The lady at the counter was very nice. But everything else was awful. Smelled like cleaning fluid and had icky residue on the towels, AC didn't work, TV didnt work, extremely small room that even my 1 year old refused to crawl in, wood flooring upstairs means we could hear the people above us for 45 minutes at midnight. Could hear the family on the other side of the wall like they were in the same room. The bathroom was remodeled recently. Its lovely, but the shower is dumb. You have to get wet in order to turn on the water, and the hot water runs out very quickly. The bed is extremely firm. The pillows are cheap. This room would be fine for $50. I paid $400 and almost cried.

Amazing service from staff. Front desk very accommodating on every request. The only problem is that the hotel needs some TLC meaning some repairs and maintenance are needed.

Not a terrible place to stay, however it looks nothing like what is shown in the description pictures. It’s a basic motel with basic amenities. The location however is very convenient to downtown Santa Barbara.

We were locked out of our room at 9:45 pm. The after hours emergency number was NOT answering. It took them over 1 hour to return our calls. We didn’t get into our room until after midnight. The whole ordeal took over 2 hours while we’re stranded outside in the cold. The manager was not apologetic or empathetic to us. We were made to feel stupid by her because maybe we weren’t using the key card correctly. None of their 6 master keys worked on the door. This was their issue & NoT our fault. Don’t stay here!

Do not waste your money on this one
The room was dirty - there was so much dust in the “walk in” closet, it tuned black, not when was the last time they mopped the floors but you could see footprints from before on the floor. The floor was so cheaply installed that it was making the loudest noise when you walk around with or without shoes on but you had to have something on because the floors were dirty. The pillows looked someone just stuffed things in there to make pillows. There was no refrigerator in the room and I had throw away so much stuff I got from the store because I could Not chill over night. Room 20 has the worst view by the way. The TV was too small for the room. The WiFi is terrible. It takes forever to connect and when you do is slow. I would NOT recommend it at all. For that money you could stay anywhere else.

It was way more expensive than it was worth. The shower wasn’t clean, my wife had an allergic reaction to something in the room (seemed like a cat may have been there), the tv was very small, the internet was super slow and kept disconnecting, and not enough parking.

A very nice basic hotel. Pretty pool and a spotless facility. Rooms are small but totally workable. Super clean. The Internet isn’t the best but fine for a vacation trip. Neighborhood is very quiet and a short walk to the entertainment and restaurant district. Good for people who like a good buy and can forgive little things like spotty internet.
