Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was very well maintained and the room was modern and clean. Location was equal distance to the marina and pier - about .5 miles. Room was quiet and the hotel felt safe. Good for families, friends or for a place near the beach. Not a couples places, though."
