Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was very nice and in a great location to be able to do many things within walking distance. The room was clean and had a lovely vibe to it! The hotel staff was very kind and helpful. Booking, check in and check out were all easy and convenient processes. The complimentary breakfast was great and of course the waffle maker was a big hit. "
