Top Mission Canyon Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Staff is very helpful and friendly. The location is very close to many things including the beach area, which are walkable!! The lobby has different coffees available throughout the day and in the mornings they put out continental type foods and drinks for their guests, which is not really advertised. Definitely an added extra!"

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Great property. Great staff at check in. Had to roll bags a while to get to 2nd floor room using elevator. When used echeck-out, left keys in room but needed them to get out of complex back to car so had to use the steps with heavy bags. Needed directions on how to treat keys. Wonderful stay! 8min from UCSB."

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at this hotel. The room was very clean, and the entire property was quiet and peaceful. Everyone mostly kept to themselves, which made for a relaxing stay. The air conditioning worked amazingly it kept the room nice and cold, which was especially appreciated during the warmer weather. The pool was also clean and well maintained. The only minor downside was that there wasn't a microwave in the room. However, there is a shared microwave located in the laundry room next to the washers, dryers, and vending machines, so it wasn't a huge inconvenience. As for the staff, we honestly didn't interact with them much, so I can't fairly comment on the service. We didn't need to ask for anything during our stay. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and would definitely consider staying here again."

Hotel Californian

8/10 Good

"The property is indeed unique - - beautiful architecture - our room however was extremely overpriced for having it face a parking lot and garbage area . The room itself was clean although the carpet had several spots all over. For 1300 / night I would expect more, at least a bigger property with more to do … The pool area was the best thing we experienced in the hotel although they didn’t really have food or drink service - waiters would show up maybe once / hour. They are located in the best Santa Barbara Funk Zone as it’s called but that also within 2 min walk of commercial transportation train tracks."

Beachside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our family trip with beachside inn. The staff was very friendly and helped us get adjoining rooms. the parking was easy and were able to walk around. Since it was hot the pool was nice and clean. The breakfast buffet was a nice way to start the day, especially with our picky little eaters. overall nice stay."
