This was the prefect stay for us. We had four rooms booked and 16 of us staying for a special birthday trip.The hotel staff could not have been better. The hotel has just had a refit and the rooms are excellent - a proper boutique hotel feel to them. The location couldn't be better for Santa Barbara - right on beach and pier, and just round the corner from all the amenities on state street. We really recommend Hotel Milo.

Great location. Rooms needs to be updated badly bathroom tub old gringy, cracking. Furniture with fridge beat up. Bed not comfortable very small ocean front room. Fireplace did not ignite. Housekeeping slow would leave for the day come back at 3 or 4 pm no service for a couple of days. The lounge chairs by pool many were torn unusable they still put pool towels on them. Also the hot tub did not work for 2 days until I caught someone to have it checked out. It was heating but no jets working

Great location on the seafront. Rooms were well appointed and clean. Staff were very helpful. The smoores on the seafront were a nice touch. One of the rooms air conditioning didn't work properly, thankfully the weather was cooler so it wasn't a problem.

Ocean View Room

Our stay was comfortable in renovated king ocean view room. It was quiet, and clean. It's a view of the Marina, more so than the ocean, but still pretty. Check in was slow, our room wasn't ready although they claim "guarantee" check in by 4pm. The staff seem overwhelmed by the guests. The hotel lobby bathroom was out of order. All that being said, we'd stay here again.

Love the location. I appreciate the fireplace in the front of the hotel and the smores hotel provided, I thought that was unique and awesome! I did not mind the size (petite) of room I booked, however as a woman solo travel I was not comfortable that my room was all the way in the back on the side in which made me feel somewhat unsafe. I even had to call the front desk to get reassurance.
