Hotel Californian

Riviera Beach House
"This hotel was definitely 10/10. The cleanliness, the staff, the quality of customer service. I would definitely stay here again. The only thing was the room was small but for me on a solo date that was fine and that won’t lower my score. It’s also connected to a restaurant that has amazing food! ..."

Moxy Santa Barbara
"The staff was particularly informative. The location can’t be beat. There is no closet per se but they have knobs and cool leather handled hangers & a steamer. It worked well for me. Will come back!"
