Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"Very good experience at this hotel. Great location.. walking distance to the beach and some good restaurants. Hotel is across the street from a park, so there were a few unsavory people hanging around from time to time but left us alone. Our room was a great size for my wife and I and had a nice balcony facing the parking lot. The hotel really needs to reconsider its bathroom design, as the shower only had half a door, so water goes everywhere on the floor. The AC also ran all day, so, while it was comfortably cool in the room, it was also very humid. The staff was great.. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly."

"It was a convenient location with access to the freeway, but not too close to it. The room was certainly big enough, the bed comfortable, the TV clear and a nice sofa. The breakfast was good with a broad selection. Parking was easy and the hotel was small enough that there wasn't a long walk from the lot. We will certainly stay here everytime we come to Santa Barbara!"
