Reviews for Kimpton Canary Hotel

Penny pinching ….

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

The decor is nice, really sweet lobby as you enter. The valet parking was really efficient. Our room was nice, everything worked. We had a room described as - with outdoor living space, ie a balcony but what we didn’t know is that it looks out to a petrol station, busy crossroads and empty bit of waste land… so we didn’t use it. The walls are pretty thin so you can hear your hotel neighbours talking… Breakfast was alright, nothing beyond that and we felt really sorry on our 2nd morning as a server was on his own, trying to escort people to tables, take and bring orders… There were no robes or coffee in the room but if you ask they’ll bring them to you. They didn’t replenish the coffee the next day and also took the cups away…… I noticed glasses in the lobby in the late morning one day which someone had left and they were still there when we came back from dinner. It felt like they were trying to do efficiency savings whilst still charging a high price… The pool area is nice and I appreciated the complimentary glass of wine.. hardly complimentary with those resort fees, but any how…. It was nice being able to walk to down town restaurants and the room itself was comfortable. It could be a really nice hotel if it wasn’t penny pinching so much!

Excellent Stay in SB

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

We had the chance to stay a the Kimpton Canary for only one night and had a terrific experience. You arrive into a private valet driveway/courtyard that is beautifully landscaped. The lobby/bar/restaurant have a nice vibe and are also beautiful. We enjoyed the complimentary wine happy hour and then had dinner at the restaurant. It wasn’t crowded on our Friday night so there was not much buzz but the food and service were very good. We stopped at the rooftop pool which had stellar views but it was too windy for us to stay. We stayed in a suite where the bedroom was separated by French doors from the living room. The bed and linens were super comfortable. It is a dog friendly hotel and we heard a few of the pups barking from hallway noise while in our room getting ready for dinner. The complimentary coffee bar in the morning didn’t have decaf that we like and they were happy to bring some up for us. I would highly recommend this property.

Every single thing about this property is amazing! From the moment we arrived we were greeted with friendly smiles and warm welcomes. Mason at valet was extremely helpful getting our parking situated. Ben at front desk made our stay exceptional! Our check in was slightly delayed and without missing a single beat, offered us drink vouchers for the inconvenience. Completely unexpected but extremely appreciated. All of the restaurant staff were very friendly and quick! Aside from the amazing staff, the property itself has so much to offer. Complimentary coffee/tea in the mornings, wine hour, access to the Golds Gym next door and conveniently close to the downtown area. 1000% would stay here again!

Fantastic boutique hotel. Room was very nice and spacious with the most comfortable bed, excellent restaurant, helpful staff and ideal location right off State Street. The rooftop pool and lounge is very cool and has amazing views. Will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Santa Barbara.

Great family stay at the Canary!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 months ago

We loved returning to the Kimpton Canary. It's conveniently located in the middle of Santa Barbara with well-appointed rooms and lobby. We loved the convenience of the morning coffee bar and the evening wine hour. Our kids loved the afternoon hot cocoa bar and hanging out on the rooftop. Great place for a family vacation and we would highly recommend it!
