Concierge "This beachfront hotel may only be a motel makeover, but it's a good one, with perky, beachy decor by model-turned-furnishings-maven Kathy Ireland."
Frommer's "If you're going to vacation in Santa Barbara, you might as well stay in style and on the beach -- ergo, at the Hotel Oceana, a "beach chic" hotel with an oceanfront setting and an L.A. makeover." Full review
Oyster Mid-Range
"Located directly across the street from the ocean, Hotel Oceana Santa Barbara is a cute beachside property ideally located minutes from downtown." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Oceana is being entirely restyled and updated from 1950s kitsch to new-millennium chic, with aggressive color schemes, crisp cotton sheets, down comforters and aromatherapy bath products."
