Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"Such a great location to the sea front and to Stearns Wharf. The staff were also really friendly and the room was great. I will say though if you have super thick/long hair like I do, the showers will take longer as the water pressure isn’t very strong (just my opinion though.) For men and for women who have short hair, you’ll be absolutely fine! The shower cleanliness and amenities itself were great."
