Spent a lot of time researching for a place to stay for a weekend getaway. Got a "cottage" room assuming it would look like the one on their website (nice couch in front of fireplace, etc.). Got a room that was pretty much like any other hotel room with the exception of the fireplace and it still cost $340 a... more

It was Valentines and we were looking forward to staying in SB - a four hour drive for us. We were booked in the B & B, it was absolutely nothing like the pictures! It was old & needed repair - the room was awful We went back to the Office at the main Upham and told them what we... more

We stayed at the Upham for two days, in a nice cottage with two bdrs. kitchen, living room, outdoor jacuzzi, and a cozy fireplace. conveniently located one block from State Avenue, clean and cozy. My wife and I enjoyed our walks through Santa Barbara and the comfort of our Upham cottage. The breakfast was right on the spot, clean and... more

My wife and I went for Valentine's weekend. This is the oldest running hotel in CA! It's called a B&B but you do not share a bathroom. We had our own private cottage with fireplace. Very romantic. Every afternnon in the lobby, they serve wine & cheese. At night they have cookies & milk. This is the best location in... more

I recently stayed at the Upham. The location is great - walking distance to state street and located in a residental area with a nice porch and chairs to read or eat breakfast on. There are nice touches such as a little bud vase with fresh flowers in the rooms and robes in the closets. That being said there were... more

From the minute that we got to the Upham, we knew that we had made the right choice (we had looked at every hotel in Santa Barbara & none of them seemed good). The hotel front-desk was very courteous & we got to our room in no time. The room was just like we had wanted with the fireplace &... more

a very nice hotel (or large B&B). staff was excellent (especially the evening fellow who was pleasent and accomodating). Room was quite nice. Only complaint was parking was difficult because so many locals were attending a meeting there (and parked at the hotel). Very close to the main drag in town (State Street) and an easy walk to many interesting... more

This hotel is rather a Bed&Breakfast, although they apply hotel rates ... The major advantage is its location in the center of Santa Barbara, just around the corner of State Street. The services are limited : the restaurant is not part of the hotel and hotel guests have difficulties reserving a table...; the breakfast is very limited; my room was... more

I stayed at the Upham Hotel for a business retreat. It is a lovely property - a cross between a hotel and a B&B. The location is great - very close walking distance to all the stores. The rooms are all different and mine was very victorian. I was in the main part of the house. The food is great!... more
