This property appears newly renovated, and has a European flair. It is very small, and the rooms are small too, but well put together, and maximizes space. You are centrally located to everything, and two blocks from Stearns Wharf/beach

Great staff and easy check in/check out process. A bit of construction going on so can be a little more noisy after 9a but didn’t phase me since that’s normal business hours. Wonderful stay and the front area is cozy + this hotel is close to so much!

Right in the centre of Santa Barbara the location is amazing. The room was quite small and when we arrived valet parking was full so we had to pay $55 dollars in public parking across the street. Otherwise a great place

A really lovely boutique hotel with modern rooms and a light airy feel to the hotel. We travelled by Amtrak so it was super convenient. We had a problem with our room the first night but it was sorted really quickly and the staff were genuinely keen to ensure we were happy. On the Friday night guests were invited to meet in the lounge area for wine and nibbles and to mingle with other guests. It was really nice and we chatted to some fellow travellers! The rooms are very small but comfortable and well equipped.

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.

You pay for the location of this property - a block from the beach and easy walking to restaurants and coffee shops. Make note there is no elevator so you have to lug your suitcase and bags up 2 flights of stairs. Rooms are tiny like NYC tiny and walls are paper thin. I was up for 3 hours having to listen to the people next door.

This is centrally located in downtown and there are many delicious places to eat nearby. We enjoyed the beach just half a mile away and we also walked up State Street with many wonderful vendors.

Exceptional staff! Friendly and helpful! Loved all of then! Free use of bikes. That was nice. Convenient location to many things. Coffee, shops, restaurants, shopping beach. They pump in some type of scent and it’s really bad for you and it does not smell good. Very off putting. The hallways echo wasn’t that quiet. My room was dark some of the rooms have a door that goes out on a little porch, but mine didn’t. I asked to switch, but it didn’t happen.

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!
