Piacevole soggiorno a Santa Barbara

Comodo il parcheggio incluso e la posizione a 10 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia. Colazione compresa discreta.

Rumoroso.

Gute Unterkunft für eine Zwischenübernachtung

Sehr freundliches Personal, sehr gute Lage, die Zimmer sind sauber.

Die Zimmer sind sehr (!) klein. Zum Frühstück wird nur ein Omelette angeboten, das aber sehr lecker war! Auf Nachfrage gab es sogar ein zweites. Keine hoteleigenen Parkplätze.

Overall, excellent hotel to stay in!

Love everything about Avania! 1. Lori, Jacob, Dany, Christain are all so so friendly and warm. They even offered to bring anything we need, if we need, to our table, at breakfast, but we chose not to, as they have done above what they are expected to do. 2. They make sure we are all well taken care of when we stayed there. 3. We have been staying at this hotel each time when we visit Santa Barbara. Easily minimum 4 visits this year alone. My husband once stayed in another close by hotel and he was disappointed with that hotel. Since then, he has no intent to look at other hotels. He just continues to book this hotel each time when he visits Santa Barbara for work. 4. Love love love the cookie available throughout the day. Beware - that can be fattening but it's so so good! My husband has to stop me from grabbing them each time when we return from our trip out in the afternoon. ^_^ 5. Everyone works in the hotel is so attentive to cleanliness. Even the housekeepers are friendly.

None at all. I have stayed in more than 14 hotels just this year 2023. I have given positive and negative reviews to some hotels. As for this one, I can't think of one. Perhaps it will be great if the hotel can have a laundromat room in the hotel for guests stay for many days (like us). I spoke to the management, and they are aware of it. Due to their small premise, they provide laundry service instead. They do have a swimming pool, that I guess good for family with kids. It's not a huge issue as there is a close by laundromat that I can drive to (about 5 min away) and drop our laundry for cleaning. This, however, is not something I don't like. This is a fabulous hotel! Clean, strategic location, friendly and professional management, and staff. Breakfast that fills the guests up. Cookies anytime of the day. Coffee/tea too. No complains at all!

Tolle Unterkunft mit super Lage und gutem Frühstück (für amerikanische Verhältnisse)

Tolle Unterkunft. Ausstattung ist super und die Lage ebenfalls total gut. Man geht nur fünf Minuten bis zum Hafen und Strand. Frühstück für amerikanische Verhältnisse top. Man darf keinen Käse oder so erwarten, aber es gab frische Früchte, Obst, Granola und eben das übliche. Personal war sehr, sehr freundlich. Ich habe mich rundum wohl gefühlt.

Da gibt es nichts.

I love the place and highly recommended to other!

The breakfast was excellent in variety for all age group! I was impressed by the yummy pastries and the coffee maker! Staff were friendly and helpful!

I didn’t like the toilet paper choice! It was rough and easily breakable. Water from the machine had a funny taste to me ( maybe just my taste).

It’s a pity we couldn’t stay longer and enjoy The Spanish Fiesta

We liked the town and the location of the hotel. Check-in was smooth. Staff was friendly:-) We were surprised by the choice of complimentary breakfast! For a change not only muffins or bars at breakfast buffet : -) but tasty(!) coffee, scrambled eggs, flakes, bread, butter, jam, Philadelphia cheese, fruit… 👍 Room was comfortable and clean. So did beds👍

Pool size and area near it. No shelter/shade, no plants… Really poor comparing to other Inn’s on the same or nearby streets

Great, spacious room. Clean. Good breakfast. Good location.

Toilet was blocked and we had to repair it ourselves in the evening. No staff willing to use the pump. Breakfast was served by using provisory paper plates, cups, etc. So much trash because of that. But I guess that's in most motels in California.

Amazing staff, modern hotel and great location

The staff was amazing especially Jose. Such a welcoming funny person. We got free cookies upon arrival. The room was modern und spacious and the bed very comfortable. The shower had the right pressure. Next morning was a breakfast buffet with everything you need ( scrambled eggs, waffles, bacon, different juices, bread, cupcakes etc). We got offered to leave our luggage safely with them when we checked out because we had some time to spend on the City before our departure. When we left we even got offered bottled water for free for our way.

Overall it's okay.

The staff was quite friendly. Newly renovated and clean hotel.

I asked for the highest floor like the first 2 times we stayed in, but this time i got the 2nd floor. Could hear footsteps above us. Scramble eggs were dried. Please replenish green tea bags.

close to a 7 eleven/ about 10 minutes from state street/ they only offered limited amounts of parking so we took

it was clean

they were doing construction and did not tell us until we arrived and could no longer stay anywhere else. Out room was right next to the construction area also and the power drills were very loud. one morning they shut the water off for 3 hours and to make it worse they did it earlier than notified.

Staff was friendly and very accommodating.

Breakfast was good

There was a lot of construction going on. Kind of messy and difficult to park during that. Also somewhat noisy. It would’ve been nice to have had an adjustment on the room rate because of that. We booked our stay well in advance and had no idea that remodeling was happening.

It was a disappointing experience that could easily have been a great one.

It was centrally located to transportation, the beach, restaurants and shopping. The room was comfortable with a very nice shower. The staff at the front desk on the day we checked out was very friendly and helpful. They worked hard to overcome the difficulties we had when we checked in. It would have been nice to get the same level of service when we checked in.

The staff at the front desk when we checked in was dismissive and unhelpful. We were given a small room on the 2nd floor right in front of the elevators and maintenance closet even though the hotel was not full. When we said the room was unacceptable, the manager reluctantly moved us one room over. We asked to be moved to the third floor but were told that was not possible. When we asked for a microwave, we were told we would have to ask to use the one in the lobby, though later the manager did bring one to our room. We found out when we checked out that we had actually been booked in a room on the third floor. We were aware of the construction in the parking lot beforehand, but not about the work being done on the higher floors. When walking out of the lobby, water fell on our heads (I hope it was just water). Even though we weren't right in front of the maintenance closet, we were only one door down and heard a lot of noise from there in the morning. If the staff had been more customer friendly when we checked in, we would have overlooked the construction inconvenience.
