Review Score: 6

Summary: I was excited to have a room with a fireplace, only to find out that it’s a little fake log in the fireplace that let out a bunch of fumes in my room. Obviously not happy with that. Disappointed to also find out that the ice machine was broken. The room felt tired, though I realized because I did not book through the hotel directly, I might not have had the best choice. I decided to leave early and the staff was very nice and was as accommodating and sympathetic as they were able to be so no problem there. However, Hotels.com went way out of their way to accommodate my request, and I have to say I was very happy and impressed by Customer Service. The Upham is overall a lovely historic property, and charming. They have always had a really nice restaurant on site. It’s walkable to many great spots to eat and explore in downtown Santa Barbara. I have stayed in other bed-and-breakfasts in town who go out of their way to provide yummy treats in the room, and spend more attention to detail. Uphams’ nightly cookie treats, for example were Oreos… believe they are working on restoring some of the rooms and that will be a welcome change.
