Wonderful stay. The staff was very helpful and nice. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The one thing I wished could be better was the wifi, which was a bit weak. But this place was an unaffordable, comfortable and clean.

Good for a quick overnight for the price

This is your basic motel. The neighborhood made me a bit nervous with several weed dispensaries very near by. Check in was quick. The lobby was clean and the room was clean. The pool and hot tub looked very nice. Breakfast is true continental with no hot food other than toast and bagels. They also had a cereal selection and instant oatmeal cups.

Old but well kept and very clean. It's an auto court so you will hear vehicles starting in the early hours.

Nice stay

Nice little hotel. Good value for the family two bedroom booking. Great price for Santa Barbara. The continental breakfast is nothing special but enough: breads, yogurt, oatmeal packets, bananas, and beverages.

Continental Breakfast didn't have any warm foods. Without us knowing our room was right next door to a kitchen where it was so noisy that it woke us up.They had workers that plugged in a compressor right outside our door. My husband had to go tell the workers to stop. I didn't care for the woman who checked me in either. We should have gotten a discount. Nothing was offered. Won't stay there again.
