A delightful place with kind and helpful staff—an oasis of calm, and centrally located!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Riviera Beach hotel. The decor is incredibly cool and stylish, and the rooms—while on the smaller side, which is completely expected for a boutique property like this—were remarkably comfortable and well-appointed. The location couldn't be better. It was incredibly convenient to walk to numerous fantastic restaurants and take a scenic stroll over to Stearns Wharf. If you are looking for a cozy, character-filled spot in an unbeatable location, this is it!

The staff was wonderful. We had a king room with a garden patio. The room was so small that it barely fit anything but the bed. We had to edge around it just to move. The bathroom was tiny with few hooks or shelves. The bathroom door had no latch, swung open and closed and was frosted glass with an inch of space all around so there was very little privacy. There was nowhere to put our bags in the room or our toiletries in the bathroom. No closet and just a few drawers that were too hard to get to so we didn't use them. Thank goodness for the patio which we used as our sitting room. If you can get a smaller bed, it may be okay.

My husband and I enjoyed our 3 days and 2 nights stay. Our room was clean and have everything we needed, but what we like the most are the staff. They were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating on what we need. The lobby has welcoming atmosphere and the location is conveniently close to all the places we want to go. We'll definitely stay at the Riviera Beach House next time we're back to Santa Barbara! Keep up the good customer service.

The staff is amazing! From Nyah at the front desk to the manager, Nicole, everyone was super kind and authentic. The hotel is very clean and even smells good. You need to use valet for parking on premises. The rooms are small, but efficient and cozy. The small outdoor patio is a nice extension to the room. And, it only a short 5-min walk to the beach and restaurants!!!

We loved it. Lobby sofas and living spaces upstairs and downstairs. Fresh coffee crest morning, wine tastings at night. The hotel is directly across and next to such great restaurants, cafes, and bars. We’re coming back again and again.

Riviera Beach Hotel was perfect for our stay in Santa Barbara for a family wedding. It was centrally located to funk town, Restaurants, shopping district and the pier/ocean. We walked everywhere. The staff was very helpful and nice.

We took the Pacific Surfliner into Santa Barbara to catch the Coast Starlight #14 the next day. This hotel is right across the tracks from Santa Barbara Amtrak Station so it was very convenient. The staff at the hotel were exceptionally friendly!

Rose • Couple Trip

The location is superb, walking distance to beach and State Street with eateries and shopping available. Hotel is lovely and newly renovated. The rooms are small but there are nice places to gather within the hotel - the lobby area, patios, and nooks. The staff is super friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the wine tasting offered on Fridays and Saturdays. Unfortunately, our room was next to the garbage collection area of the next door pizza place and we heard the truck pickup at 4 am Saturday. So maybe check which room you get?
