"This was a great place to stay for a long weekend in Santa Barbara. It's not fancy but it's well renovated, the room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and it was in a convenient location. Breakfast was adequate, though would have been nicer if there were some form of protein like eggs available. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay here again."
"We loved the location and the breakfast was excellent! Parking was super easy and check in was easy too! Our room was a little bit small and dark, but all in all, we loved the property. The price for the night was very reasonable!"
"Everything about the Avania was great. The room was clean and had great amentities, and the staff was nice and provided great service. I would definitely stay there again."
"Good location clean and great amenities. Don’t go by the name. The front office staff was like so many other motels unfriendly or incompetent. But I guess you have to live with it. Ignore them and enjoy the property"
"We had the best stay!! The hotel was clean and super conveniently located in proximity to everything. Ben checked us in and he was just delightful. Would 10/10 recommend."
"Everything was so beautiful. All the people are so friendly and knowledgeable. Best hotel experience ever. The room was so comfortable and big enough for 4 people to be comfortable. Beds were so cozy. I will be back. The only thing for me was I didn't win any money in the casino but my last visit I did. You can't win every time. I highly recommend the Chumash Casino Hotel. You won't regret it."
