Top Golden Quadrangle Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

6/10 Okay

"The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was very clean. The TV was a little hard to figure out. They had a nice free continental breakfast as well. I got a room with a balcony thinking it overlook something nice but it opened to the parking lot. And our room was very close to a main street so when the window was open or we were on the balcony all we heard was the traffic going by until around 10pm. We ended up closing the balcony sliding door which defied the purpose of having a balcony!"

Lavender Inn by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one night at the lavender inn and it was very nice. Check in was smooth and our room was very clean. The property is well maintained and they have also own an inn right across the street where you can rent bikes for free. The beach/boardwalk was a 10min walk. The breakfast the next morning had cereal, a variety of pastries, mini frittata’s, yogurt, fruit, OJ and coffee. The parking was also included in our stay and the inn is right off the highway. I highly recommend if you’re making a pit stop on a road trip or would like to be close to the beach."

Sandpiper Lodge

8/10 Good

"The room was great. It's basic, but the bed was comfortable and the room was quiet and roomy. I did notice there was no fan over the shower, so you had to open the window for a vent. But otherwise, it was all we needed. Although my husband got his coffee in the breakfast room, we didn't find anything particularly healthy to eat for breakfast. Too much sugar and mostly bread and pastries. The fruit didn't look appetizing for breakfast. We always bring our own food when we stay here."

Motel 6 Carpinteria, CA - Santa Barbara - North

8/10 Good

"A/C heater system had a smell when turned on. Tried to open the window but is completely sealed off; therefore, could not open and is a safety concern. Vent in bathroom is covered in dust. If you plan to stay for more than one night, bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and body Other than that, room is nice and is probably still in the updating process from when it was once a Motel 6."
