Great experience
Avania was cute, clean and smelled good. The service was great, everyone was kind and helpful. I expected the continental breakfast to be bagels and fruit. It was that but so much more. I loved this place. Stayed here for me wedding and so did my family. They loved it too! We would definitely stay here again and recommend!

Though one would think of this as a motel type property, this property was much better. The rooms were very clean and well equipped. The breakfast was good and replenished often. The staff were attentive and kind. Will recommend for anyone looking for a well located hotel.

Everything about this hotel was great, the only thing that did bother me is that there was hair on some towels as well as the bed and there were little pieces of trash on the floor. Besides that the hotel itself was really nice and the staff was nice.

Totally plan to stay here AGAIN.
Pre-trip phone calls were answered cheerfully and very helpfully by the local staff. Upon arrival, Huy greeted us with a sweet smile and was helpful as can be. The hotel does have an elevator for its 3 floors. The hot tub and heated pool were working well. The beds were comfortable. Temperature control was not on the actual air conditioner, but on the wall next to the vanity area; it worked well. Bathroom was clean with liquid soaps provided. Large vanity area separate from shower/toilet room. I really prefer that! My adult daughter liked that the art decor in the room were all from local Santa Barbara scenes or history. The hotel is only 1 1/2 blocks from where the yacht harbor becomes beach. It's across from Pershing Park on Castillo. Breakfast was hot plain eggs, sausages, waffle maker, very tasty bakery danish in several flavors, hash brown patties, juices, tangerines, plus breads, yoghurts, and more. Jasmin Jamaru took good care of folks with a happy smile and good service.
