Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"My friend's and my room was nice and clean. I thought it was weird that we had to walk outside of the lobby to find the elevator, though. When my roommate and I took our showers, there was either body soap or shampoo in the container that was supposed to be conditioner. And the conditioner was in the body soap container! I was also disappointed the next morning that there was no variety of hot food, like eggs, and meat like bacon or sausage. However I did enjoy the custom brew coffee machine that offered lattes and cappuccino."
