We were fortunate enough to get a suite at this gem of a property , smack in the middle of downtown SB.The space had windows on three walls, it was very open. The room had a super comfy 4 poster bed with a foam topper and the best feather pillows I have ever used. A bottle of Pinot was waiting... More

I came here a couple of months ago for a weekend getaway with my boyfriend. Our choice to stay at the Canary absolutely made the weekend! The location is perfect, the staff were so friendly and attentive, and the rooms were spacious. I have since recommended this hotel to friends and they have all had the same amazing experience we...

This was our second stay at this lovely hotel and it won't be our last. The rooms are lovely with attention to detail. Customer service is foremost from the valet running to open the door for you to the wonderful front desk folks. I needed to have a package delivered to my attention at the hotel that was delayed in... More

Before making my reservation, I scanned the reviews in Tripadvisor. I noticed that a number of reviewers mentioned that the rooms were small. I also noticed that someone mentioned that the bathroom in the room she was given was not separated from the room by a solid door (yuck). I decided to avoid both of these issues by booking a... More

This was our first stay in Santa Barbara and we wanted to be in town and the Canary was a good choice. The hotel was packed and the staff just ramped up the service and the smiles while handling the check ins. I love how Kimpton makes each property appropriate for the environment and this hotel is no exception -... More

After searching high and low for a luxurious place to stay in SB, my husband and I decided on the Canary. Check in was quick and easy and the bell was friendly enough. Although we booked a King Premier room, we were given a room on the second floor facing a parking garage. When we called asking about the type... More

I chose this hotel because they are pet friendly. I made an effort to register my dogs into their pet profile program before I arrived in this hotel. When we arrived, the staff was very courteous. They wrote down my dogs: Ashton & Tobey in the board to welcome them (of course my dogs don't understand but I do ha!).... More

This was an awesome hotel. The rooms were gorgeous, the bar and restaurant were fun and happening and the location was absolutely perfect. We used the hotel bikes to ride the bike trails that ran along the ocean coast and walked to fabulous restaurants and shops. The best part of our hotel experience was the staff. Everyone was so helpful,... More
