Avania Inn of Santa Barbara
"A clean, comfortable room. Nothing fancy but a good base for seeing Santa Barbara. Close to restaurants and the beach. The breakfast was limited and the pool is tiny. Friendly, helpful staff and quiet rooms."

Beachside Inn
"The location is definitely the biggest advantage of this hotel, and the breakfast was quite good. The staff was friendly and the room was generally clean. However, the rooms are very outdated and don’t justify the price. The bathroom sink wouldn’t drain properly, and the refrigerator didn’t work ..."
