"This hotel is transitioning ownership from Motel 6 to vagabond Inn. It is a super nice property and I imagine it is the best dollar value for the area by far. We needed a place to stay for an early morning commitment in Santa Barbara. The cheapest thing we could find in Santa Barbara was a hostel stay and that hostel stay would have been more expensive, way less private, And way louder. Very happy with this. Highly recommend."

"The cabin we had was wonderful. Kitchen was stocked so well. It was clean and pleasant. However, if you advertise a restaurant and you are 17 MILES away from everything, that advertised restaurant better be open. We were panicked when the restaurant had not been open for over 1.5 years!!! The thought of going back 17 miles on a country road after driving over 5 hours was a deal breaker. Although staff was super and helped us find some food in the little convenience store (which closed at...

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property! Thank you the wonderful customer service!"

Riviera Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is amazing! From Nyah at the front desk to the manager, Nicole, everyone was super kind and authentic. The hotel is very clean and even smells good. You need to use valet for parking on premises. The rooms are small, but efficient and cozy. The small outdoor patio is a nice extension to the room. And, it only a short 5-min walk to the beach and restaurants!!!"

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

6/10 Okay

"Not a great location. Too close to interstate so air is polluted and it’s noisy. Interior design and choice of colors is distressing. Grey,dark red ,dark wood tones which makes everything look unclean and unhappy. Needs a refresh to get a recommendation Nice interior courtyard but something about the property was off and uninspiring. "
