Top Ellwood Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was great. They kept our bags all day for free after we checked out. We ate dinner we bought in their lobby while waiting for our taxi on the day we checked out. They were great"

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is an excellent location and within walking distance of many of Santa Barbara's top attractions. Stearns Wharf and State Street are both about a 15-minute walk away, and you'll find plenty of great restaurants, shops, and entertainment nearby. The property is well maintained, with clean, comfortable rooms, as well as a nice pool and spa to relax after a day of exploring. Parking can be limited, but once you arrive, there's really no need to drive. Most of the area's attractions are easily accessible on foot, making it a great place to stay. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this property."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay for our mini-honeymoon! The room is very comfortable with a great location near many restaurants, coffee shops, and places to drink wine. The staff were all friendly and very, very helpful! There is a mild amount of noise being near State street but nothing that diminishes the stay at all. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Santa Barbara."

Hotel Californian

8/10 Good

"check in was chaotic . She gave us a quick overview of the property, which is more of a compound and not super easy to figure out, but failed to provide the map. The biggest issues was the room wasn't ready till well after 4:00. They were supposed to update us, with a call and they didn't. We were left waiting in reception for a half hour and kept having to wait in line for reception."
