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
