The hotel is right across the street from the beach, but the room only provided a peek-a-boo view. The price was right. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Walking distance from the pier. Room and grounds were clean. More

Stayed a couple nights on business. I was upgraded to a bigger room ovelooking the garden. Relatively well appointed room for it's class hotel. Great location by the beach. Nice breakfast spread and dining room overlooking the beach. More

This hotel has the potential to be a fabulous property. An attractive facade, attempts at customer service, and relatively comfortable rooms anchor this property. However there were a number of concerns during my stay. 1. A disturbance by drunken guests from midnight to 2AM. No apologies. I requested a room change if the guests did not check out and was...

My wife and I stayed here one night. The staff is helpful and efficient while the rooms have all been updated nicely. Right on the beach, nice open grounds, and a good breakfast layout in a bright sunny room. More

We stayed at Hotel Oceana on a Trip Advisers special and were extremely pleased. The hotel is a combination of older properties situated right across from the beach in Santa Barbara, a great location. The hotel was remodelled but has stayed with the basic structure. There are many different kinds of rooms spread over a large area of grounds and... More
