The room was antiquated and definitely needs a rehab and freshen up. The reefer was so noisy we had to unplug it to get any sleep. The drapes did not close properly for privacy becuase they were broken. Very small room for the price. No continental breakfast offered, not even bread or baked goods.

The location was right by the beach. Excellent views. The staff was friendly as well and the valet parking was easy to use.

Small dark room. This was more of a motel than a hotel but you are paying hotel prices.

Great location.

Shame no breakfast included - but not really a negative just something which would have made it perfect!

Gorgeous room, bed amazingly comfortable. Right on the sea front by the boardwalk Love the little shop and the free hot chocolate before bed, and the guitarist who plays on a Saturday and Friday in the front desk lobby, makes it feel homely.

There was no microwave in our room, and our tv wouldn’t connect to WI-FI so we were kind of stuck watching whatever was on cable. Also the bed was not comfortable at all and I’m pretty good at sleeping on uncomfy beds, this one just wasn’t it to be honest.

The location was amazing, I really enjoyed the overall vibe of the rooms. It might be outdated to some but I found it quite charming. Everything was very clean and the staff was impeccable, would definitely book again

The hotel rooms have very thin walls so we could hear people talking in the adjacent rooms. There was also street noise because the hotel is on a pretty busy street. Valet parking is hectic and expensive and some of the street parking is actually more convenient. I paid for an ocean view room, but it was just a view out the window with no balcony or patio to sit and enjoy the view. Bathroom needs an update.

Really like the location. We were able to walk to the main street of Santa Barbara to shops, restaurants, cafe's and thrift stores. It's also right across the street from the beach and pier.

1.) The floor was disgusting - filthy. 2.) We were shocked at the price of valet parking. The cost of parking - plus the tip to get the car every time you need it. Very inconvenient and the costs really adds up! 2.) It was sad that parents of 3 little girls allowed them to run around the complex screaming at 8am. Thats a bit early for others who are on vacation to relax. It went on for almost an hour - even when I went outside and asked that they stop - the kids kept running up and down the stairs all around upstairs screaming. Lots of fun for them - not for the guests. This is not a knock on the hotel - by the time they got to the parents, they were getting ready to depart for breakfast. It would be great if families with kids were in buildings separate from adult only guests. Hotel Milo is huge - they could easily do this and meet all guests needs!

We had a 2nd floor with ocean view - it was lovely! It was great that our pup was welcomed. The location was great - with lots of very good restaurants nearby. The grounds were beautiful!

If we had to get our keys fixed to get into the room it was a really far walk from the pool to the lobby and you had to walk outside along the street.

Super cute and clean!! Right across the street from the water.

We didn't like having our room right in front of the pool , we can hear everyone until 10pm. Suggestion, maybe only put people over in that area that travel with children. One of the days our room didn't get cleaned, we had to ask for more towels, cups and creamer for coffee.

I liked how close to the beach the hotel is, I liked the firepits out front of hotel , we sat out there on our last evening. I would like an upstairs room next time we visit and not so close to the pool where we hear everything. I liked that we could get beach chairs from hotel and sit on the beach. We always like eating at Chad's cafe.

Rooms were a little small, but worked out well anyway

Great location and such a cute vibe

The room was a bit dated, and had thin walls, so it was easy to hear your neighbors, and made us feel bad for others when our 6 month old would cry at night.

Hotel Milo's location made it easy to walk to the beach and all of the shops and restaurants around State Street.

It was more expensive than other hotels in other cities around, but it is the regular price on Santa Barbara.

The location is great at the beach and they offer bicycles for use. The room was very clean and confortable. Staff was very friendly.

Beds were very uncomfortable & as we were above the garages that stored gardening products it was extremely noisy early in the morning. In what was ment to be a relaxing holiday it was very disappointing.

Location, cleanliness & staff were friendly & helpful…

Families with kids were very noisy both days, I know it wasn't the hotels fault but they were rude. Maybe the hotel can communicate to families better, to keep the noise down before 8 am.

Hotel staff was very helpful and pleasant, I asked for an early check in and they were able to accommodate me. Beds were comfortable! Great location right in the middle of the marina and the pier and easy walk to restaurants.

We got ocean view room, but we didn’t open the curtains at all because everyone could see us (( The window was on the walkway… I think it is not fair to charge extra for that room because of the view…

Service and lack of a bar/restaurant.

The place is on a busy road made up of lots of small houses. I had to walk through a garden to get to my unit which was at the back by another back road, that was being used by a family who had two dogs who were frightening. Every time I walked out they were there looking at me. The facilities were minimal. No restaurant, no bar. The reception staff were unhelpful once they knew I had booked through booking.com. My phone did not work so I could not call down to find anything out. The room was tired with an air conditioner from the 80s that sounded like an aeroplane in the room. The Italian restaurant nearby was good as was the old fashioned cafe. But the place felt tired and in need of a facelift.

The bed and pillows were the only con. So uncomfortable otherwise a truly perfect stay.

Loved the location so so much! There were also so many great outdoor spaces to lounge throughout the property. Pool was great and bikes available was a great touch!
