The Milo

The Milo

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at The Milo was incredible! There are many buildings that make up this property, which gave it a unique, more personal feel. The rooms were smaller, but nicely appointed. The pools are nice and heated (when needed). The location is amazing, right on the Pacific Ocean and walking distance to the heart of Santa Barbara. One of my favorite things was the use of beach cruiser bikes, for free! It was great to check out a bike and cruise around town. All of the employees were exceptionally kind, friendly, and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel!"
