The folks at Casa Riviera have provided a superlative offering; we tend to have very high standards for a room, so that says quite a lot. Our simple king-bed with mountain view room was filled with amenities that made us stay an additional night, then day in Santa Barbara. Casa Riviera was easily one of the nicest rooms we have ever experienced - and that should say it all, coming from a retired couple. The location was perfect for walking and exploring, which allowed us to do so time and again, after relaxing in the room. The most unique aspects of our stay were all the little aspects of the room that made it comfortable: very comfortable bed (w/ duvet!), clean and neat, excellent lighting (including the high ceilings and general open atmosphere), dimmer switches, timer lights and fan, very functional small kitchen, perfect coffee maker, no sofa as expected - but very comfortable table-chairs, large/open bath, ...even the curtains and windows are worth mentioning. Access to the room, stairwells, parking, just everything was perfect! Casa Riviera has really outdone themselves with this offering. Again, we have very high standards, and there is absolutely nothing not to praise. The text messaging - even booking the additional night - was very efficient/responsive, and these folks seemed to go out of their way to make our stay wonderful. We cannot give this offering enough praise. Thank you Casa Riviera!!!

The only ding was the bath/shower. It was very slippery, and there was no rubber mat to put down when showering. As someone pushing 80, a fall would be a serious problem. Otherwise, an excellent experience.

Bathroom wall and shower were dirty. Shower water pressure was weak. Water temperature was hard to control. It was either scalding or cold. Worst was I was itchy all other. It watts no pets on the beds but clearly there was dander since I’m allergic. I did not sleep all night.

Rooms are huge including the bathrooms & TV's are also huge:) Everything spotless and tons of natural light in room 12. Liked be able to enter off the street--no hallway:) Everything you could possibly need is provided. Loved a keypad at entry that you could see the numbers in the sunlight! Very walkable to State Street. A real find in Santa Barbara:)
