Top Bel Air Hotel Reviews

Riviera Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"The location is superb, walking distance to beach and State Street with eateries and shopping available. Hotel is lovely and newly renovated. The rooms are small but there are nice places to gather within the hotel - the lobby area, patios, and nooks. The staff is super friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the wine tasting offered on Fridays and Saturdays. Unfortunately, our room was next to the garbage collection area of the next door pizza place and we heard the truck pickup at 4 am Saturday. So maybe check which room you get?"

Hyatt Place Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was nice. It seemed to be the same thing both mornings. I would like to see some variation from day to day. Parking was fine. However since I have a large pickup truck it was VERY tight getting though the gates and not easy to park. The section in front is very small. No obvious place to park to check in as you are blocking traffic. Nothing you can do about the parking, just feedback."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Room was small but efficient, great interior furnishings. There was a fridge (mini bar not free), but free coffee and tea (good quality stuff too), kettle for boiling water. Plenty of cups. Nice large bathroom. Big open lobby with a little coffee/drink bar. My room faced courtyard so no street noise. Dogs and children were allowed, so very family oriented. It's in the middle of everything, so a 15 minute walk to the top of State, and a 15 minute walk to the harbor. Every intention of staying again. "
