Very cute hotel with nice rooms and beds and in a great location. You can walk anywhere in a short time. Our first night we had some noise issues, cause room was close to elevators. We talked to receptionist next morning and we could move into another room with no noise interruption. That was excellent service. I recommend this hotel.

Amazing Staff and Great Hotel

Our stay at Hotel Virginia was so lovely simply because of the amazing staff they have. I wish I got everyones names to thank them during this review because that is how great they all were. The valet attendants were so kind and always willing to help and always had a smile on their face! The front desk woman during check-in was so great and the whole process was super quick! And the cleaning staff were just as lovely too. The staff here seem to enjoy their jobs and it shows in their mannerisms towards the patrons. The hotel itself is great; clean rooms, location was perfect, no outside noise, and our room was a good size but I promise the staff is what makes it the best place to stay in Santa Barbara.
