Courtyard by Marriott Santa Barbara Downtown

The Saint Remy poolside bar is a nice touch.

It is a very practical hotel with everything you need including free laundry (but you need to ask them how to do it for free). The room is practical and clean. Recently renovated so pretty much everything is new. Nothing fancy here. But nice place that is close to State Street where you can go to many nice restaurants. It used to be a motel but the renovation is full so it is quite comfortable. (if you have stayed at other Courtyard by Marriott this is similar.) Basic, comfortable and practical...great if you don't plan to spend a lot of time in your room.

Charged for parking and was not told in the beginning of my stay

Clean and well located property. Comfortable beds, clean room, gym, common areas. Decent service, although housekeeping knocking on door Sunday at 8am, should be addressed.

The hot tub was not warm which was disappointing--the hot tub was one reason we chose this hotel. The staff were awesome and the hotel is nice.

Amazing retro hotel in the heart of downtown SB. Loved it. Staff was great. Bar was open late near the pool and all my guest and family had an amazing time during son’s graduation!

The only thing they didn't bother to tell me about at check-in was the $30.00 per day self parking fee. a little annoying.

Enjoyed our stay the only thing is that most hotels have lotion and soap they offer the shampoo and conditioner was in the shower which I did like and we were actually close to everything around us restaurants shopping downtown, over all we really enjoyed our stay

While the property felt a little retro motel-like, it was clean and comfortable. The pool area was great and the service was good. It is on a busy street, so there was some auto noise transference as the room doors are in exterior hallways.

Walkable to State Street restaurants and shops. Close to freeway. Very nice staff. Good sized pool area with loungers and couches. Nice gym. Parking garages are a little tight but otherwise this is a very practical and efficient place to stay!

The rooms were clean and comfortable and felt spacious. The staff was very helpful and friendly!

Very convenient location, property is well maintained and clean. Great stay! The staff were very friendly and helpful (except the man who checked us out).

Beautiful unique hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Missed my connection due to weather and they made sure my reservation was good to go the following morning. Room very clean and comfortable.

Our tiny room was well appointed. The HVAC is vintage 1980 and very noisy. No daily service so no refills on in room coffee or paper cups. Paid $350 per night including $30 per night for self parking. Will not return.

Close to downtown Santa Barbara. Easy walk to shops and restaurants. Clean rooms and modern amenities. Would stay there again.

Clean rooms, friendly helpful staff

Worst stay every. Lie about the hotel, only half of it is nice the other half is worse than a motel 6. Not only lied to but room disgusting! Also, talk about noise, so loud the police showed up!

Clean, convenient close to shopping and restaurants!

Great property, great location. Super clean, everything updated and new. Will be staying here again.

The rooms were spacious and clean. We really appreciated them accommodating our large group on the 3rd floor terrace!

This would have been an okay place to come back to. The rooms were fine. A little on the smaller size. However I think that is the norm in this area since many “hotels” were previously transformed from motels. It was fine for my husband and I. The reason I’m giving this establishment 3 stars is because the walls are extremely thin. You can hear people at all hours of the night. The people next door to us were loud, playing their music, and obviously drinking till almost 4am. So, just beware if you’re staying here, that the walls are super thin, you can hear everything!!! Not the best place if you’re looking to get some peace and quiet.

The staff was friendly. Our room looked directly on to a white wall. A wall was our view. I felt like it was an expensive room to have a white wall view. We asked to change rooms but they couldn’t accommodate. I asked if they could cover the $30/night parking which they did. (We were unaware that parking was $30 night- that being said, there was parking available in the street). The room came with only one regular coffee pod and one decaf. No liquid creamer, just a dry non-dairy packet. Pool was warm and fire pit was nice!

I can’t wait to go back and stay longer. Beautiful space and great restaurant. Only down side was our room faced State street and traffic was loud at night. I’d request an inner facing room next time.

Great location, nice facility and friendly staff. We had a one night stay in between our son's high school tournament games. It's in downtown, with many restaurants and shops close by, and one of the hosting sites, Santa Barbara high school, is just a few minutes away. The room was spacious and beautiful, with a great view of mountains.

Very surprised by the quality of this Courtyard. Courtyards are usually your basic, run-of-the-mill hotels (ie Holiday Express) but this one raises the bar extremely high. The rooms themselves are beautiful and extremely spacious with a an awesome bathroom. Seriously, I could do a cartwheel in this room and not touch anything, that's how much space there is. Wifi runs like a breeze. Pool area is also great with great service. Great location puts you right in the heart of downtown where there is plenty to do. Easily had my pick of the litter with food choices in walking range and there are even movie theaters in walking range as well. Great hotel overall.

