5/5 Excellent

"Typically not a fan of motels, we enjoyed this recently remodeled and nicely styled space. The staff were clean, attentive and the breakfast and coffee options were premium. The vanilla waffle batter was delicious! A good value stay in Santa Barbara!"

5/5 Excellent

"My husband and I came across this property as we were trying to look for an overnight stay for our anniversary and what really caught my attention was the price for a beachfront view! All the other properties we looked into in the Santa Barbara area was almost double the price. And if you’re okay with an outdated building/room but with the most spectacular beach view with listening to the waves crashing in the nighttime, then look no further! Yes, we were hesitant in the beginning because the rooms are a bit outdated, but with the inspection I do in every hotel room that we step into, it was very clean! Room 11 is on the 2nd floor ( upgraded from a standard room) , with a King Twin bed, if you’re traveling with little ones and the room window looking out into the ocean was worth every penny ( to upgrade, roughly $100 ). Pros: -The young gentleman checking us in was very friendly, housekeeping staff as well -Continental breakfast from 7:30am-10am for their guests - Clean rooms -Breathtaking view Cons: - Limited parking -Restrooms in the room was outdated but clean -You can ONLY hop on 101South from the property and get off next exit just to hop back on to 101North to head into Santa Barbara or anywhere in that direction. -You can hear the footsteps of other guests that is on the same floor as your room. Would definitely book again in the near future ! "
