Top Cielito Hotel Reviews

Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly, professional staff. Easy check in and out. Very nice room. Clean and nicely decorated. Comfy bed, good strong shower. The only issue we had was the air conditioner was pretty noisy. Cooled just fine but woke me up when it turned on and off."

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"We've stayed at Avania Inn at least a couple of times and really enjoy it here. This last stay was a bit more eventful for us as we got in extremely late. Communicated with Glory who was really accommodating in checking us in way after hours. Katy the next morning was really helpful in straightening out reservations. Their continental breakfast is just enough to help get the day started and the rooms have always been clean and spacious. Definitely recommend and will be back!"

The Milo

8/10 Good

"Near the ocean but no view from our room. The advertisement is deceptive. Only a few room have a ocean view. When I inquired about it we were told it was Expedia's issue. All I know is on solution was offered. Other than the view it's a nice property. Walking distance to restaurants, beach and pier. Only valet parking $40 per night. Others got amenities i.e. wine that wasn't available through Expedia booking."

The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The Leta was absolutely splendid. The room was so spacious and beautifully decorated. We sat at the Bar for hours. We enjoyed fantastic craft cocktails, savory appetizers and enjoyed a live performance from a talented singer songwriter. The ambience was perfect - we sat outside under twinkle lights near the beautiful sparkling pool. Can't wait to return."
