Top Santa Barbara Bowl Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here for my birthday with my hubby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was great not too far from the beach. The staff was very nice and friendly. The room was nice. The stars of the show were the bed and the shower. The bed was so comfortable that I couldn’t even get out of it the next day. I literally had to call to the front desk and pay for extra time because it was so comfortable. The shower oh my gosh! The water pressure was so amazing. I don’t know what was in his water, but it felt like moisturizer was coming directly from the spout. We got out of the shower, and our skin was so soft and nourished. I would absolutely stay here again."

"Staff was friendly. Room was dated but kept clean. Some spiders and ants seen in the room. A faint smell of cigarettes. Great location.2 miles to the wharf. Under a mile to the mission but the walk in an uphill. Free parking. Natural lighting was limited due to window type. The pool was clean and about 8ft."
