Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good
"We chose this hotel because it is within very close walking distance of the beach and pier. The hotel has plenty of parking, is very clean and well-kept, and the staff is helpful and friendly. The free morning breakfast includes pastries, yogurt, waffles, juice, tea, coffee and fruits, among other things. The rooms are spacious and just fine except for two things. To control the temperature you have to use a remote and point it at the air conditioner. We had to ask the attendant to explain how to use the remote because it is not user friendly. The other issue is that you can't get Netflix via the tv unless you use your hotspot, and the internet is not great. For the price we paid I feel that there should not have been any problems."
