This is such a wonderful wonderful place! I can't say enough good things about The Upham. All of the staff is amazing, the GM is also fantastic. My husband and I spent our wedding night (and weekend) there as did all of our wedding guests. They were so good as we came up and sat down with them and made... More

Can't find anything really negative to say about this beautiful place. Were traveling with another couple. We had adjoining rooms in a separate cottage. Each of our rooms were really clean and appealing, though rather small. However, we were in the less expensive rooms, which we thought overall were a real bargain in an expensive area like Santa Barbara. The... More

Nice and charming B&B two blocks from the State street. Our room looked like it was recently remodelled or at least had a fresh coat of paint. There is free parking on site though it overflowed on Saturday night and so we had to park on adjacent lot (in the rain unfortunately). In general this is a great hotel for... More

I had stayed at this charming hotel previously and was happy to return. This time I was booked at the Country House which is located just across the street from the Upham. Our room was small but very comfortable. A lovely and delicious breakfast is offered daily as well as afternoon wine and cheese and evening cookies! YUM! We loved... More

My daughter and I spent a Mother/Daughter weekend here and it was lovely. We stayed in the Hibiscus cottage on the second floor and the room was a good size. We had two queen-sized beds which were quite comfortable, a Queen Anne chair, a large desk and an additional chair and table. Lots of shutter covered windows that we could... More

I was delighted by the Upham Hotel. It was easy to get to from the freeway, with free parking onsite. It was all level access for getting my luggage to and from my room to my car, which is always a consideration, especially travelling alone. The room, #40 in Iris cottage, had a gated access with its own patio complete... More

Overall the properties (main and country house) are pleasant and picturesque, as you would expect in the spring while in Santa Barbara. This is an historic hotel, as I understand it, the oldest continuously operating hotel in California. The main building is the oldest property (I think originally constructed in 1871), and you do see the impact of limited space... More

The hubby & I came here for a long overdue "just us" getaway. This was my first time visiting Santa Barbara so naturally, I was very excited. I found this place thanks to Trip Advisor's rating system. I believe Upham is #3, which makes me want to stay at 1 & 2 even more! Anyhow, we booked the midweek special... More

I suppose my review might be a bit biased because our room didn't cost us anything. We won a room from a Christmas party and decided to use it as we were going whale watching the next day and thought it would work out perfect. With that aside, the property was beautiful! Amazingly parking wasn't too bad, even for being... More
