Loved this neighborhood gem. The property ambiance was casual yet very inviting. There were small seating areas in various locations. Our group spent hours chatting in the living room-like lobby and patio areas. My husband and I stayed in one of the quaint cottages and loved it. This property is perfect for larger groups. We would stay here again in a second.

We always stay at the Upham when we go to Santa Barbara…. We always dined at Louies restaurant, which was part of the hotel… we were sad it was closed, however, dining at Bouchon near by was great too! Also the location of the Upham is walkable to EVERYTHING!!!
