We have stayed at the Country House and the Upham Hotel several times a year for the last 20+ years. We have stayed at other fine hotels in Santa Barbara when we could not book rooms at the Upham. The history, uniqueness, comfort, caring staff and overall value make the Upham and Country House our choice hands down. Jan (the... More

The Upham became my temporary home for three consecutive four nite stays over the course of the past 8 months. (Oct 2012 - June 2013) I loved my room in the Carriage House which had wonderful sun exposure and was cheerfully decorated in bright yellow with green accents. The hospitality and attentiveness of the staff were excellent, and food was... More

My wife and I spent our anniversary here, in the Rose cottage. Lovely property and great staff. We felt as if we had the estate to ourselves, which was a plus as we were looking for privacy and time to ourselves. Very romantic. Nice amenities, like wine and cheese and cookies in the evening, show that the Upham goes the... More

This is one of our favorite spots when we're in the Santa Barbara area. Just love its proximity to State Street and all the wonderful dining options, and we enjoy the grounds that offer some decent serenity from our hectic lives. They have an ample buffet breakfast available, and wine and cheese is served in the late afternoon. The parking... More

We absolutely loved The Upham. We had a very long flight from Florida and then had to drive to Santa Barbara. When we arrived, the incredibly kind gentleman at the front desk (so sorry I don't remember his name.. nice man from Argentina) recognized our exhaustion and offered us an upgraded room without charge, since it was available. Our room... More

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
