Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"."

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"Starting with check in, Jeremiah and everyone was so welcoming. The check in process was very quick and easy. The room was very clean. Bed was on the softer side, which I loved and the pillows were great not too soft not to firm. There are plenty of amenities included in the stay, wishing I got to stay just a little longer to enjoy everything the Milo has to offer. Oh yes and the guys at the valet 10/10."

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room. wonderful toiletries, great having a separate bedroom, queen and full beds. The outside patio was private and lovely with bistro chairs and a table for two, lemon trees and plants lining the fenced patio. Parking was always available. The hotel is conveniently located near the beach, and many cultural activities, shops and restaurants. The staff are courteous and helpful. I would stay again!"

Sandpiper Lodge

6/10 Okay

"Paint colors on the wall was super depressing — the rooms need to be painted a brighter color not mocha / maroon orange blah otherwise it was a priced well / nice pool Great having multiple beds with a seperate a room in one unit — — one more piece of advice for the hotel staff swap out the queen bed with a king bed — & REPAINT THE WALLS A brighter color"

Blue Sands Inn, A Kirkwood Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"Updated rooms. Bathroom was okay. Room was next to maids closet so heard everything outside. Room stated ocean view but was not the ocean view I expected. More a side view and ocean from a far. Fire place was not working. Customer service was great and they apologized and made it correct. More 3 star hotel feel."
