Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms clean comfortable. The staff were awesome. Friendly property is being remodeled in sequence. So there was some morning noise from that. Location is great. We’ll keep this one in my favorites."

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

2/10 Terrible

"We stayed here and there was blood , eye liner , and hair on the sheets. As well the room smelled pretty bad like rotten eggs. Also there was no conditioner amongst other things. Not including the homeless people outside your balcony fighting and acting like zombies at 3:00 am. We reached out to " Jacob " One of the managers and all that was done was he gave us a $40 off refund. Not worth this stay at all when you are spending over $200 for a one night stay. Not safe for children and just not a great experience."
