The hype
Guests adore the 'California dreaming' aesthetic and the ability to walk everywhere, but often feel the room rates are high for the level of soundproofing.
Hotel Milo Santa Barbara
$250-450 / malam
Pesan ini jika You want a laid-back, pet-friendly home base directly across from the beach that feels more like a wealthy friend's guest house than a corporate hotel.
Mengapa Orang Menyukainya
- Unbeatable location directly across from West Beach and Stearns Wharf
- Quintessential Spanish-Colonial architecture with lush, flower-filled courtyards
- Very dog-friendly policy with treats and grassy relief areas
Ringkasan Cepat: A charming, photogenic boutique hotel that relies heavily on its killer location to distract you from the thin walls and sometimes 'cozy' (read: small) rooms.
Ditinjau oleh @Unalatinainlondon: I stayed here during my California road trip and fell in love with the location. My room looked right out onto the ocean and Stearns Wharf. It's super breezy and the Spanish architecture makes it feel like a real getaway.
