Hotel Indigo Santa Barbara, an IHG Hotel

Lovely hotel in a great location. My husband talked about how fun it would be to take the train next time and roll our bags right over to Hôtel Indigo. I was disappointed not to have free parking but we easily found a space on the street. Loved being able to walk to the beach, the pier and an awesome sushi restaurant, Oku.

If you like small NY style hotel rooms, this is your spot. I travel to Santa Barbara for work, monthly, for the past 9yrs & occasionally will try a new hotel. Unfortunately I tried the Indigo. Literally not enough room in the bedroom to where you almost have to step over your suitcase to walk to the bathroom (which is maybe 18 inches away from the foot of the bed). I could barely fit in the shower & the obnoxious heater turned on & off every minute. Due to covid, it was fairly empty, but you could still hear everything going on in other rooms, so i couldn't imagine a fully occupied place. Thankfully I found street parking because they wanted to charge $48 / night for parking too. I rarely give bad reviews because it typically has to deal with staff, snd in that case I'll deal with it face to face. The staff here was nice. This was simply a comfort issue. Out of the 20+ places I've stayed in SB, never such a thin-walled tiny uncomfortable room.

We were expecting more of this hotel. Tiny rooms, not properly cleaned. Expensive $48 daily parking. Great restaurant.

You are definitely paying for location. Just one block away from the pier and great restaurants within walking distance. We were thinking about taking our dog since the hotel Is pet friendly but once we saw the room we were so glad we didn’t. The rooms are small. If you are over 6ft you will have a tough time moving around and using the bathroom. You are paying for a bed to sleep on and that’s about it.

Small room with king size bed. Faced State Street therefore very noisy well past midnight. Close to everything.

Excellent location Tiny room but had everything we needed Cutest little patio just outside the room

There was hair on the towels and brown and black stains too. The floors were dirty. The bed had dirty on it. Dogs barked all night. Guest services was nice. Great location just a dirty location. The room is really really small.

Hotel is in a great location--but our room was tiny with barely any room around the bed and shower. The hotel is right next to the train tracks--so expect to get blasted by the trains as they sound their horns as they roll into the station. There's a reason why they supplied a white noise maker in the room (a first).

Fantastic location. However, the interior of rooms, especially the bathrooms, looks outdated, and part may be due to wear and tear through the years. I also expected a trendier or artsy decor, but there was little to no character to the interior and walls of the room. Bathroom also features a very surprising gray Ikea bath rug. I know it's Ikea because I have the exact same bath rug.
