Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Milo Santa Barbara

The hotel, overall, was wonderful. The location was perfect , the staff was friendly, and the facility was clean. The one negative was the on location restaurant, Chads. We used to go there when it was Sambos and we loved it. When we went to Chad's, the serving staff was so unattentive. We were skipped over several times, so that the staff could help other folks who arrived later. The person next to me was complaining about the quality of his breakfast and the rest of the folks didn't have food and looked like they had been waiting for a while. The only good thing about it, was that it forced us to walk a couple of blocks to Jeanine's, a wonderful breakfast spot.

We have always loved This property throughout all the changes of ownership, We stayed one night (a Monday) on our way to see our daughter. Our room was on the first floor behind a bush with a view of nothing. That actually would have been fine as we love to walk and get outside, but the reality is that I am paying the same amount as second story with a view of possibly the ocean or even a parking lot. We will not stay here again. The amount of money for that room on a Monday was not in line with my expectations. We will focus on a new city with so much to offer.

You can hear every little sound from your room…updtairs, next door, from the pool, etc. wouldn’t stay again too hard to sleep. It’s a great location if you’re not a light sleeper. The bed was average, not good but not bad.

Great location with lots of dining options within a short walk. Beautiful view from the common meeting areas near the front of the hotel and the lobby is very welcoming. Rooms were a good size with lots of natural light. There was problem with the hot water in the bathroom. The water was only lukewarm at best which was unpleasant.

I like everything about this place, including the staff, cleanliness, and location. Thank you, Milo, for another excellent stay. Sugie Brookman

Great location and customer service

We liked how close this motel was to the beach and that they offered free bike rentals

Great location very clean. Really outdated.

The hotel staff is excellent. It’s old but right on the ocean. Very affordable for its location & you can’t beat Santa Barbara.

The parking situation is unclear, the bed was extremely uncomfortable, felt as if the bedspring was stabbing my back and the rooms could have had a better touch felt like a “flip property “

The staff was helpful and friendly. The view of the ocean from our room was gorgeous. We loved the convenience of the beach. Next time we will get a room with a "balcony". While we felt safe in our room it was a little disconcerting to have people walking by our window less than a foot away.

We have been coming to this hotel for many years and it was the first time we experienced unmaintained facilities, disappointing.

When was Excellent in the crew and the grounds people and the front desk staff were superb

Great hotel, great location, great staff!

Great staff, great location, great rooms, 10/10 would recommend.

The pictures they advertise DO NOT reflect the actual stay. It was giving “we remodeled 1 room of each type and took pictures but didn’t bother to put that quality into the rest”. Our bathroom was tiny, had a half, A HALF, of a sliding glass door so it was cold while you showered, the main light switch in our room did god knows what cause it didn’t turn a light on and the light in our bunk bed “room” aka closet was more like a strobe light. The place was dingy and dirty. The bathroom mirror was half painted like the painter just got bored and walked away! I swear half was the theme for this room. For what it cost, it is NOT worth it. We left early and noticed several others come up to complain about similar issues.

Beautifulllllll stay!!

We liked the close proximity to the water, walking trails and restaurants.

It was close to pier that has good resaurants. Close to beach. And can get room away from busy street so it is quiet. Has restaurant next door for takeout breakfast. Coffee maker and refridge in room. No elevator but valet will take luggage to room. Like that is an older building that has been updated. Has class.

Run down room, bathroom was unacceptable. Paid way too much for a room desperately in need of renovation.
