Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good
"Stayed for 1 night and our room was clean. It really is set up more like a motel, as in you access rooms from outside/parking—that’s the style of accommodations that are all in the area. It was comfortable and room was nicer than I expected. Free breakfast was a nice add on. Typical hotel breakfast—waffles, instant oatmeal, yogurt, baked goods, & coffee. Easy access to downtown area and can walk to everything."

"Amazing stay at Inn by the Harbor. Friendly staff with lots of tips on where to visit. Brophy Bros by the harbour is a must visit for dinner as is Chads for brunch. Breakfast and happy house cheese & wine included was an added bonus. 5 star would recommend."

"Was a great last-minute stay I usually don’t leave reviews. This hotel was such a lifesaver. The room was clean overall fair amount of towels for the two person room we had however I will say the breakfast itself is not continental. It’s just a few bagels and muffins with some fruit in the lobby. Close to everything that you need in downtown was very fun."

"The rooms could really benefit from comfortable chairs. Our room had a banquet chair instead of an easy chair or comfortable chair. The AI help sent another banquet chair when we requested a nice one. Finally, we got an easy chair. It's important to have comfortable chairs; not everyone likes to sit on beds to watch TV or read."
