Top Santa Barbara Historical Museum Hotel Reviews

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Upon arrival, we were greeted by Mickey at check-in. He was incredibly helpful, offering dining suggestions and providing a general orientation to the area. He was so personable and friendly, which made a great start to our stay. The room was large and very clean. The beds were comfortable. We used the pool/hot tub, and both were well-maintained and clean, as was the general pool area. Pool towels are available. The complimentary breakfast was a nice extra - nothing fancy, but certainly enough to get the day started. The property was well-maintained and fairly centrally located. There were benches outside each room and nice plants/greenery throughout the center of the property. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again and would recommend the property to others."

Casa Riviera

8/10 Good

"The unit was very nice and in a great location. The bed was comfortable and amenities were great. Had some trouble with the smart tv and one must be knowledgeable with the use of technology/YouTube to find directions for help. The staff tried to help, but wasn’t successful. Same with the Espresso machine. I was not familiar with it. It would have been nice if there was a dresser or more deeper drawers to place clothing and a place to put things other than on top of the table or kitchenette counter space. We stayed several days and made do. Another recommendation would be for a small stool or chair in the bathroom for clothing to rest while showering. Just a suggestion as overall the place was good. Thank you to the kind staff online as well as on the premises. They were great!"

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

6/10 Okay

"A beautiful property but the rooms are dated, especially the bathrooms. It have stayed here many times but this time I saw a very obvious drop in the quality of service — from the house keeping, waiters and hostesses. You go to a property like this to be surrounded by the est and the staff and as mostly different. Maybe just overwhelmed? For the prices they charge, I’d expect more like the level they have provided in the past."

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, location was great. There are more homeless around SB than before and there was one vagrant that came to the hotel in the middle of the night. That was scary but the police finally removed them. So, a really good hotel to stay in on so many level, location, breakfast and staff and price. Like I said, great location as a primary reason to stay but I would ask for the after hours number, there is one but it is not posted."

Drift Santa Barbara, a Member of Design Hotels

6/10 Okay

"The hotel was very clean, smelled great, and all the staff were very nice. However, the rooms on the first floor were different than what was shown in the pictures and was misleading. The room did not have a balcony and barely had a window. It was laughable how much this felt like an upscale jail cell. I went back to look at the size because it was tiny, it’s just over 100 sq ft. It made me feel claustrophobic and there wasn’t a ton of privacy with the bathroom area."

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"Starting with check in, Jeremiah and everyone was so welcoming. The check in process was very quick and easy. The room was very clean. Bed was on the softer side, which I loved and the pillows were great not too soft not to firm. There are plenty of amenities included in the stay, wishing I got to stay just a little longer to enjoy everything the Milo has to offer. Oh yes and the guys at the valet 10/10."
