Reviews for Kimpton Canary Hotel

Noisy room

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

Slow service, no response even after notifying them at least three times about the noisy background noise from the HVAC which kept us up at night for all three nights. The only solution was wear ear plugs which did not help.

Marvelous Hotel experience in Santa Barbara!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Hotel was a treat in beautiful Santa Barbara where every day is remarkable! Valet parking is worth it! Hotel staff treated us very well! Enjoyed the daily wine tasting event between 5-6 pm. Front desk answered all our many questions. Room was incredible with four poster bed. Robes and slippers were provided. Bathroom had both shower and tub with provided bath salts. Hotel was close to many nearby attractions. Great views and swimming pool on upper deck. Enjoyed the hotel restaurant. Will return again to this magnificent hotel.

We LOVED our stay except for 2 items

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

Absolutely love Kimpton properties. My friend and I stayed 4 nights, 5 days. Check-in was easy, very friendly staff (Kimberly was GREAT). The valet was fast and efficient. We were upgraded to a suite which was wonderful. The room location was very quite, no noise issues. Plenty of room in the living room, bathroom and bedroom, a lot of charm. The rooms seem very clean and well equipped with a mini refrigerator Nespresso machine and robes. The only item missing oddly in the rooms are hotel luggage racks. We went up to the roof to see the pool, looked nice, it was empty due to the cooler weather temps in Santa Barbara during our stay. We did enjoy the "Wine Happy Hour" and the complementary Coffee station in the morning. There are ice machines on every floor and on the ice machine you can also get filter water for your water bottles. To note: it is a dog loving paradise at the hotel, dogs everywhere, big dogs little dogs, I love dogs so I had fun watching all of them. OK, so our only 2 criticisms are is the fee for parking per day $55... crazy! The second criticism is why can't the hotel spare space for a small gym? The hotel is affiliated with a Free 24 hour gym, "Key 2 Gym" which worked out great, BUT it's a 16 minute walk... a 1.07miles. Might not seem much, but I work out daily at 5:00AM to get it out of the way. Walking on State Street at 4:45 AM in the dark, when the only people on the street are the aggressive homeless does not make me feel safe at all. Other than those 2 items, we loved our stay!

Well located in Santa Barbara

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

Nice hotel, comfortable room, convenient valet parking with helpful staff. Very grateful to Kimberly at front desk who was super nice and gave us excellent recommendations. Walkable area, near State St restaurants. Santa Barbara is wonderful, would love to go back. Only reason why did not give a full 5 is because it was rather expensive for a nice, but not luxury hotel. Still, great stay over a long weekend in a beautiful town.
