Great choice.
Updated rooms. Very nicely renovated, great finishing, nothing needed to be fixed etc in our room, everything worked! Good lighting. Subtle night light in bathroom. Breakfast was great. Cooked, fresh food. Cookies and water availability was a nice touch. Staff were very polite.

This was a wonderful place to stay. The room was perfectly laid out for an adult couple with everything we needed. Easy walk in shower, no stupid bathtub or shower curtain to deal with. Breakfast was perfect and served til 10. Nicest staff I’ve ever met at this nice small hotel.

A night in Santa Barbara
The reception was friendly, the room was clean and comfortable and the included breakfast was very nicely done. All in all our single night in Santa Barbara at the Avania Inn was pleasant enough to suggest we should stay longer on our next trip to the West coast.

Already Planning our Next Stay Here!
We had an amazing stay at the Avania Inn. They were very helpful, let us check in early and the room was spacious, clean and comfortable. We stayed 4 days and wished we could have stayed longer! Next time we will have to check out the pool and hot tub. We are already planning our next stay at the Avania Inn.

Kind of a dump
Just a dressed up dump. Cheap everything, smallest toilet we'd ever seen, sandpaper towels and hard beds, etc. You wouldn't mind if it wasn't so expensive, but at $400/night I expect better.

Ok place, terrible management
The room was clean (to start), the beds comfortable, decor was meh, jacuzzi dirty & the breakfast was fine. However, the first morning the toilet was gurgling. After a shower, the tub began to fill with disgusting waste. We told the front desk staff who said a supervisor would come while we were gone. Upon return a couple hours later, no one had been there. Then a housekeeper came with a plunger. I told the front desk staff the plunger would not solve the problem. She said they would take care if it. We left for several more hours & when we came back, the bathroom had been cleaned. However, after we used the toilet, putrid sewage filled the tub again! I had already emailed the GM & the supervisor with images of the issue. We spoke to a new front desk staff who came to look at the problem & called supervisor. We were offered his plunging services & a $100 credit as it was “too late” (4pm) to call a plumber. We said we couldn’t stay in a room with sewage and no facilities, he said there was nothing they could do. He called the supervisor back, who I was told I was not allowed to speak to, and we were offered a refund for the 2nd night. We were 300 miles from home, so we asked for help to find another hotel. After 1 hour of not finding a vacancy, a plumber came. It got fixed, but was dirty. The staff spent maybe 30 seconds to wipe it down. It wasn’t clean! It felt as if we were a bother. We never received an apology from anyone & never heard from mgmt; they gave us 1/3 refund.
After they “fixed” the problem with the plunger.

Location and price were right but there was a constant musty odor to the room which made it uncomfortable. Because of that, I wanted to leave the slider open but there was no screen. Patio was not at all inviting to sit out on, very stark.
