Thedesk staff was incredibly rude. My colleagues and I were sitting for a chat in the lobby and the front desk person literally kicked us out and said that the public spaces closed at 11pm. I've never hear dof such a thing.

The rooms were nicely soundproofed in the adjoining walls. The staff was friendly and helpful. Nice casual but professional atmosphere. The shared amenities were very accessible. If you're into the SB Funk Zone this is a good place for you.

Great property! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Everything was clean always. Very good location can walk anywhere. My only complaint is not actual closet to hang clothes. Very small room. But otherwise a great spot!

Walls are a little thin. I could hear everything going on in the hallway or the guy throwing up in the next door bathroom. But all in all it was very nice place and would stay there again.

Great location, but not great value for the price

This is a cute spot in a great location, but it is, in my opinion, very over priced for the value. Service was excellent, staff was great.They tell you on check in that the rooms are "European style" & "Cozy" and I'm sure they do this because people have complained. They are small room, not bad but small and boutique feeling. The bathrooms are crazy small, the shower and toilet share space and you flip a little glass door open to cover the toilet when showering. I could not turn around in the shower without the shower curtain catching me and then clinging to me... not my favorite. Very much like an RV shower in terms of space. Don't even dream of reaching all the way down to wash your feet. Additionally our room was on the freeway side and was INCREDIBLY loud with freeway directly outside of our window, all night noise. Bathroom door is glass and when my wife got up earlier than me to shower I was up too because the light from that door shines right at you in bed. Great walking area close by. The price is why I would not stay again. I might for around half the price per night if I wanted to stay on more of a budget night with less of a room, but it was WAY overpriced for what I felt we got. I found myself wishing we had chosen a different hotel.

Staff was really nice! The room was tiny, the bathroom missing a hanger, the bunk bed was extremely dangerous, two loose handles, ladder slide off and the steps hurt the kid feet when climbing up/down, and when the bed down, the sharp corners if not careful will split someone head/face, and one of the closer door came loose! The property was also under construction so… Way over price and a very dangerous stay.

This is NOT a hotel, not even a B&B and shouldn’t be listed on this site. No food service, no staff onsite after 21:00 and excruciatingly expensive. A complete Scam.

Welcome drinks and open kitchen for Publix use was a very nice touch, unfortunately weather was too chilly to use the nice outside amenities. Lots of breweries/winery within walking distance including some great restaurants. Hotel was very nicely designed and simple with a great ambiance, however prepare to use lots of towels (plenty for 2 provided)for the floor once someone takes a shower if you like it dry (think bathrooms in Japan). It was a great place for a weekend getaway, front desk staff were super friendly and accommodating. The night desk gentleman was stern to be quiet when we did walk in a little drunk late at night but I'm sure the other guests appreciated it haha. Would def recommend and come back when I have the chance.

I had a great stay at Moxy in Santa Barbara! The room was spacious, clean, modern and a great value for the price. The location is perfect, ideal for exploring local breweries and wine tasting rooms. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, making check-in a breeze. I loved the unique vibe of the hotel. The check-in area is a bar and the lobby doubles as a game room. There’s also a commercial fridge, microwave, and complimentary coffee, tea, and even dog treats for all guests, which I thought was a nice touch. Overall, Moxy was a great choice for my stay and if I ever visit Santa Barbara again, I'm definitely staying here.

Dorm room style room, no amenities to speak of. An awkward bathroom situation. Right next to freeway. No dining, proper breakfast etc. Didn’t fully understand from pics what was what. Not fully grasping the price/value. Other than that, nice and friendly staff, convenient to State Street, Funk Town, wharf, etc.
