What guests say
about staying here.
★★★★★
“Our stay at Casa Riviera was honestly one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had in a long time. The hotel was spotless, quiet, and in a prime location, making it easy to enjoy everything nearby. The staff was incredibly friendly, responsive, and graciously accommodated a late checkout after our late arrival, which we truly appreciated. What impressed us most was the attention to detail. They even had an air purifier in the room—a thoughtful touch you rarely see. It’s clear they genuinely care about their guests’ comfort and have put a lot of thought into the little things that make a stay exceptional. Overall, it was a relaxing, comfortable, and memorable experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend Casa Riviera to anyone visiting the area.”
★★★★★
“This was my second time staying at Casa Riviera and it is the bast home base when traveling here. The location is close to many restaurants, shops and services that is very walkable. It’s also a short drive from many major attractions. The hotel is always clean and well kept. Check in/out is easy and communications from management (via texts and emails) are helpful and informative. Bonus points this time: Union my arrival, their gardener/handyman noticed the sound coming from my car, and immediately informed me that I needed power steering fluids. Found an AutoZone 5 mins away and got the problem solved! I didn’t see him the rest of my stay (and forgot to get his name), so please a big thank you to him! Will definitely come back again next time I’m in town!”
★★★★★

★★★★★
“Everything was perfect about this stay: the communication was top-tier. Each inquiry I had was answered within 5-10 minutes max. The unit felt secure, was within walking distance to State St, perfectly clean and with modern decor. The elevated ceilings and ambient lighting made it even better. My sister had forgotten her toothbrush, and imagine our surprise when we found all kinds of amenities! Toothbrushes, eye masks, ear plugs, bedroom slippers, cleaning wipes for tar from the beach, makeup removing wipes, tea/water/popcorn in the kitchenette, etc. The framed art TV was a nice touch! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it. We will return for sure!”

“Amazing stay. Best stay in Santa Barbara we have had. Great communication from the staff that was always available via text for any questions. Sooooooooo many amenities were available for us. Which actually saved us since I forgot my tooth brush. The ice bucket also filled on day one and still had ice on 3rd day. Also didnt have to drive any where since it was so close to state street and near by food spots. ”
