Historical yet disappointing
The hotel as a whole was pretty run down. It has an authentic historic feel and with additional investment it has the potential to be a remarkable destination and stay while in Santa Barbara.

Focus of property is a courtyard lawn with seating on the lawn. Peaceful, lovely garden, hummingbirds and small bunnies.

6/10 Good

Overall the experience at the Upham was satisfactory; the staff, the lobby, the grounds and the happy hour all added to the experience. However, given the price ($500) for one night, the room was extremely small, the air conditioner was poor, the carpeting was stained, there was no television signal, the bedding/bath linens were only mediocre and the hallway carpeting was filthy. Unfortunately, with all the other options in Santa Barbara, we won’t be returning to this property.

This is very nice and unique property located within a short distance to a part of the downtown area with plenty of restaurants, movie theater, etc. The property is very well kept, inside and outside, and we looked the large garden space to relax in.

6/10 Good

The property is a set of Victorian-looking buildings and bungalows, connected by outdoor pathways. While the place seemed like it could offer an interesting boutique-hotel experience. we found it really underwhelmed relative to the price point. The property is minimally modernized -- like the device-charging options are minimal, lighting in the rooms is dim, and the AC did not succeed in cooling the room. "Complimentary parking" is listed as an amenity, but the hotel has 25 parking spots and 50 guest rooms, so 1/2 of guests have to park elsewhere. Between having to park offsite, and the fact that you have to go up and down stairs to get between the buildings and up to your room, trudging luggage around is a slog. Some of the hotel staff were very nice and very helpful, but others acted like guests' requests and questions were burdensome. Altogether staying here was not a good experience! Other places we've stayed in Santa Barbara were happy to have us and much better equipped.
