This is a hotel located just across the street from the beach and it is very affordable! It has a retro charm - it's clean, quiet, and everything was comfortable. You can walk to restaurants and there is a heated pool! It doesn't have all the latest updates or a bunch of frills - but it is more than comfortable. Fans are included in each room and the rooms are very clean and comfortable.

The hotel location is a 10. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and we were able to upgrade to a nicer room. My only disappointment was the extra $50 per night in fees and the $33 per night parking charge when there was ample parking and we parked ourselves. This should definitely be included in the cost. We literally spent $80+per night extra than we expected.

We loved the old mission and spend a lot of time in the hotel.
I didn‘t like the pier. Everywhere were cars and parking lots instead of nice sitting opportunities. there were a lot of homeless people, too.

Santa Barbara was absolutely beautiful!!!
Santa Barbara was absolutely beautiful!!! It was really lush and green there! The wildflowers were blooming everywhere! The mountains and hills were super lush and green and very beautiful! The Botanical Gardens are incredible and are filled with poppies and wildflowers! The Mission, Courthouse, State Street, Stearns Wharf, and Alice Peck Park are all amazing places to visit! The weather was a perfect 73 degrees for most of my trip, until the last day. The people were all very nice and pleasant to deal with. Brophy's, at the Harbor has the best fish and chips that I have ever had!! There were some whales right off of the Harbor that I was privileged to see! There was also an awesome feeding frenzy that brought in hundreds of pelicans and cormorants to dive into the water at the same time!! It was phenomenal to watch. People who have lived in Santa Barbara all of their lives have never seen anything like it!!! It was an absolutely amazing trip!

We visited in February when unknown to us was the film festival, the weather was perfect, town seemed quiet even with film festival which was a bonus, still able to grab tickets. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, lots with outdoor eating with patio heaters. We enjoyed the SB Whale watching trip we did, small exclusive boat made us feel VIPs and saw plenty of humpback whales. Easy to walk around the town, but also easy to drive and explore neighbouring Montecito

Great place to visit, especially with wonderful weather.
Great place to visit, especially with wonderful weather.
For seafood, Lure is amazing!!! Chad's and Cajun Kitchen are great breakfast spots.
If you are there on Sunday, see the Art/Craft Market at the Beach. Lots of amazing stuff and all the vendors are so friendly.
Also, a huge recommendation to Olive Hill Farms in Los Olivos. Great place for oils and vinegars.
~ Beautiful and historic rooms in keeping with the house.
~ stunning gardens surrounding the property
~ Breakfast was fantastic - a 3 course meal with the main meal something different each day, cooked perfectly alongside fantastic service!
~ Lovely warm scones and cookies served in the afternoon and evening.
~ Complete with fantastic hour d’oeuvres served early evening which varied each day and all delicious
~ turn down service each night
~ relaxing place, quiet and peaceful
~ one of the best hotels in California!!
I stayed at this hotel last trip to Santa Barbara and came back because of the location, value, and comfortable stay. More Mesa is a fantastic place to run in the morning.
The staff were nice and trying their best within Covid precautions (and dealing with lots of complaining about the precautions).
The lagoon area is beautiful and it was fun watching the ducks, crane, and bunny! I guess sitting out here for wifi was worth it.
A really great location - only a few steps away from Santa Barbara Pier. Great rooms - although we had to check that our kid got the sofa bed as booked. Was done within 5 minutes.
Pool area was superb and well attended.
One of the best complementary breakfasts we had on the whole trip
What a pitty we only had 1 night for staying there planned in our round trip
location is perfect for a walkable Santa Barbara trip. Jeanine’s is next door with the best breakfast tacos I have ever tasted. Across the street from the wharf and front door is steps from State Street, where all the restaurants, shopping and action take place. Clean hotel that has been nicely updated with large rooms and a friendly staff. Great spot!
I loved the location! Just 10 minutes north of downtown Santa Barbara! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. They greeted us with a bottle of wine and a room upgrade for our anniversary! I also really appreciated how dog friendly they were. Awesome accommodations! Highly recommend! We will be back! Thank you, Leta Hotel!
The Jacobsons!
his hotel is in a great location - dead centre of Santa Barbara - lovely older style property in great condition and in keeping with the neighbourhood - bars, shops and restaurants all within a minute from the front door of the hotel - staff really friendly as well. Would recommend
There is no breakfast at Hotel Milo.
The room had a little balcony outside which was great for meeting up with friends before dinner.
The location is right on the beach a short walk to all restaurants shopping etc.
The pool and jacuzzi were great
Cool hotel, very cozy, clean. New plumbing, large comfortable room, huge balcony. The hotel team are great fellows! I really want to come back as soon as possible🤗, from Los Angeles (I'm already dreaming of Santa Barbara again, and Harbor view🤗🫶).
The room was lovely and bed very comfortable. I stayed there so I could see my daughter who was studying at UCSB. it was only a 20 minute drive to the university. Santa Barbara was amazing and the hotel was right on the coast overlooking the sea.
The location was perfect for getting to downtown Santa Barbara and the pier. It was so close to everything. But also not in too crowded of an area. It was nice to be able to drop in and rest in the middle of the day before heading back out.
Location near the beach is great. Easy access to everything Santa Barbara has to offer. Walk/bike to beach and restaurants. Compared to other nearby inns and motels, La Playa is newly refurbished and very stylish. Highly recommend!
The staff was very helpful and friendly. The apartments were a bit old but the rooms were clean and quite spacious. The best thing about this motel is its location, that is within walking distance to downtown Santa Barbara!
Everything was perfect! The staff was very friendly, the room was spacious and very comfortable, the shower had a good pressure and temperature the breakfast was good and the location near the beach was the best.
The rooms are huge and comfortable. The location was convenient between Goleta and downtown Santa Barbara. The lobby, the restaurant and outdoor area are super cute. And the staff was super friendly!
