Top Eastside Hotel Reviews

Hotel Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Our stay was only for 1 night, but the room was very comfortable. The staff was very helpful with their knowledge of the area restaurants."

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at The Milo was incredible! There are many buildings that make up this property, which gave it a unique, more personal feel. The rooms were smaller, but nicely appointed. The pools are nice and heated (when needed). The location is amazing, right on the Pacific Ocean and walking distance to the heart of Santa Barbara. One of my favorite things was the use of beach cruiser bikes, for free! It was great to check out a bike and cruise around town. All of the employees were exceptionally kind, friendly, and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel!"

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a nice hotel that is close to the beach, the pier, stores and several excellent restaurants. The king bed was very comfortable, but the chairs were uncomfortable and the counter space was small. The air conditioning was noisy and turned on and off during the night. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good with waffles, eggs bacon and sausage, bagels, pastries and muffins. The balcony is really a small patio enclosed by a five foot fence with a small table and two chairs. Overall, it is a good place to stay."
