I really enjoyed the old spanish-style feel of the architecture. The property is very well maintained and had a pool and other exterior areas to relax with fire pits and lights. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable. Convenient to charge any snacks to your room.

I am traveling to San Francisco, only a one night stay, but wanted to stop and enjoy the Santa Barbara area. I arrived a bit later than expected, and was worried I would not be able to get a room. I was met by the kindest young ladies at the front desk, and they found me a great place to take in the sites. Room 252 has a great view of the ocean and pier. Super quaint and very charming. The room feels like a bed and breakfast. Wood floors, king bed flat screen and kept very clean and comfortable bed for sure. The best part, outside of the location was the interaction with their staff. Pointing out places to eat and take in some live music. Smiles along the way. I called my wife directly and said… I found such a gem. I highly recommend the Milo. Thanks for making my stay so nice everyone ☺️

Hotel Milo is super cute but the rooms are super small and feel very dated and a bit shabby. The walls are also very thin and you can hear everything.

The photos of the property looked great, however upon actually staying at the property was very disappointing. The room was dirty, floors were not clean, walls had make on them, bathroom tile had dirt/scum on them, and the beds were super old and uncomfortable. The only staff who were actually friendly and outgoing were the Valet’s. I definitely won’t stay here again and I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
