Not the worst not the best

Hotel Milo is very nice from the outside and we loved that it was super close to restaurants. However, we give this place a 3 star rating overall because of some inconveniences. The room my mother in law stayed at was in the 1st building room 100 something and I think that side of rooms are not modern at all. The room had a musky smell, the water pressure in the shower was very low and the water had a funky smell. My mother in law had to suck it up for 2 nights. The room my husband and I got was building 5 or 6 I don’t remember but it was 216 and it was much nicer than my mother in laws, but on Saturday morning there was heavy rain and we got a leak in the bathroom so we had to be moved to another room. Room 237 and that was nicer than where we were before. Much smaller but much nicer. I’m guessing all buildings are different. Some are not so upgraded and some are. The noise from the streets was a bit bothersome. Not sure if we’ll book here again. We usually stay at Hilton down the street but unfortunately they were fully booked. I think for the price they charge all rooms should at least be upgraded.

I grew up in Santa Barbara, so I know where everything is. This hotel has an amazing location where you can walk to downtown or the beaches. The bed and pillows were comfortable. It’s just a little bit outdated. The pool and Jacuzzi were nice. The pool was heated. I would stay here again.

This is older property but very clean and we liked the fact there were no carpets, the bedding and bed very clean and comfortable. Very important for us is was the "Location". Some of the simple added personal items to the room added a special touch. Thanks for a great visit!
