Lovely Hotel in the centerof Sanata Barbara

THE CANARY IS ONE OF THE LEADING SMALL HOTELS GROUP. IT HAD ALL THE AMENITIES OF SIMILAR HOTELS IN THIS GROUP WE HAVE STAYED AT THROUGHOUT EUROPE. THE ROOMS, ALONG WITH THE LOBBY, BAR, ROOFTOP POOL WERE ELEGENT, SERVICE GRACIOUS,ALL RESULTING IN A DELIGHTFUL STAY. THE VIEW FROM THE ROOFTOP WAS A GRAND PANORAMA OF SANTA BARBARA, THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS. WE ALSO WITNESSED A WEDDING ON THE ROOFTOP DECK WHILE WE WERE AT THE ROOFTOP POOL. WE WILL RETURN TO THE CANARY AGAIN.

Any older hotel in a ...

Any older hotel in a downtown area has noise challenges, and this one has trouble not offering views of the bus station across the street, but they handle everything as well as can be managed, given the location. The access to State Street is such a huge plus, and the comfort of the room, and charm of the staff and the facility are such, that we know we'll be staying there again. The redesign of the restaurant makes the bar area far more hospitable. Its a truly attractive downtown destination.

great visit

we loved the hotel and location, we walked all over town and felt comfortable and safe. the staff were helpful. The room was a bit small but was very comfortable and well appointed, there was room for all our luggage stowed in the closet, plenty of room to hang clothes. beautiful robes provided for lounging around the room. i can't think of anything negative for this hotel.

Very Nice Staff

The Canary Hotel was very beautiful and luxurious. The staff was very friendly. They automatically gave me an upgrade since they were not filled up. When I got to my room the maids were in it, so they upgraded us again to a suite. The swimming pool on top of the roof was beautiful, and so was the view. I would definitely stay in this hotel again next time I stay in Santa Barbara.

Very nice hotel, great location.

This is a small elegant hotel in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. It's location offers you the chance to explore the shops, get a quick bite, relaxing meal or experience the great nightlife of State Street. The room was very clean and nicely decorated with a big comfy bed and a large bathroom. Service is quick and friendly and the view from the corner room was wonderful.
