Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

Everything was great, except the eggs on the breakfast were microwave and the sausage as well.

Wonderful staff, comfortable large room, and close proximity to the beach and pier. We come here every year, trying out various hotels. This place...a winner for our needs.

Nice hotel, newly nenovated, clean, fresh room. Friendly srrvice. Jacob the GM was awesome!

Location is fantastic. Walking distance to all the spots we wanted to go - beach, harbor, wharf and downtown - perfect. Building and rooms are typical of motel style, nothing fancy, but very clean, modern and had the basic amenities we were looking for (fridge, microwave, coffee/continental breakfast, free parking). Plus the staff was very friendly and accommodating! Cons for us: the tub wouldn't hold water for a bath and then wouldn't drain while showering. Beds were too firm for us adults (my daughter did fine). And, someone smoking in a room near us (non-smoking property!) - but as soon as we told management about the smoking, they were on it!

Great service, and best off all within walking distance of State St. and the beach.
