I had not been to Louies Restaurant at the Upham Hotel in about 10 years but when invited to attend a business lunch I recalled a fabulous chicken in puff pastry dish I had eaten there in the past. I was surprised to see it was still on the menu and ordered it again, wondering if my memory of it... More

The Upham is a pleasant and friendly place to stay in a great location close to the heart of Santa Barbara, but far enough away to be quiet and removed from traffic. The rooms vary being an older hotel, but are pleasant and comfortable. The staff are helpful and the grounds of the hotel are a nice place to relax.... More

Very friendly hotel. Location is excellent-many fabulous restaurants and shopping within walking distance. Grounds are well kept and peaceful. It is vintage so if you are looking for a modern recently built hotel and ammenities this may not be the place for you. For all who love history and want a comfortable, relaxing and lovely stay you will enjoy the... More

Yes, vintage can be charming. But, there does come a time when some updating is in order. For those of us detail oriented, there is some definate paint touch-up needed and some of the surfaces needed some deep cleaning. The shower in our room needed re-grouting and one of the handles on the bathroom sink leaked. In addition, the late... More

I've been at a dozen places in Santa Barbara over the years, from the ultra-high end to a motel, and this is the only place that I've come back to. It has a historic main house with probably a half-dozen modern small buildings on the property, which also has a lovely garden. The rooms are a bit small, the TVs... More

The upham was quaint, cozy, and well kept. Great B&B for an overnight stay in Santa Barbara and good price. Perfect location for walking to state street for dining or shopping. Breakfast was good with friendly service.

This is a lovely hotel. The grounds are beautiful, and the lobby area (where wine & cheese is served in the afternoons and breakfast is served in the morning) is warm and inviting.The room (in the Carriage House) was no frills but comfortable. The location is great -- just a block or so off of State St. Highly recommend!

I have been using the Upham for over twenty years. In that time I have used the hotel by myself, with family, put other family members there, put employees there, vendors and many friends. I have always been pleased and never received a negative comment from any of our guests, employees etc. Many had very positive comments. In the past... More

We stayed two nights at the Country House which is just across the road from the main Upham hotel. On arrival at the country house we were greeted by Maureen (the hostess) and the smell of warm cookies and cinnamon. We had booked the penthouse and it was worth every penny. Its like an apartment rather than a suite and... More
