Looks like an old hotel that was updated recently - newish interior, updated bathrooms, beach style decor. Overall pleasant. “Balcony” room is kinds of a joke - tiny balcony overlooking the parking lot. No ocean view, not even a city view.

The location is close to everything that SB has to offer. Combine that with the great price and clean rooms and it's a great deal. Don't expect anything beyond that - there's no breakfast and one of the staff members was consistently rude, as if interacting with people is a burden.

Quick check-in, staff was friendly and efficient. Only negatives were our room TV had a screen going out, it had an annoying white dot with everything we watched. The hotel is literally a block from the hood, just south of the property, and numerous homeless hanging around. Luckily we had a 3rd floor room overlooking our vehicle, which we did check on, several times during our overnight stay. I'm assuming the reason for the key card access to each floors hallways, prior to reaching the room doors. Trying to keep the riff raff out. Cleanliness was on par, bedding sheets, pillows and comforter were thin and not very comfortable, as were the locker room towels.

This hotel was very nice, clean and updated. There were 2 reasons I did not give it a 5 star. First, the shower was extremely slippery. I needed to use a towel on the floor to keep from slipping. Also, from the pictures of the breakfast area it looked like a hot buffet type breakfast. In reality, doughnuts and waffles. It was fine but not what I felt was advertised by the photos. Otherwise, very nice stay.

My stay at Avania Inn of Santa Barbara was absolutely wonderful. The room was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. The staff was friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. I truly appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, comfortable bed, and great location close to everything. From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel.
