Historical yet disappointing
The hotel as a whole was pretty run down. It has an authentic historic feel and with additional investment it has the potential to be a remarkable destination and stay while in Santa Barbara.

This is very nice and unique property located within a short distance to a part of the downtown area with plenty of restaurants, movie theater, etc. The property is very well kept, inside and outside, and we looked the large garden space to relax in.

6/10 Good

The property is a set of Victorian-looking buildings and bungalows, connected by outdoor pathways. While the place seemed like it could offer an interesting boutique-hotel experience. we found it really underwhelmed relative to the price point. The property is minimally modernized -- like the device-charging options are minimal, lighting in the rooms is dim, and the AC did not succeed in cooling the room. "Complimentary parking" is listed as an amenity, but the hotel has 25 parking spots and 50 guest rooms, so 1/2 of guests have to park elsewhere. Between having to park offsite, and the fact that you have to go up and down stairs to get between the buildings and up to your room, trudging luggage around is a slog. Some of the hotel staff were very nice and very helpful, but others acted like guests' requests and questions were burdensome. Altogether staying here was not a good experience! Other places we've stayed in Santa Barbara were happy to have us and much better equipped.

We enjoyed our time at the Upham. The room was great, quiet and tranquil. The gardens were lovely. Enjoyed the daily wine reception. Could have offered a light continental breakfast bar which would add to the experience. Dinner recommendations were excellent and we totally enjoyed our stay. Would strongly recommend.

Great location to all of downtown Santa Barbara and interesting how long the property was around. Great parking, but limited. Not so great things: no control on AC and VERY cold, loud before 9am, no staff at the front desk at night even though was told they would be there all night, first day staff a bit snippy, but the second day new staff was better.
