It is next to the freeway but I found the cars passing soothing. ##### John Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie 3 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely staff and great area for coffee, wine and exploration ##### Stephanie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jan 12 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Jan Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Thach 25 Nov 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Thach Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Joe 1 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities I knew the room would be small (as we got the smallest room they had), but it was barely walkable. About 8 inches to scoot between the wall and the bed. Everything was good quality and the bed itself was comfortable, but overall not worth the price paid. Usually you can justify the price with amenities, but this location doesn’t have a hot tub, or breakfast, etc. ##### Joe Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeff 17 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### 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. ##### Jeff Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anabel 9 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Anabel Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew 23 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Love this place.

We enjoyed the heated pool, and our (albeit small) patio for a glass of wine at sunset. The rooms are small but decorated cute, the staff is friendly and attentive. ##### Erin Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 7 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay at the moxie hanging out in Santa Barbara's cool beachfront weather was a relief from the heat of LA ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### douglas 12 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### So So Stay!!!!

Rooms are TINY, windows single pane and right next to railroad track. Pool seemed nice - didn't have time to go in but all other facilities and amenities off site. So given the price...... ##### Suzanne Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Robert 17 Sept 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Considering location and price expected much more.
