This my favorite stop in Santa Barbara. I break up the drive to Orange County with a stop here. It is always clean with large fluffy white towels, coffee, pastries and banana bread for breakfast. The location is great within walking distance to great restaurants so you don’t have to get in the car again. It is good for pets. There are nice walking parks, strictly on leash, near by. Plus easy access to the freeway. I enjoyed the Black Friday special on the Monday after Thanksgiving! It was a great deal!

From the moment we arrived we were treated like one of the family. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The ranch is amazing with lovely horses and character touches fitting with the ranch lifestyle. The meals were delicious and wholesome served with a smile. They even put a bottle of wine in our room for my 60th birthday. The jacuzzi was just what we needed after a great horse ride. Love this place

    Our honeymoon at The Milo was absolutely perfect! We were surprised in our room with complimentary sparkling wine, chocolates, and a beautiful decoration of towel swans and rose petals. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made our stay truly unforgettable. The staff's service is FANTASTIC, exceeding all expectations with their kindness and attention. Impeccable cleanliness, comfort, and location. The best choice in Santa Barbara! We wholeheartedly recommend it.

Attentive staff and free parking !

    When I visit my daughter and grandson in Santa Barbara, I like to have my privacy so I stay here. The dog and i can walk to the beach boardwalk in 20 minutes. There's the tasty burger shack where we share! There are bathrooms. On the way to the beach you will find restaurants and shops. The old doggie is in a nice-sized stroller, so we can bring back goodies. Right next door to the Motel 6 on Carpenteria Street is a grocery store, dollar-type store, and Goodwill too! Have fun!
