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.

Luisa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not worth the nughtly cost

When we checked in, we received no real details about any amenities. Nothing about s'mores or the fire pit. Nothing about the bistro that appeared closed. The room was TINY. Nothing about this hotel seemed worth the price of the room. The view and location was nice.
Julia, 1-night trip

Great dig friendly resort with fire tables, pools, and a great park for dogs to play.
geoffery, 2-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

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful hotel and very clean. The mini fridge made weird ghost noises which freaked out the kids at night… but overall it was such a nice Santa Barbara visit.

Clara, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall good stay at this property. It’s pet freindly lots of space for our puppy. Location is excellent. Amenities like the pool and the fitness center are great. However some areas like the room and surrounding areas could use some renovation a bit run down.
Gali, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
