Beautiful, modern, brand new seeming room. Super clean. Amazing location!
Pros:

Super clean. The room seemed brand new. Everything was pristine. We loved the wall paper and gold finishes. The bathroom was so modern and beautiful. Amazing beach front location.

Cons:

The water pressure in the shower. I have longish, thick hair. Took several minutes just to get it wet and five minutes each to rinse the shampoo and conditioner.

It was comfortable but hotel can be improved further for it to be considered as 4 star hotel
Pros:

Location near restaurants, downtown and the beach. Beds are big, comfortable and king size. Rooms are cleaned everyday.

Cons:

Wifi is very spotty. Bathroom is small and shower pressure is very weak almost like a mist only. No other storage but the closet which doesn’t have compartments but only for hanging. It is not the kind of hotel where you stay longer than 3-5 days. There is only 1 sort of shower to remove dust from the beach but access is hard and you can flood the cabanas used by people

Nice but pricey and noisy
Pros:

Beautiful place. Nice pool. Nice staff.
Spacious room. The Chad’s coffee just next door is clearly enjoyable.

Cons:

Thin walls. You can hear your neighbors talk, watching tv and flushing. You also can hear the road. If you are looking to a call place to relax it’s clearly not ideal. Also we thought it was too expensive for what is was.

Milo Santa Barabara perfect stay
Pros:

The location was perfect right opposite the beach and a short walk to the pier, funk zone and State Street with many restaurants bars and shops . The relaxation gardens in front of the rooms and fire pits where beautiful and peaceful at night. The free hot chocolate and stores where a nice touch. Also offer free bike hire and beach toys if you forgot or didnt have room to bring your own.

Cons:

Rooms are a bit cramped if 4 adults sharing a double queen room. Also the pool only opens at 10am which is a waste of a morning if you want to chill before going out
