about staying here.
★★★★★
“Cleanliness, communication, the rooms themselves were all 10/10. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the SB area.”
★★★★★
“The room was very nice, spacious and clean! It had a luxurious feel with nice amenities. The check-in / check-out process would not have been any easier or smooth. For a place that has no on-site staff (other than housekeeping), the communication was on-point, accommodating, and super fast. I even left my cologne behind when I checked out. They texted me to let me know I left it and that I could come pick it up if I was still in the area. I was, and I went back later that day, and when I texted them to tell them I was there, 2 minutes later the housekeeper came out with my cologne. The location is perfect, only 3 blocks (a short 7-8 minute walk) to State St.”

“Great stay in Santa Barbara. We loved waking up to the beautiful view and we felt like we could walk everywhere! The bed was also very comfortable!”
★★★★★
“We had a great stay at Casa Riviera. A very nice mix of contemporary amenities with classic Santa Barbara charm. We really enjoyed the relaxing view and high quality bedding in our room, and appreciated that no corners were cut with any of the details. Definitely a very high quality hotel that we would certainly recommend and return to.”
★★★★★
“We loved our stay in Santa Barbara. The location of the Casa Riviera was perfect. We walked to a concert at the SB Bowl. I think it would have taken more time to drive and find parking. The room was very clean and we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the parking space too.”
★★★★★
“Great location…..close to shopping and dining. We ubered to a show at the SB bowl, and easily walked back down the hill to the room. There was always available parking underneath, and there was never an issue with noise. We would definitely stay here again.”
★★★★★
“We had such an amazing stay at Casa Riveria! For our anniversary we wanted a more luxurious vacation and this lodging did not disappoint. It was beautiful, charming and super comfortable. We had a balcony that overlooked the mountains and the entire room was perfect. So many little details that made our stay extra special. The staff was very attentive and super kind.”
★★★★★
“Our stay at Casa Rivera was excellent. The location was right down town and very convenient, with ample parking in a private garage below our building. The room was very clean, spacious and well appinted. In addition we had a nice private patio to enjoy with a beautiful view of the mountains. The communication with our host was top notch. The responses to our questions were very prompt. We highly recommend Casa Riviera.”
