Top Cielito Hotel Reviews

FOUND Hotels, Santa Barbara, Series by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Parking is a lil tight but other than that the scenery is beautiful. I love the fire pit and the breakfast wasnt too shabby. I would definitely stay there again."

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for my birthday with my hubby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was great not too far from the beach. The staff was very nice and friendly. The room was nice. The stars of the show were the bed and the shower. The bed was so comfortable that I couldn’t even get out of it the next day. I literally had to call to the front desk and pay for extra time because it was so comfortable. The shower oh my gosh! The water pressure was so amazing. I don’t know what was in his water, but it felt like moisturizer was coming directly from the spout. We got out of the shower, and our skin was so soft and nourished. I would absolutely stay here again."
