I love this hotel. I used to stay here when it was the weyferer! Loved it then too. If you’re looking for a great location in Santa Barbara this is it. I recommend eating at Loquita for dinner basically next door. The pool is warm. Ping pong and games outside our patio. The community kitchen is great if you bring your own snacks for a nice aperitivo in your room or by the pool. Cute rooms! Comfy bed we slept like babies. Also recommend the monticito springs hike to the hot springs. Easy check in and out. Thanks for our great time and good location to downtown.

Life provided a stretch of time in Santa Barbara, and this trip we booked the Moxy due to proximity to the funk zone and all it has to offer. Flight delay got us in a little later than expected, and the check in was smooth and easy with some light hearted poking fun between Dodgers and Padres fans (couple checking in before us and Moxy team member Dodgers, we're Padres!!!) which was all good. ||Upstairs to our room and wow, literally a shoebox with the bed against the wall on two sides and bathroom small enough a single person fits. The room was, well, surprisingly small. The pillows were flat and bed had the flex in the mattress from people always sleeping on one side and wearing a sinkhole for lack of a better term. Combined with the view of the Gentlemen's Club across the street the vibe was just... off.||Next morning really enjoyed the coffee bar downstairs. Had to take a couple work calls and in general, though it was a Friday the morning was relatively quiet and coffee good! Moxy has a hostel type feel and could really work for some people, it just did not for us. We checked out after one night as we explored the Santa Barbara lodging options.||Pro's are close proximity to everything funk zone, and a REALLY GREAT team! Check in, check out, young lady in AM handling the front and latte machine - all good!!!||Cons are room size, and the view of the Spearmint Rhino adult entertainment across the street provided a little sketch feel to the neighborhood, like, make sure nothing is in your car kinda vibe!!!

I stayed here for a wedding and couldn’t have been happier. The location is perfect. It is walking distance to downtown, great restaurants and the beach. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly throughout the stay. The pool area was a great spot to relax and unwind. The vibe is fun, the rooms are clean and the overall experience was exactly what we hoped for. Highly recommend.

We initially booked this hotel for its central location, walkable to the beach and State street. The room we got was very small, but it had a bunk bed, and my daughter absolutely loved it. It was a whole new adventure for her sleeping on a bunk bed. Mattresses are super comfy actually. The pool area is very pleasant with various games for entertainment . The front desk personal is so nice and friendly. It’s one of the places you start liking as you go.

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.

My favorite Moxy hotel by far. The location was close to everything we needed; beach, pier, restaurants. The poolside room was a two second walk to the pool and a minute walk to state street. This will definitely be my go to property in Santa Barbara.

I stayed at the Moxy Santa Barbara for the first time and absolutely loved it! You can't beat the Moxy's location. It's close to endless shops, restaurants, and the beach. The staff is incredibly friendly and the hotel is clean and decorated really well. This is my new go-to hotel for all my Santa Barbara trips!

Carlos was amazing.. what cool experience! Not your typical hotel. Awesome decor with activities everywhere. Also you can cook your own food. They gave me a mix drink on arrival.. counting down the days to come back
