It was ok
The location of the hotel was great, right across the ocean/harbor. It's a huge hotel with several buildings. A big part of the experience is absolutely depending on the location of your room..... The decoration of the room is very spare, not a lot of thought went into this and it was outdated. The bathroom was VERY small, not even two persons could fit in there simultaneously. The bed was comfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Almost $700 a night and all night there was noise of dragging furniture. When I called the front office to request assistance, the guy told me: "What do you want me to do?" He sounded checked out completely. The room is nothing like the pictures on the website. If I had stayed at Motel 6, I'd have received better service and amenities. This hotel takes advantage of the beach across, but just so it is clear, the beach is not clean, and there are a ton of homeless. This was such a bitter disappointment, and I was really excited to visit SB after a long time.

Great location in sunny Santa Barbara
Lovely stay in Santa Barbara. Great location nice big rooms but a small and dated bathroom. If you get one of the family suites / the bunk beds are enormous and comfy and the added benefit of having a mini terrace on the top floor. The swimming pool is small but fine for a dip and has a a jacuzzi. They provide bicycles for free - lovely for going out on a quick explore.

Property was kept up incredibly well, the location is hard to beat, and the staff was very helpful! The room was slightly dated in my opinion, but for the value and location it’s hard to complain.

We had a lovely stay at Hotel Milo. It’s in the perfect location for the beach, as well as the shops and some lovely restaurants. Good size rooms, with very comfy beds. The two pools are lovely too. And the staff are wonderful!

Cute hotel near the beach
The valet staff was wonderful. From helpful tips for the nearby golf course to providing towels and beach chairs- they were wonderful. The room was small and old but the location near the beach was perfect. We hardly utilized the car as we were able to walk to nearby restaurants, wineries and breweries. The hotel rooms are a little old but it adds to the charm.
