Nice location - average accommodations
Couples trip 50th bday; reserved room with view (deluxe). When I asked why the room didn’t have a view the staff walked me out to the common patio area and said “see water view”. It was comical but super misleading. Walks are very thin, I heard the person in room next to me 5am conversation. Bathroom in lobby was so grossly dirty. Bad first impression. We made the best of it but would not recommend.
Spacious room (deluxe option)

This was an amazing trip from start to finish. We were greeted by the wonderful Valet, then check in was so fast and friendly, Once we arrived to the room we were welcomed with champagne and smores for my friends birthday. The room was beautiful and the cleaning staff made sure we had everything we needed. At checkout it was also fast and the valet was wonderful with letting us leave our car while we got coffee. Love staying here every time we come to Santa Barbara

I have stayed at Hotel Milo 4 times over several years and it never disappoints. Front desk staff and valet attendants are always friendly and helpful. Rooms and clean and come with Keurig machines, coffee pods and a fridge. The property is beautiful and right across from the beach and near the harbor. There are many restaurants in walking distance.

We enjoyed our stay here. It’s very central to the beach and good restaurants. It was very clean. The bathroom is a little dated, and the lighting was pretty dim. I liked the traditional feel of the hotel. It was something a little different, not the run-of-the-mill hotel experience.

Location is excellent, staff is friendly and the common spaces are nice. But, the rooms are dated. Although the surfaces looked clean, there is old grout with bad corners, some patch-worked walls and the water temp is very delayed in the shower (a couple of ants in the shower). Another family member said their internet was slow (old tech) and the pool pump next to the room was loud. Not a good value for the cost, in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend it.

I was sadly very disappointed by the rooms at the Milo, we had literally the smallest bathroom I have ever been in, I could barely shave my legs in the shower because of how tight it was. The place just feels very run down and not at all worth the amount I spent. The only redeeming factor is that it is right near the ocean and State street, but so are a bunch of other hotels so do your research first!
