5/5 Excellent
Good stop along the way
"Nice stay; walkable to harbor area restaurants. TV remote not working. "
A verified traveler stayed at Avania Inn of Santa Barbara
"Somehow, they make this motel a 5 star experience. Accommodations are excellent. And staff is helpful. There are so many touches that take this hotel to the next level. I couldn’t recommend it more!!"
A verified traveler from Cabot stayed at Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach
"We really enjoyed our stay! Had a room with a balcony and ocean view - definitely worth it although would have been nice to not have been in a corner as it limited the view. Rooms were lovely, and staff accommodating. Rate was competitive for the area, but the resort and parking fees added another $250 for our 3 nt stay - at least it was expected and spelled out during the booking process. Enjoyed a dinner in the restaurant one evening with very nice live music. Great location - walkable to beach, wharf, and downtown as long as you have your walking shoes on. Would definitely go back. Only disappointment were the towels - need an upgrade."
A verified traveler stayed at Mar Monte Hotel, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
"Really nice stay, clean, decent breakfast, conveniently located near the town centre and quiet. What you expect from a 3* hotel, if only other places were up to that standard."
"Although our room was behind the elevator, it was still nice on a Wednesday. Proximity to shops, restaurants and conveniences. It was a good value. Will stay there again in the future"
