裡了。 不要説我窮酸沒見世面，我搬出去在聖巴巴拉downtown也住了，LA等其他地方都住了，沒有對比沒有傷害。衹能説不嫌錢多可以住，畢竟還是豪華酒店，不會不舒服，衹是你那點小錢買不來高貴，別跟我一樣被小紅書推銷給迷了眼就行。

Wonderful settings. Stunning room overlooking a Spanish courtyard with fountain. Everything was top quality and clean and tidy. The town was right downstairs from our room, but there were no issues with noise at all. Food and drink places were just a couple of minutes away, as is the beach. We would come back in a heartbeat.

I would NOT recommend staying at the Hotel Californian. We were just there last week and were shocked to find a live bed bug in our room in the middle of the night. The hotel staff issued a refund and laundered our clothes after we showed them the bug. But, they denied an active infestation despite my husband squishing the live bug on his arm in the middle of the night, and their third-party inspection finding many carcasses dried up in the room. This has never happened to us before, and we were truly in disbelief that such a high-end hotel had this problem and denied an active infestation. The room was also far less clean than I would have hoped - it had a musty smell upon arrival and the windows were dirty. We switched to the Ritz which was beautiful and clean. I'm posting here to help others avoid staying at this hotel and going through what we had to experience. It's also a rip-off for the quality of cleaning, service (they don't help with luggage despite our room being in a separate building and me being pregnant), and management that are not matching the price point!

Hotel Californian is so pretty, as soon as you enter the hotel, you get this modern look of black & white decor, very well decorated. We arrived a bit early from Pismo beach. Check in was at 4pm. It would have been great if we could have gotten drink vouchers on arrival, we got this at Fairmont, San Francisco, MacArthurs Place Hotel and Spa in Sonoma. The receptionist told us our room would only be ready at 4pm as it had to checked after the cleaners cleaned it. It was a beautiful room, generous size, bathroom was lovely with his and hers basin, big bath which I really enjoyed and lovely shower. Unfortunately the air conditioning did not work the 1st night, probably that needs to be checked when doing the final check. We were moved to another room which was just as lovely as the first. The swimming pool on the rooftop is very nice, my only wish was that I used it more than once. We ordered room service the one night, that was delicious as well. Big portion for Salmon, coming from New Zealand, 2 pieces of Salmon on 1 plate is very generous. They offer a shuttle service which is very convenient if you don't want to take your car into the main town. Within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, funk zone, wine bars. It was a lovely stay, thank you to the team :)

For a special occasion we stayed at Hotel Californian. Location was perfect, but hotel experience was lacking. If you're a late-night reader and partner a sleeper, there was a problem. No separate reading light. So side lights controlled by same wiring, were either on or off, on both sides of bed. The walk in shower flooded the bathroom floor. With a rain shower, you would expect to have shower caps, but no, you had to ask. Simple toiletries were not automatically supplied. Had to ask for fresh soap and lotion. If guests have to ask, it's not a 5-star lodging. Premier ocean view room was over a warehouse building with unsightly skylights. Not worth the price. Management was indifferent.

The most elegant and wonderful hotel! So amazing!!!!! Service is exceptional, the rooms are magnificent, the food is amazing, and who doesn't love Santa Barbara?! The linens are luxurious. The rooftop pool is an instant stress reliever. Even the light fixtures are exceptional!

Hotel Californian is located in an ideal spot in downtown Santa Barbara, being walkable to many restaurants, stores and wineries. The room was lovely and so comfortable, with a large bathroom. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. A little noisy one night in the bar below us, but it didn't go too late. Would definitely go back again.

Good hotel but very poor guest relations. We have coffee pods in our room but no tea bags. The hotel supplied us with a kettle but wanted to charge for individual tea bags. When I said we have coffee pods but will not be using them, as we like tea, the staff said it was company policy to charge for tea bags which most likely costs them 5 cents per bag but to charge guests in dollars. When asked I wanted to talk with the general manager I was told he wasn’t available. Very very poor guest relations.

I stayed two nights at this amazing hotel and enjoyed everything about the place. The staff from the front desk to the valet were very friendly and accommodating. The bed was comfy and the room was beautiful. I didn’t care for the food at their restaurant “goat tree” but there’s a lot of other places to eat within walking distance. They provided bicycles for their guests. The bikes were ok … 3 speed but well maintained and I rode around the city every day ! I’d love to come back and stay at this place !