No complains with my stay. large room. remodeled and fairly new and outdoor pool.

Right on State Street about halfway up. Seems like an old midcentury modern that they have rebooted. Cute style, friendly staff. Bar/restaurant by the pool. Only problem was the AC was very loud and went on and off like every 4 minutes all night. LOUD then SILENT, repeat.

Conveniently located near restaurants and shopping. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bathroom design was terrible - had to walk into cold spray in shower before adjusting temperature, and hard to reach toilet paper.

Great location and very friendly and helpful staff.

Michele and Aaron were wonderful at the front desk. We did have a problem getting our wake up call and our telephone was broken in this regard. Other than that all was great . (We were in Room 143.

The rooms were clean and comfortable and felt spacious. The staff was very helpful and friendly!

The man working for front desk at 4:30pm yesterday was the friendliest hotel staff I have ever had. I’m 39 years old and have traveled all over the country and much of Europe and even South Africa. This man was the coolest, friendliest and most helpful hotel employee I’ve ever encountered.

I travel every other week for work and stay at Courtyards. This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had at any hotel let alone a courtyard by Marriott. I was traveling all day and checked in and just wanted to take a shower, the shower wouldn’t get hot, I called the front desk and they sent a maintenance man and he said it was all fixed and I took his word for it. I went to my dinner meeting and came back ready to shower and sleep. The shower was not fixed at all and the shower itself was disgusting. I took a cold shower and went to bed just to be ripped out of my sleep by the loudest fire alarm I’ve ever heard that kept going off periodically throughout the night/early morning. I missed my first meeting this morning because I over slept, I had to call the front desk for a later check out and Victor (I think was his name) sounded pretty annoyed with me for the request. For someone who stays at Courtyards numerous times a month and whose family is a Bonvoy Platinum member, I was treated horribly. I am going to give Hilton’s a try for myself as well as my whole company from now on. Should also mention there was no coffee in the morning on top of the sleepless night. I was room 166 so maybe they should tell the maintenance guy to go do his job and not lie to the paying customer. Note I was also told twice that a manager would reach out to me to handle a reimbursement but that never happened. Do not stay here.

Enjoyed this property in downtown Santa Barbara. The staff was excellent, they went out of the way to be helpful!! We loved all the communal spaces as we were a large family group in town for a graduation.

Clean rooms, friendly helpful staff

The location and peach and quiet of area. Eric at check in was excellent, very professional .

Great location and lovely setting in the heart of Santa Barbara. Rooms were comfortable and staff was excellent.

The front staff was excellent---especially Aaron and the woman of Aztec ancestry (Michelle).

Nice brand new hotel! Very clean and super easy to walk downtown via state street.

Great location and very friendly and helpful staff.

Quiet location. Walkable to fun places in SB.

Excellent location! Walked everywhere throughout our stay. The property really is beautiful. Loved the Palm Springs vibe. Staff was very personable and attentive.

Great location, nice facility and friendly staff. We had a one night stay in between our son's high school tournament games.

Hotel is a 1.8 mile straight shot down State Street to the waterfront, where we spent most of our time. It wasn’t convenient to go back to the hotel between activities so proximity might be a concern for guests for whom a lot of walking is a consideration. Overall, good, comfortable accommodation with no surprises

Rooms were clean and staff was very accommodating throughout our stay. Hotel is just a short walk away from restaurants and shops.

Great location and lovely setting in the heart of Santa Barbara. Rooms were comfortable and staff was excellent.

Nice, clean. Close to downrown, shops, restaurants

close to downtown

The Saint Remy poolside bar is a nice touch.

Small room but the pool is nice. The on-site restaurant serves excellent dishes for the price. The bartenders were friendly.

Incredible staff and wonderful food. Perfect location!

The staff was very helpful and nice. The bar was super convenient. The walkable distance to all the restaurants on State street was very fun and enjoyable.

Had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, and well appointed. I really love the bathrooms, which were SUPER nice, though the shower could have been slightly bigger. Coffee in the lobby wasn't the greatest - it's a "Starbucks machine" and one cup was $4...I should have just ran to an actual Starbucks to grab a cup. Other than that LITTLE thing, this place was awesome, and I will definitely be back!

Amazing retro hotel in the heart of downtown SB. Loved it. Staff was great. Bar was open late near the pool and all my guest and family had an amazing time during son’s graduation!

Room is too small to put the luggage rack ...Elevator is not working..no on site restaurant .. Very inconvenient ..

Nicely updated; nice staff when our room wasn't ready (comped a drink).

Love the comfort, decor, bar/food, pool, location and customer service. Will stay here again!!
