Great place to stay!

Great place to stay the view of the ocean and mountains is breathtaking! Close to plenty of places to eat definitely a must stay if you’re in Santa Barbara.
Paul, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great overall stay. Great location with friendly staff. Having to pay for parking and the size of the room was our only areas of improvement. Other than that we enjoyed our stay at Milo.
Angel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing Stay

The hotel is across the street from the beach! Walking distance to dining. Walking distance to the Marina and Shopping. The decor was tastefully designed and we loved the old Santa Barbara style. Quiet

Great stay and great location.
Stefani, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was large and comfortable but neded maintenance. A window was cracked, the overhead light did not work and the shower needed some updating including grab bars. I thought requiring valet parking at $32/night was a bit much. The outside fireplaces were very nice as was the patio seating. The music over the weekend was lovely.
Michael, 3-night trip

Hotel Milo is across the street from the ocean. A few minutes walk to Stearns Wharf and State Street. Jeannines’s is an excellent breakfast cafe located on the corner. Ask for a room with an ocean view or garden view. We had an alley view where the valet parks, etc. There is construction — so make sure you get a quiet area. Our room was nosy early in the morning.
