Top hotels in Santa Barbara Beach
Avania Inn of Santa Barbara
The swimming pool and jacuzzi were extremely dirty. Complimentary breakfast was uninspiring. Waffles and bananas along with juice and coffee. Not pleasant if staying for 3 days as we did. Room cleaning every 3rd day was shocking and we were very disappointed 😔
