Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"Very good experience at this hotel. Great location.. walking distance to the beach and some good restaurants. Hotel is across the street from a park, so there were a few unsavory people hanging around from time to time but left us alone. Our room was a great size for my wife and I and had a nice balcony facing the parking lot. The hotel really needs to reconsider its bathroom design, as the shower only had half a door, so water goes everywhere on the floor. The AC also ran all day, so, while it was comfortably cool in the room, it was also very humid. The staff was great.. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly."
