I stayed at the Hotel Indigo several weeks ago with one of my best friends from high school for a girls weekend. On our way up from LA we stopped at one of our favorite stores in Summerland, Botanik. To be honest that store was the best part of our entire trip aside from the helpful staff at the hotel... More

I spent three nights at Hotel Indigo and found it clean, compact yet comfortable, and visually pleasing, both in the room and in the common areas. I anticipated some transportation noise from the nearby rail line but the walls are well insulated and the windows are low E argon filled glass with insulated surrounds so any vibration or horn sounds...

Lovely & modern, boutique hotel at south end of town. Close to the beach & pier. Construction project currently underway by the town directly in front, & Amtrak trains create noise but not often. Rooms are small, but with high end décor & fixtures. Shower is open to entire bathroom, so floor is wet afterwards for anyone else using. Moderate... More

Great location within walking distance to restaurants, beach and wineries. Very clean even if the room was small. Room had everything you would need though. Aveda products in the bathroom was a nice surprise. Cool private patio and public sun decks had a relaxed feel. It was the weekend and people were in SB for Mother's Day weekend so it... More

We stayed for a night in March 2013 as we were driving along the west coast down to LA. The hotel is beautiful with artworks scattered around the premise. It doesn't have an elevator, so only recommend for short weekend trips when you have small luggage. The hotel is situated right beside a train track, so forget sleeping in. They... More

As far as Santa Barbara Hotels go, this one is not too bad. Reasnably priced for Santa Barbara, but not really a business hotel if you are lucky enough to be in SBA on business. The location is pretty good at the bottom of state street, just on the beach side of Highway 101. Walking distance to the beach as... More

This hotel is a great value! Its located near the beach, at the south end of State Street, and you can walk to everything. The furnishings are very cool, a sort of "comfortable modern" vibe, and the staff is extremely friendly. Our room was a Compact King with a nice patio with two armchairs and small tables. I loved the... More

Looking for an inexpensive hotel in Santa Barabara? The Hotel Indigo was my best option, and it was a very nice surprise. The room was very, very small and would have been crowded with even two people, but was fine for just one. It was smaller than I've experienced in Japan or Europe, but similar. There was an outdoor private... More

I didn't read the review until I was there having problems and feeling totally uncomfortable. Rooms are small and the bathroom was a pain to use. To Take a Shower you have to close a glass door near where the toilet is. Using the toilet was another issue, toilet paper was under the sink on the left hand side, and... More

I had read the reviews and wasn't sure what to expect. The location was great - very close to the water and a short walk to the central commercial district. The staff was young and very helpful. We stayed one night, which was fine, but don't know if we would have wanted to stay longer. As the other reviews have... More
