    The view is incredible! The rooms are so clean and comfortable. The staff is so friendly and go out of their way. The only complaint is the shower is comically small lol. 💛💛💛

    From the Valet staff, to the front desk, service was excellent. Location excellent… loved having access to bikes and beach chairs. It’s a little overpriced, but so is everything in SB. We were coming off a week of dropping kids at 2 schools on 2 different coasts and just needed to decompress. Totally lovely room, experience, atmosphere. We will be back.

    Pool hours are not ideal but otherwise the hotel was great

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Staff was awesome. We did have to move rooms so that's why it's not a 5 star.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We loved our stay and plan to return!

    Wonderful experience at character-filled property, staff super helpful and nice. We checked out the bikes every day twice and never had any issues. We swam in both pools and explored the fire pits. Our room was very close to the street so not very peaceful but we had a nice view of pool and a bit of ocean. Would definitely return. Love the Milo!

    Across the street from the beach, which in the area is called beachfront. Beautiful older hotel with the Wharf and restaurants within walking distance. The room was very small and the had no closet to hang our clothes. Overall great stay.

    Location, location, location! Unfortunately, checking in at 11 p.m. may have contributed to the lack of assistance we received. No one offered to help us with our luggage, which was disappointing after a long day of travel. Finding the dark blue gate on a dark street was difficult, especially since we had nothing other than our room key. Late night check in staff greeted us but, something was a miss as we knew nothing about the property other than 2 pools and the dark blue gate to our room.

    Charming place with great location by the beach.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great location. Clean, pretty, loved the smores around the fire in the evening Pool was lovely but a bit soulless. A bit of music and bar service could add to the experience.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    A great place to stay with an overlook over the ocean! Also able to get on the beach easily and downtown was close enough to walk into

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The location is perfect The room I had was upstairs and a bit out of the way but I reserved it that morning so I understand.
