Decided to head up to Santa Barbara on a day's notice; found it on Hotel dot com, but ended up making the reservation directly on the hotel's website. Great value; recently renovated, 1 block to the beach (sand). more

Driving down the pacfic coast and having such good experiences in the accommodation we stayed at on the way, the Avania Inn was a sharp contrast. The lady behind the counter was clearly hated her job and was extrem;ey rude. She must be the owner as there could be no way she coudl keep her job otherwise. We were given... more

Third time at this hotel and it's such a great find! New comfy beds, nice size room, flat screen TV, good shower, free internet, plenty of parking, good location around the corner 2 blocks from the main drag along the beach. Breakfast is better than many continentals out there. Nice staff. What more do you need? Oh, and a good... more

Despite some of the negative reviews of this hotel, I have to say my stay there with my boyfriend was great. Comfortable king size bed, quiet room despite the fact we were on the first floor. The room was quite nice and had great decor. Great having the beach less then a block away as well as State Street being... more

Our visit started badly with the astounding rudeness of the lady at reception (a frequent complaint by other reviewers) - no greeting or eye contact or any basic customer service skills - so I was quite negative from the beginning. We had requested a quiet room when I made the reservation but was instead given a room facing the street.... more

Our family had a delightful stay at the Avania Inn. The room was clean. The kids (and grownups) enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi. The staff was friendly and helpful. Everything worked. This is a basic, no frills motel in an excellent location, one block from the beach. priced way below nearby hotels. Parking is free and easy. If you are... more

Location is good but this is a one-star hotel with a three-star price. Looks like its been remodeled fairly recently but it was obviously very much on the cheap. Certainly not worth the price. more

Nice clean hotel that is very modern just like the photos show. Upon arrival the manager or owner was kind & upgraded us to a King suite room. Thank you! The nice thing is while it's not directly across the ocean the area is quiet in the evening. For anyone complaining about the price as I've seen some reviews and... more

We stayed 3 nights and loved every minute of it. The decor is modern and new. The balcony was refreshing. The complimentary breakfast was fun! Make your own mini waffles! The location was great for the price - two blocks to the water! We walked to State Street every day. My only regret is that we never had time for... more

The receptionist (who's most likely the owner) was rude. The employees seemed put out, probably because they're unhappy working there. The rooms look good in a photograph, but it's mostly superficial. The lobby, the halls, and every single room are painted in seafoam green and chipped-brown paint. The pool is small, hardly bigger than the jacuzzi, and the pool area... more
