I loved how easy it was to stroll to the Funk Zone and enjoy all the local art galleries and eateries a few steps from the hotel. A quick walk to Ambassador Park for some lovely views made my weekend so memorable.

comfortable bed

cramped bathroom

I stayed for 3 nights in a cozy room with a large, comfy bed and enjoyed the sweet Echo Dot for playing my favorite tunes. The hotel had a lovely outdoor pool where I could chill and a sun terrace perfect for relaxing with a drink. Just a heads up, the bathroom felt a bit cramped, but overall it was a fantastic experience. 😊

The Moxy in Santa Barbara has a cool, vibrant vibe. Love the modern decor and the energetic atmosphere. The lounge area is perfect for hanging out with friends or planning a night out. Enjoyed the shared kitchen with free coffee and pastries—super convenient. Rooms are cozy but very compact. I really appreciated the comfortable beds, but the shower layout was awkward. water splattered everywhere. Check-in drinks were a nice touch, especially after a long drive. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, I had a great time, but the added costs and shower experience could be improved.

I absolutely loved the vibrant decor and welcoming common areas. The hotel felt accessible and inviting for seniors, with comfortable seating and well-positioned amenities, making it easy for us to enjoy our stay leisurely.

More seating options in the common areas would help.

street noise

Had a pleasant trip with a uniquely styled hotel that offered a great community vibe and cozy rooms. It’s conveniently located near food and entertainment. However, the bathrooms were quite small, and the street noise was a bit disruptive at times, particularly for light sleepers.

communal kitchen

comfortable bed

Perfect for a quick getaway

The bed was super comfy, best sleep I've had in ages. Also, the communal kitchen was a lifesaver, coffee available 24/7, can't beat that!

It wasn't exactly inexpensive but still worth it for the comfort.
