Amazing time at the Corcle Bar B Ranch. We were welcomed by the kindest staff and stayed in this very cute cabin that was entirely renovated with high quality bedding and a luxurious bathroom. Additionally, the common area and dining area are very cute clean and make you feel like you are completely off the grid - we would love to come back there !

    My husband and I spent our honeymoon week in SB at the hotel Milo and we had the best time! The whole stay exceeded all of our expectations! They gave us two complimentary bottles of champagnes and chocolates ans set up towel swans and roses on the bed! So sweet. We loved everything from the snacks and drinks at front desk to the location. We loved the bikes provided and rode around town using them all week. The valet boys were super Sweet and helpful everyday with recommendations and advice about where to eat and hang out around SB. We will 100% be back again soon! Thank you!

    An attractive, clean, and comfortable room. No breakfast bar; however, just across the street is Renaud's, an upscale café that serves a great breakfast. Also across the street is Chaucer's, a fabulous independent bookstore, and Gelson's, a supermarket. On a main street, but we weren't bothered by traffic noise. The location is good for easy access (by car) to downtown Santa Barbara, the coastline, nearby shopping centers, and the freeway (Highway 101).

    All the staff we met were incredibly friendly, helpful particularly Mickey, Arron and Sam. The afternoon cheese & wine was an unexpected bonus as was the opportunity to use their bikes free of charge. The opportunity to borrow from their extensive DVD collection was a nice touch which we took of advantage of. The external appearance of the hotel was very appealing and nicely set out.

    Great location. The hotel is located just next to the wharf and about 15 min away from the center by walking. Restaurants are nearby. Our room was in another complex, close to the main building of the resort as we asked for a quiet room. Beautiful and comfy room.

    We were actually working in Santa Barbara but all the rooms were booked up there maybe the last few days of our job and it was a good experience in Santa Barbara and in Carpinteria we stopped by a few stores while we were there and the workers were very friendly. Considering we weren't off until late like maybe 10:00 p.m. 11:00 p.m. and we felt very safe thank you

    While the location is good, guests should be aware of traffic noise. Room did supply earplugs and "white noise" machine but not expected at $400+ per night. Bed and pillows are way to soft. Of course I am 4 years older now.

    We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

    Easy walk from Motel 6 on Carpinteria Street to restaurants and the beach. "The Spot" for burgers! Little Dom's for fancy feed. I walked my doggie in her stroller. Grocery store two blocks down the street. Not fancy digs. Just PEACE and QUIET. Nice pool too.

    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!
