Hotel Milo Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara

I don't really understand why the review scores aren't higher for this hotel. The accommodations are not over the top fancy or anything, but well within a 3.5-4 star class of hotel, and an incredible value when you consider the location. Any perceived shortcomings are more than made up here, the hotel is right across from the ocean, easily walkable to all the shops and dining of State Street. The grounds also are incredibly beautiful and lush, with a park nestled between 2 of the buildings. A very dreamy experience to stay here, I hope to return some day.

Great location, not a great hotel for the price.

Good location No parking, forced to valet for additional $30 a day Hotel is serviceable, but small and outdated for the price.

We love Hotel Milo and are repeat guests because of the friendly service and great location. The hotel is old and charming with ambiance to match its character. However, with the addition of the resort fee this year, we expected a little bit extra for the cost. The room lacked some basic stock items (extra towels and TP) and the decor is looking a little more worn than charming. All in all, we still love Hotel Milo but want to be sure it remains as nice as we’ve always known it to be.

Our stay was lovely from start to finish. From wine tasting, to bike riding to breakfast on the patio we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. The bed was comfortable and the family suite was well laid out. The staff was so attentive too. A perfect place to stay!
