"Loved my weeklong stay. The room overlooking the pool and beach was so comfortable and amazing. The restaurant is 5-star whether it’s morning latte, scrumptious breakfast or lunch or incredible dinner choices impeccably prepared. I really didn’t have to venture beyond the restaurant for amazing fresh Mediterranean/Italian food and stellar service. Thank you for making my work (writing) holiday so memorable!!"
"We loved everything about this Motel 6. The room was clean and decorated nicely and the shower was the best ever at a motel. The front desk staff were friendly and it was a beautifully groomed property. We didn’t get to use the pool but it looked very well cleaned. And the location was perfect!"
"Older property, obvious attempts to keep up to date and smells really clean in the room. Needs a bit of cleaning around the edges, some repair of the grab bars in the bathroom needed. "

"Everyone couldn’t have been friendlier and customer service excellent. The only 2 downsides were the restaurant Costa and when checking out the printer at front desk wasn’t working.
Both mornings we went to Costa for breakfast and my friend ordered a toasted bagel with plain cream cheese and both times it had to be re-prepared. Also, please use real Crab in Crab Benedict, not canned!"

Inn By The Harbor
5/5 Excellent
"From the moment that we checked in-the friendliness and professionalism of Diego at the front desk through the lovely wine and cheese reception, the picturesque courtyard with garden benches, the pool and the tasty breakfast with fresh fruit, mini quiches and oatmeal among other items-we knew we had found a gem. We highly recommend!"

"This has got to be one of my all time favorite stays! The hotel was incredibly clean, the shower heads were wonderful with good pressure, and there was a trash can at every area you’d need to throw something away. There was a machine in the lobby that would make coffee, cappuccino, or hot chocolate whenever you wanted and the breakfast was hot and delicious (not to mention complimentary!) I kept trying to find something I’d change about my stay and I couldn’t find anything. One thing I would note is that if you are wanting to spend a lot of time in the pool or hot tub, it is rather small. That wasn’t a big deal to us since we hadn’t planned on using those amenities. Every staff member we encountered was very professional and pleasant. It very much felt like a private secluded inn rather than a busy mainstay hotel. My husband and I are making Santa Barbara a yearly trip and we will only book with Avania Inn from now on."
