We stay at The Oceano for a weekend get away. I was somewhat disturbed prior to checking in as the reviews were across the board. I was very pleased as the service was great and the rooms were wonderful. They even provided breakfast each morning which was a plus! The location is perfect. It is right across the street from... more

Had a one night stay at the hotel and found it superb,from the welcome right through to leaving,great location near the pier.Super swimming pool at the hotel also a very nice breakfast before leaving. more

This hotel is a Best Western that someone painted with some bright colors. What is a hotel in California doing without air conditioning. In all my travels, I have rarely come across a motel that doesn't have air. Perhaps it wouldn't have been 85 degrees in the room if you could open a window. However due to the 'motel' style,... more

We were excited to get away for a few days in Santa Barbara to attend a wedding and relax and looking forward to our first stay at Hotel Oceana. I had asked for an early check in on the Sunday that we arrived. We arrived at 230pm ( check in is 3pm) and the lobby was chaos. After waiting for... more

This hotel is fine if you don't overpay. We stayed here on a one-night get-away. The room was fine but not exceptional--on the caliber of a Best Western type motel. This hotel was reminiscent of old California--the rooms faced a large green lawn area (maintained vacant lot between two buildings) that was like a park. There were lots of tables... more

We have stayed at the Oceana before and returned because of a good rate on priceline. We went to Santa Barabara for a concert to celebrate our anniversary . The hotel is located right across the street from the beach and a quick easy walk the pier. It is clean and the recent renovation is nice. The rooms are a... more

Yesterday I logged onto the Hotel Oceana's website to make a reservation for October 11th. While I was filling in all of the information, I read that there is a 15% discount if you pay at least 10 days in advance. I submitted all of the crediot card info & then realized, upon receiving the confirmation, that the 15% wasn't... more

We dropped in here to see if there was any accommodation available for a four night stay in Santa Monica. The location was fantastic, right across the road from the beach and the wharf, close to State Street. We were shown a room which was small and lacked wardrobe space, unimpressive bathroom, and NO AIR CONDITIONING! We were told that... more

Santa Barbara is a wonderful destination with something for everyone. The Oceana is perfectly located on the beach, view of the harbor and in walking distance to everything. Wine tours stop right at the hotel to pick you up. Once you park your car, you can just enjoy yourself. Rooms are modern and bright. Two pools, one secluded more for... more
