Top Lower State Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel would go again . Kids loved the outside area"

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Keurig in room is always a plus for us. Staff could not have been more pleasant. Breakfast was fine-good coffee, muffins, croissants and yogurt. Didn’t try the waffles but others enjoyed them. Pool is small and not that inviting, but that was not our focus. Bed very comfy. Very close to beach. Easy parking! We’ve stayed about 3 times so there you have it! Oh yeah, cookies in the lobby at check-in🍪"
