Nice hotel with great staff. About a block to the beach…easy walk! Room was large and comfortable beds. They have a nice continental breakfast. Would love a couple more hooks or towel bar to hang up towels. Does get a little loud in the hallways in the morning. Otherwise a great place to stay in Santa Barbara!

With so many choices in the area, I think there are better options. They seemed short staffed and the hotel a bit worn down.

It’s all right. However, there are a lot of choices in the area and I’m not sure I made the right one in choosing this hotel for a wedding weekend. They seemed short staffed and the property a bit worn.

Aviana is a beautiful place to stay for a Santa Barbara weekend getaway! Our room was clean and comfortable! I would recommend this stay to anyone! If the hotel actually reads these, your hashbrowns at breakfast are over cooked but easily edible!! STAY HERE, ITS AWESOME

This is a good all around property. If you need to use their wifi you may need to look elsewhere, spotty at best. If that's not a deal breaker than this is a good place to stay; walkable to both the beach and the downtown areas.
