The rooms were clean and the location has some sketchy rooms near the corners of the property. The main lobby area is beautiful but unfortunatly the roof top area was closed and that was the reason we booked the property. The conscience and ambiance is general is beautiful.

Well, it’s conveniently located right in front of the beach, which is fantastic. Everything is within walking distance, so you can explore the area on foot or even use one of their bikes if you prefer. We had an ocean view room, which was adequate. Nothing extraordinary, but it served its purpose. Since we were only there for a single night, we didn’t spend much time in our room. 😅 The only thing that would have been a plus for me would have been a room service option, as walking back to the main lobby at 3 am was quite a trek. Apart from that, it was a great place. I would definitely stay again.

This was the prefect stay for us. We had four rooms booked and 16 of us staying for a special birthday trip.The hotel staff could not have been better. The hotel has just had a refit and the rooms are excellent - a proper boutique hotel feel to them. The location couldn't be better for Santa Barbara - right on beach and pier, and just round the corner from all the amenities on state street. We really recommend Hotel Milo.

Great location. Rooms needs to be updated badly bathroom tub old gringy, cracking. Furniture with fridge beat up. Bed not comfortable very small ocean front room. Fireplace did not ignite. Housekeeping slow would leave for the day come back at 3 or 4 pm no service for a couple of days. The lounge chairs by pool many were torn unusable they still put pool towels on them. Also the hot tub did not work for 2 days until I caught someone to have it checked out. It was heating but no jets working
