Hyatt Place Santa Barbara
Over all it was good. I had trouble walking the halls that sloped down and we were put in the last room. They saw I walked with a cane. The parking was convenient though. I like Hyatt Place, but it would have been more enjoyable if we got a room closer to the front. Breakfast was excellent!

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara
Room was clean, but had multiple light bulbs that were out and a bathroom light/fan switch that didn’t work. Staff was not very friendly. Location is good, with lots of restaurants within walking distance.
