The property was clean,cozy,and quaint. I enjoyed my stay and the room was small but suited me perfectly. The staff were very helpful and very accommodating.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

It's cute, clean and the staff is very friendly. It has lots of cute nooks to hang in and games to play. However, do not expect any type of space in your room. It's tiny. Well designed, but teeny tiny. The bathroom is even tinier. Feels as though the entire bathroom is inside the shower. Interesting concept, but not very comfortable. Location is excellent.

Nice staff, great location. Rooms where super small and very outdated. Not worth the almost $800 / night after fees and parking. Try Hotel Santa Barbara for similar pricing and much nicer rooms.

​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!

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.

Great location. Clean. Very nice staff. Room was tiny. Odd shower design. Be sure to point the showerhead all the way down or you'll end up with water all over the bathroom floor. Weekend rates are way overpriced for that size room
