A great one night stay.
A comfortable one night stay. Really friendly, helpful staff. A 15 minute walk to State Street. Further away from the beach than we had expected. A comfortable bed. Well equipped kitchen. Good bathroom amenities. Complimentary cheese and wine at 4.30pm was a nice bonus as was the complimentary bottle of sparkling wine in our room.

A nice motel.
I was disappointed to realize this was more of a motel than a hotel. It was certainly not reflected in the price. But the place was clean. Customer service was excellent. The wine and cheese set up in the afternoon was a wonderful bonus. The coffee was good and the breakfast was okay. Location was excellent, just a quick three block walk to the beach, and a half mile from the funk zone.

Great little inn. Quiet and cozy. Our room was surprisingly spacious and very clean. Sufficient but limited parking. Love the little courtyard area. Reminded me of apartment living but without all the extra noise and traffic.

Excellent hotel in great location
Arrived and were pleasantly surprised when the receptionist told us we had a free room upgrade. It was a lovely spacious room with separate kitchen and large bathroom. We only stopped for one night so the Free bike hire was great as it enabled us to see much more than we would have. Free breakfast was simple but very fresh and free wine and cheese at 6 was an added bonus. The staff were really helpful and are a credit to the hotel, which is conveniently located with short walk to beach and local shops.

This hotel is basically like a Motel 6 or Ecolodge. It’s in the worst part of a great area (between 2 busy streets and just off a freeway on/off ramp), but very convenient to the beach and walkable. $700 for 3 nights is hard to stomach but that’s Santa Barbara.
