The Upham Hotel
Firstly we were greeted with a warm welcome by Anna who was working the front desk. She was friendly and very helpful in upgrading our room as booking on line with Expedia didn't get me the cottage I thought I was booking. Now I know it's better to book with them directly as this was our 1st time ...

Drift Santa Barbara, a Member of Design Hotels
Lovely little hotel, friendly staff. Very modern and clean. Positioned directly on the main road near lots of shops and nightlife so you don’t have to travel far for entertainment. I would stay here again for sure and would recommend.

Kimpton Canary Hotel by IHG
The room was nice and clean. They need soft close toilets … makes for a lot of loud bangs when your used to the others. If you book through Expedia you don’t get IHG points evidently. Something you should be more upfront about or negotiate the points into your deal with them.
