Cute property that's secluded and quiet. Loved that it was dog friendly and would have loved to explore more if it wasn't raining! Would be great for a girls trip or a couples weekend.

This is a beautiful property with lots of potential. The hot tub and pool were not heated. The incidental hold is $150, but wasn't disclosed at any point.

My fiancé and I stayed here last week for a wedding and will definitely make this our go to hotel whenever we are in town. The booking was quick and easy and hassle free which was convenient after driving hours to get to Santa Barbara. We had a positive encounter with a gentleman by the name of Mr. Ramirez who welcomed us with complementary coffee, breakfast and gave us a rundown of the restaurant and amenities. The front desk attendant made checking in a breeze and was able to get us our room right away. I really feel that Mr. Ramirez and the entire staff at the Steward make this hotel feel comfortable. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thanks again to the entire staff for creating a positive experience on us. Kudos!

We recently stayed at The Steward, Santa Barbara, and overall, it was a lovely experience. The property is beautifully designed, with a relaxed, boutique vibe and lush landscaping that gives it a peaceful, retreat-like atmosphere. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, and thoughtfully appointed with modern amenities. We especially loved the comfortable bed and stylish furnishings. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the location is great - both a short drive to both the beach and downtown Santa Barbara while still feeling tucked away. However, we did encounter a significant issue with the air conditioning in our room. The unit was unbelievably loud — loud enough to make sleep nearly impossible. We were told this is a known issue with the newer systems, but unfortunately, there was no real solution offered aside from earplugs or a white noise machine. Since no alternate rooms were available, we had to turn the unit off and deal with the heat, which made for some uncomfortable nights. It’s disappointing that such a well-designed and otherwise high-end property would overlook something so critical to guest comfort. That said, we still enjoyed our stay and appreciate the overall experience. If they can resolve the A/C issue, this hotel would easily be a five-star rating.
