The room was very very small. There barely enough floor space for two luggages. The ac would not go below 67 degrees. We lowered it to 67 and even then it didn’t feel like it was 67 degrees.

Had a small plumbing issue in our room. We were accommodated right away and given a new room. We’ve stayed here a few different times; location is ideal!!!

Loved it! Great hotel. Great location.
I lived in Santa Barbara for over 20 years and still visit often. This was my first time staying at the Riviera Beach House and I loved it. The hotel and rooms are very nice and it's in a great location. I enjoyed my stay there very much as a single traveler and will stay there again. However, I would not recommend the hotel to a couple. The rooms are tiny. Very tiny. The photo is the view from my window this morning.

Good looking hotel, but avoid room 207
Though the hotel is aesthetically pleasing, the room we stayed in (#207) was not very comfortable. I hope this does not apply to other rooms, but the most uncomfortable aspect of this room (#207) is that there is a constant rumbling sound coming through the ceiling and/or wall. It seems that this room is either directly under or next to the ventilation or other mechanical equipment and I could not sleep through it. The staff was kind enough to give me earplugs when I asked for them, but I could still hear/feel the noise. The other issue with the room is that the designer thought it would be a very cool & modern touch to have a frosted glass door into the bathroom, it is indeed very impractical and annoying. When one person is sleeping and the other goes to the bathroom in the middle of the night and switches the light on...the whole bedroom is essentially lit. It doesn't make sense to have all the bathroom lights (ceiling + mirror) connected to one switch. They should have left the mirror light switched on independently of the ceiling so a smaller light source can come on at night...or at the very least have a separate night light in the bathroom. The last comment about the hotel in general is that it's few steps away from the train tracks & crossing. It is alarming when a train blares its horn in the middle of the night. Ugh!

Convenient but noisy stay
This hotel is very close to the beach, which is great, but it is also very close to the train tracks. Depending on where your room is, you may hear the train at night. Our room was also close to the patio, which provided additional noise. When we arrived, there was no soap in the bathroom, and the front desk could only provide us with face soap. The bed was very comfortable, and since we we planned to spend most of our time outside of the room, the stay was good overall.
