From the moment we arrived we were treated like one of the family. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The ranch is amazing with lovely horses and character touches fitting with the ranch lifestyle. The meals were delicious and wholesome served with a smile. They even put a bottle of wine in our room for my 60th birthday. The jacuzzi was just what we needed after a great horse ride. Love this place

    My husband and I spent our honeymoon week in SB at the hotel Milo and we had the best time! The whole stay exceeded all of our expectations! They gave us two complimentary bottles of champagnes and chocolates ans set up towel swans and roses on the bed! So sweet. We loved everything from the snacks and drinks at front desk to the location. We loved the bikes provided and rode around town using them all week. The valet boys were super Sweet and helpful everyday with recommendations and advice about where to eat and hang out around SB. We will 100% be back again soon! Thank you!

    As hoteliers/restaurateurs, we have a different and sometimes stricter perspective than others. I can only congratulate the hotelier here. We had room 320 and were completely satisfied. What a great room and the service was always unobtrusively nice and courteous. We have traveled halfway around the world but rarely have we stayed in such a great hotel. Congratulations! As there was not a hair in the soup to be found, we can wholeheartedly give a full score here...🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

    While the location is good, guests should be aware of traffic noise. Room did supply earplugs and "white noise" machine but not expected at $400+ per night. Bed and pillows are way to soft. Of course I am 4 years older now.

    We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

    Easy walk from Motel 6 on Carpinteria Street to restaurants and the beach. "The Spot" for burgers! Little Dom's for fancy feed. I walked my doggie in her stroller. Grocery store two blocks down the street. Not fancy digs. Just PEACE and QUIET. Nice pool too.

    When I visit my daughter and grandson in Santa Barbara, I like to have my privacy so I stay here. The dog and i can walk to the beach boardwalk in 20 minutes. There's the tasty burger shack where we share! There are bathrooms. On the way to the beach you will find restaurants and shops. The old doggie is in a nice-sized stroller, so we can bring back goodies. Right next door to the Motel 6 on Carpenteria Street is a grocery store, dollar-type store, and Goodwill too! Have fun!
