This is a hotel located just across the street from the beach and it is very affordable! It has a retro charm - it's clean, quiet, and everything was comfortable. You can walk to restaurants and there is a heated pool! It doesn't have all the latest updates or a bunch of frills - but it is more than comfortable. Fans are included in each room and the rooms are very clean and comfortable.

As hoteliers/restaurateurs, we have a different and sometimes stricter perspective than others. I can only congratulate the hotelier here. We had room 320 and were completely satisfied. What a great room and the service was always unobtrusively nice and courteous. We have traveled halfway around the world but rarely have we stayed in such a great hotel. Congratulations!
As there was not a hair in the soup to be found, we can wholeheartedly give a full score here...🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Santa Barbara was absolutely beautiful!!! It was really lush and green there! The wildflowers were blooming everywhere! The mountains and hills were super lush and green and very beautiful! The Botanical Gardens are incredible and are filled with poppies and wildflowers! The Mission, Courthouse, State Street, Stearns Wharf, and Alice Peck Park are all amazing places to visit! The weather was a perfect 73 degrees for most of my trip, until the last day. The people were all very nice and pleasant to deal with. Brophy's, at the Harbor has the best fish and chips that I have ever had!! There were some whales right off of the Harbor that I was privileged to see! There was also an awesome feeding frenzy that brought in hundreds of pelicans and cormorants to dive into the water at the same time!! It was phenomenal to watch. People who have lived in Santa Barbara all of their lives have never seen anything like it!!! It was an absolutely amazing trip!

We visited in February when unknown to us was the film festival, the weather was perfect, town seemed quiet even with film festival which was a bonus, still able to grab tickets. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, lots with outdoor eating with patio heaters. We enjoyed the SB Whale watching trip we did, small exclusive boat made us feel VIPs and saw plenty of humpback whales. Easy to walk around the town, but also easy to drive and explore neighbouring Montecito

For seafood, Lure is amazing!!! Chad's and Cajun Kitchen are great breakfast spots.
If you are there on Sunday, see the Art/Craft Market at the Beach. Lots of amazing stuff and all the vendors are so friendly.
Also, a huge recommendation to Olive Hill Farms in Los Olivos. Great place for oils and vinegars.

Loved the beautiful landscaping and architecture everywhere.
Loved the beautiful landscaping and architecture everywhere. Clean city and easy to navigate while driving but MapQuest misguided me numerous times. Excellent ethnic food restaurants. Lots of choices. I’m recommending “Meet Up” Chinese, “Your Place” Thai and “Masala Spice” Indian foods. Meet Up was first place I’ve ever been served by a robot!!!! Very cool!

Santa Barbara has a lot to offer from beaches to hiking...
Santa Barbara has a lot to offer from beaches to hiking mountain biking to sailing and other outdoor adventures. I would have liked to have more time to explore. Relax at the rose gardens at the mission, hike more, beach sunsets and dinner downtown. Getting around is easy. Biking is fun! I would avoid the traffic in the funk zone on Friday night. Park in a paid lot and walk in is what I recommend. Also check out the Farmer’s market downtown on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings. Wishing everyone a great time!
Harbor View Inn was one of the most beautiful hotel stops on our California tour. The room we has was HUGE and incredibly comfortable for our 2 night stay. Location was spot on - we were located in the North building which led straight out onto Mason, a stones throw away from the beach and only a 10-15 min stroll to the downtown area (even closer to the Funk Zone and wine bars!)
Nice little balcony on our 2nd floor room too! Perfect for enjoying an ice-cream from McConnells (just across the street) and a glass of something sparkling!
Everything! Located two blocks from the main Pier and in the heart of the sweet central locale of Santa Barbara! The hotel features artwork all year long that just gave it that extra touch of class and culture! They went the extra mile with all amenities and details in the room, classy, clean and charming! Such an elegant yet charming hotel! There are to lovely outdoor balcony seating areas to lounge and take in the beauty all around! Also there were complimentary bicycles to use! Truly can’t say enough! Stay here!!
The Secret Garden Inn is truly a delight. Our charming, antique-furnished cottage was beautiful and exceptionally comfortable. The proprietress was extremely kind and warm upon our arrival; we just regret we could not partake of her home-baked croissants at breakfast the following day. The Secret Garden is very well situated in an old section of Santa Barbara between the downtown area and the Mission Church. Secure, off-the-street parking is a plus.
For reasons out of our control we checked in very late and the front desk was so very accommodating, which is just what we needed at the end of the travelling day. The room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. We loved the location and quietness of the neighborhood. We also had breakfast in the restaurant and both the food and service were excellent. When we visit Santa Barbara again, we will definitely book this hotel.
Lovely hotel in all respects: Convivo, the restaurant in the hotel (where we sat outside and enjoyed views of the beach) is fabulous; all staff at hotel and in restaurant were terrific; room was spacious and comfortable and we had a nice water view from our balcony; very well located, right in between downtown Santa Barbara and Montecito. All in all, a great stay and we would definitely return!
A charming boutique hotel on a quiet street in central Santa Barbara! I had one of the studio type of rooms featuring an electric fireplace, comfy bed, table, vintage style full size fridge, desk and spacious bathroom with a large soaking tub. I also really liked the convenient self parking garage and the lovely courtyard area.I would happily stay here again.
the location was great; near the beach and walkable to a few eateries. But not right in the snazzy part of downtown. (fine with me)
The beds were comfortable, the room clean. You can tell it's an older building, but they recently repainted the rooms.
The pool looked great, we didn't swim but a family was enjoying it. Nice that it is off the street.
Everything about this hotel was perfect - we absolutely loved our stay, so much that we stayed for another evening! The pool is well heated, staff are so friendly, you are greeted by warm cookies and refreshments and the rooms are so clean and spacious. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else whilst in Santa Barbara!
There is no breakfast at Hotel Milo.
The room had a little balcony outside which was great for meeting up with friends before dinner.
The location is right on the beach a short walk to all restaurants shopping etc.
The pool and jacuzzi were great
The suites were extra clean and comfortable. loved everything about it! I will definitely be staying here again next time! The bonus is that there is a pool and hot tub in this hotel. it is also near great restaurants in Santa Barbara
A very modern hotel in the heart of Santa Barbara, within walking distance of bars and the promenade, while a little away from the bustling central street. The staff is very friendly and helps with all questions.
The staff (Ricks - you are awesome) was amazing, kind, nice, took care of everything we needed. The best service we've ever had! Moreover, the hotel is beautiful and located in a great place in Santa Barbara
Great location, on the beach plus easy walking distance to train station and downtown Santa Barbara. Loved having a balcony where we could sit outside and look out over the harbor and ocean.
Fantastic location by the beach, pier and harbour. Walking distance to everything! A gorgeous small hotel perfect for families with a delicious breakfast included.
