Very clean and newly refurbished room. Great location. Breakfast has a wider variety of items on a Friday and Saturday - less so the rest of the week. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Really pleased we chose to stay here. The rating for eco-friendliness is lower as many breakfast items are single use and throw-away; however, that seems to be the norm on our trip with one exception

Service was good everyone came across as nice. The room was fine, but had the lingering smell of a humid enclosed space. Not quite mildew but on the verge. The breakfast was ok, the hot food had the same quality as a Mc.Donald’s breakfast. It was sufficient for what it was. During breakfast something in the kitchen area beeped very loudly multiple times and it took the staff way too long to turn it off. So they aren’t very attentive. They don’t serve you it’s a help yourself style and some of them were bussing stuff off of tables others were just standing around or just outside of the lobby eating the breakfast foods. The shower doesn’t have a door so as you shower water leaks all over the floor by the time we were done bathing after coming back from the beach the floor mat was soaked and never really dried. We just switched it out for a bath towel. The patios were nice and big and we enjoyed hanging out on it. Didn’t try out the pool but it was packed and it looked inviting along with the hot tub. Overall, I would say it’s a nice place to stay for a last minute trip to Santa Barbara over a holiday weekend.

Excellent family-friendly Inn in Santa Barbara!

What a wonderful find! It’s such an excellent location located along a street with several other inns, within a few minutes drive to the beach, and close to attractions like Stearns Wharf and the Santa Barbara Zoo. We appreciated being able to book a room with 3 queens, as our two teens didn’t have to share or fight over who had to sleep on a sofa bed. The rooms were clean and well appointed, and look just like the pictures. The complimentary breakfast included both hot and cold food items and was a very nice touch. We had a problem with our tv during our stay, but they graciously gave us a discount for the inconvenience. I would definitely stay here again.

The Avania had really good reviews, but my room had tape holding the carpeting down. The windows were filthy and the hot tub was so green as to look unsafe…a disappointment. On the plus side, a good location, decent breakfast, & friendly staff.

Recently renovated - bold art choices (mural) behind bed head. Clean, modern, comfortable, good breakfast - hosted ably by Faustina. Short walk to beach front - very convenient location… 1-2 mins off Hwy101 but far enough to have no traffic noise. Easy off street parking. Would definitely stay here again- no hesitation to recommend.
