Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

2.5 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (1521)
"Stay was exactly as expected. Perfect location. The room itself was clean, comfy, and quiet. Felt weird that the shower didnt have a door. Easy for water to get out and i assume would create water damage/mold. The heater/AC unit was hard to control, but not a deal breaker. The breakfast and cookies were a great addition. The pool and hot tub were nice, but definitely needed to be cleaned. Overall, would stay again. "

"Cute little place off of a Main Street, good location walking distance from the water. Service was lovely and the included breakfast was nice! The room was also nice and renovated. Maintenance was a bit odd- people were in our room when we checked in and in the morning, someone was cleaning our balcony, which was located next to two big glass doors next to the bed. We thought it was a little expensive for the lack of amenities."
