The furniture in the guestroom features materials such as rattan, wicker, and bamboo, hinting at the colonial origins of the city. With the redesign, the guestrooms were given a signature blue and white palette, reflecting the brilliance of the ocean and sky, and serving as subtle reference to the Mediterranean, which Santa Barbara is so often compared to.
HOTEL MILO FULL
Renamed after Milo Potter, the city's first true hotelier, pivotal to the development of Santa Barbara as a city, it was then that the hotel began its commitment to relating to the local community and continues today to make these connections, most recently through the design aesthetic of the hotel.In 2016, HHM embarked on a full redesign of the guestrooms and common areas. Great location, ideal for not having to drive around everywhere - and perfect if you need to walk your dog and get dinner, with State Street so close.The 122-room oceanfront Santa Barbara property went under new ownership and management in 2014, when it adopted a new name as a nod to Santa Barbara history. The staff was super friendly, always going to get treats for our doggo while we were sipping wine outside or waiting for our car from the valet. They have a board with all the dog-guest names, treats out in the lobby at all times and even sell treats if you forgot to pack some for your pooch. Dogs are allowed in the lobby (where there’s nightly wine tasting), the lawns, the patios, the rooms, the pool (but not in it, of course), basically everywhere. They have firepits and a lot of outside seating so you can lounge around the grounds vs being in your room if you’re just relaxing for a bit. There’s a nice lawn area outside of the office where there’s always dogs playing. The hotel is cute, in Spanish style buildings. Directly across the street from West Beach, short walk from East Beach, great location, nice views of the water and beach. The hotel is walking distance to the Wharf, State Street and the Funk Zone, basically walking distance to all the shopping, dining, wine tasting you could want. Very dog friendly and great hotel in great location In the future, we will be staying at our tried and true inns just half a block away with better customer service/amenities for the price.
Perhaps this is a result of the pandemic and cost-cutting, but this in did not provide either (with higher costs than we are used to paying, I might add). We are used to being provided complimentary wine/cheese in the evening and continental breakfast. We have stayed at several inns within the area for several years, but this was our first time at this inn. Noise carries from upper rooms to lower rooms, so I suggest you book an upper unit if possible. The room we had (Room 108) was very dark, bathroom small with very limited counter/storage space. Valet service only for $30 a day or you can park in neighborhood (which we did) as their valet had walked away/could not be found at check in and street parking behind hotel easy. It started when we checked in - front desk clerk seemed tired/wasn't friendly at all. CONS: for the price we expected better amenities and service. Pros: great location across the street from the beach, outside fire pits lit in the evening.
Just checked out today with our family (room with 2 queen beds).
