"Place is clean and well kept. I didn’t expect the junior sweet to be a full bedroom. But it was a full bed not a queen. The bed was not horrible, but it was also not comfortable as it was creaky and not very soft. Walls are very thin. You could hear every noise as well as conversations from other units."

"Perfect location, stress-free stay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a fantastic experience at the Avania Inn. The location is unbeatable—you are within walking distance to the beach and all the best food spots, so we barely needed the car. Speaking of the car, the parking is free and there was ample availability, which is a huge rarity in Santa Barbara! The staff were super lovely and welcoming. Check-in was a breeze; it was incredibly smooth with no surprise deposit hassles, just straight to the room. If you are looking for a convenient, friendly, and honest place to stay in Santa Barbara, I highly recommend booking here."
