Each one has air conditioning, a flat-screen cable TV, an iPod dock, wooden floors, a ceiling fan, and a custom coffee machine with coffee.

For travelers bringing a pet, this stay is pet friendly, and parking is available where needed.Around the property, two heated outdoor pools and a hot tub give the day a slower pace between outings.

The restaurant used for breakfast had large queues most days. However you are so close to lots of others within easy walk.

Very attractive property overlooking the ocean. We had a 2 room suite as have 2 teenage kids with us, which was ideal. They were delighted to find the bunk beds were actually doubles! Very comfortable beds. The staff were very nice. The valet guys were very friendly and helpful, especially Angel who helped us when we took the complimentary bikes out along the promenade, which was lovely, and also the complimentary beach seats when we took them to the beach across the road. My daughter (& husband!) enjoyed the nightly complimentary S’mores around the fire pit, and we appreciated the complimentary morning hot drinks available in the lobby. There is no restaurant which wasn’t a problem, but it would have been nice to perhaps have a bar near the pool area so we could have got a drink, although there is a large fridge area in the lobby that you can buy goods from, if you want to pay their prices! The toiletries in the bathroom were lovely.
We loved our time at the Milo and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Santa Barbara!
Negative:
No kettle in our room, although that seems standard for the US!
Summary: We loved our time at the Milo!

Positive:
The location is excellent, and the property is lovely. The hotel amenities - pools, common spaces, happy hours, complimentary coffee/tea in the lobby - were really enjoyable.
Negative:
The only challenge was the size of the bathroom. There was no way for two people to get ready at the same time.
Summary: Great jumping off point for adventures in Santa Barbara
