The Milo

The Milo

10/10 Excellent
"From the Valet staff, to the front desk, service was excellent. Location excellent… loved having access to bikes and beach chairs. It’s a little overpriced, but so is everything in SB. We were coming off a week of dropping kids at 2 schools on 2 different coasts and just needed to decompress. Totally lovely room, experience, atmosphere. We will be back."
