Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good
"The room was clean for the most part but I did find hair in the shower and some stains on a towel. There was also a large crack on the shower wall but overall everything seemed clean. I did wipe down surfaces on my own to double check. I did think the TV was a bit odd as it lists Netflix, YouTube and Chromecast but upon asking Front Desk they said they are not accessible. Not a huge deal but just odd. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful though and the AC was fantastic during the heat wave."

"The hotel has an amazing history, great location, cool amenities. The rooms are in need of some maintenance, the pool deck could use a good pressure washing of the loose gravel, but overall it was a fun trip."

Steps to the Sand: Enjoy beach views & a private fenced yard. Great for families

10/10 Excellent
"The location was perfect and the home was cozy and charming. Having dedicated parking was a huge bonus. We were there in a heatwave and David, the host, made sure we had fans to cool the back bedrooms where the AC could not reach. No controlling weather, but he did go out of his way to keep us comfortable. We would definitely come back."

Mar Monte Hotel, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent
"I got great service since first showing up. The valet was very friendly and helpful. When going to the front desk, they gave my wife and I a free room upgrade for free. They ask gave great service and Kathleen took care of the 3rd party issues that I got the hotel from. They have a great and comfortable place. My wife loved the bed and the view from the balcony. It was also nice that the valet rented out the bikes for free. I highly recommend this hotel."

Blue Sands Inn, A Kirkwood Collection Hotel

Blue Sands Inn, A Kirkwood Collection Hotel

8/10 Good
"The property was maintained appropriately. We had an issue with maid service because the card indicating service fell off the door. We were able to get additional towels from the front desk. Unfortunately, there were very active dwellers in the room above us that made it difficult to sleep with constant pounding coming from the ceiling, but that is not the hotel's fault. We parked in the front disabled parking. There is a blue striped island next to the disabled space that is supposed to be free of vehicles, but vehicles were allowed to park there. That is not correct."
