Avania Inn of Santa Barbara
Room was clean, but had multiple light bulbs that were out and a bathroom light/fan switch that didn’t work. Staff was not very friendly. Location is good, with lots of restaurants within walking distance.

Hyatt Place Santa Barbara
Breakfast is typical. Similar to many other hotels breakfast (scramble eggs, boil eggs, bacon, oatmeal, bagel, coffee, juice, apple and banana…). But the only thing is they open from 7am and close at 9am. Be sure to be there early.
