It's in an excellent location but the lower rate rooms are VERY small. Don't trust the pictures. Our room (103) only had a porthole sized window about 7 ft above the bed, so the room felt very cave/prison like. It did have everything we needed (even a small fridge even though the listing said it had none) but was very cramped and was noisy. You're on State St., at the lower end, with all the bars and restaurants you could need, so that's convenient. I paid $33 for parking, so that sucked. They are a contact-free/staff-free facility which is nice but not if you need anything. I had a much better stay across the street for cheaper, prior. Won't be back but it was safe clean and convenient.

From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the seamless and contactless check-in process, setting the tone for a truly great experience. One of the standout features of Drift hotel is its commitment to convenience and safety. The contactless check-in was effortless and efficient, allowing me to quickly settle into my room and start enjoying all that the hotel has to offer. This attention to detail and modern approach to hospitality was welcome after a long day travelling. Beyond the seamless check-in, the aesthetics of Drift hotel are simply stunning. Every corner is thoughtfully designed, with incredible textures and finishes that create a sense of luxury and comfort. From the chic lobby to the beautifully appointed rooms, every space exudes elegance and sophistication. The attention to detail in the design is truly remarkable. The use of natural materials, such as wood, glass and concrete, adds warmth and character to the interiors. It's evident that a lot of care and thought went into creating a space that is both visually stunning and inviting. The rooms at Drift hotel are a true sanctuary. The plush bedding, stylish furnishings, and modern amenities ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay. The hotel's location is also worth mentioning, as it offers easy access to Santa Barbara's attractions, restaurants, and shops. Whether you're exploring the nearby beaches or indulging in the local cuisine, Drift hotel provides a convenient home base for your adventures!

The room felt like sleeping in bomb shelter. Only a tiny window very high in the wall. It actually felt like a prison cell. The noise in the hallway was extremely loud! Also, the room reeked of pot on and off. It seemed to be coming trough the ventilation system. We will never come back. Yuk!
