Upscale boutique hotel in the heart of Santa Barbara. It’s a great place to stay but avoid the rooms facing State Street. The room was very nice and clean but noisy and bright. However when I asked to be moved they were more than accommodating.

The Riviera House was a welcoming location. It was small, quaint, and intimate! The hotel was clean and well attended. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. However, the noise level during their early morning renovations was extremely loud! Other than that we enjoyed staying at the Riviera House!

A nice, clean hotel with a charming beachy vibe. The room was small but very practical, featuring a desk, chair, coffee station, and a comfortable king bed. The bathroom was clean and well-designed. What stood out the most was the incredibly friendly staff—including the valet—and the hotel’s dog-friendly atmosphere. My dog had a fantastic stay too!

The hotel itself is adorable. The rooms are minuscule. The biggest issues is that between music and trains it doesn’t get quiet till around 11 and starts again around 6, and this was a random Tues/wed night. If that doesn't bother you. Staff was great and there are lots of nice areas outside of rooms.

The location is 10/10. Very clean, staff was great. We brought our dog and they gave him a goody bag. The reason I selected 4 stars is because the rooms/bathroom are extremely small. Not that big of a deal because we weren’t in the room a lot but it would’ve been nice to have more space to stretch out. The lobby is cozy so we hung out there sometimes they had snacks and drinks. Tons of restaurants, shopping and beach access. Great stay!
