Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good
"The property was as described, clean, very nice rooms. Was it worth over $400 per night- no, but that’s pretty typical of SB. Great location near the harbor, walkable to west beach, downtown, funk zone, etc. Hot tub was a great bonus."

Lemon Tree Inn

Lemon Tree Inn

8/10 Good
"We stayed in Room 335 and it was great. The room was clean and large. The beds were comfortable. The TV and AC both worked and so did the fridge. I liked the walk-in shower. We had a nice enclosed balcony that overlooked the pool and garden. We weren't impressed with the Crocodile Restaurant. The food was overpriced and the staff seemed disinterested. A beer and a cocktail cost $30.00! I would stay here again, but would eat elsewhere."
