After extending my stay by paying through the app, the front desk manager told me that I had not yet paid. I showed her my expedia receipt and reservation confirmation, she continued to tell me that I did not pay. I asked her if she thought I was lying or if the receipts were fake? 20 minutes later she changed her mind! Incredibly rude and inconvenient.

Not a bad place for a motel.
Since downtown Santa Barbara doesn’t have many hotels, this motel was a good cost and a good stay. It was quiet, although there were construction workers above me however they were quiet after 9 o’clock, so yes, this was a nice motel. The only thing I suggest for them to do is to secure the bathroom window because there were no locks on them.

There was a large, dead cockroach made into the bed. At about 2030 I asked the desk clerk to have someone come make the bed. He said no one was available. I asked for some sheets. He gave a sheet. I asked for another sheet and a pillow case (there were four pillows on the bed and 2 sheets, right?). I showed him the cockroach. "oh my gosh!", and "sorry", as he had his back to me leaving the room. I took a photo of the phone on the bedside, but did not take a photo of the bathroom window propped catty-corner from the sill with a roll of toilet paper. I paid $175.00 for this stay? I had told the clerk I was leaving a poor yelp review. I will not book there again, nor will I book with Expedia. Have deleted the app from my phone.

This was a pleasant and unexpected gem. We didn't expect much since it was a motel and we needed to quickly reserve a place for a weekend in Santa Barbara. It was one of the more reasonably priced options, but it turned out to be much more than we expected. The service was excellent. We arrived late after a long drive, and my daughter needed to use the bathroom. Since there wasn't one in the lobby, the service lady quickly gave her a key card to go to our room while I took care of check-in. The rooms were clean, with super comfy beds and very white sheets. The bathroom was spacious, and the shower had warm water immediately. The furniture and walls/doors are a bit run-down, but as long as the beds/bathroom is clean, I can deal with it. The location is perfect—close to everything. There's a Target and a mall nearby, as well as several convenience stores (7-Eleven) and fast food restaurants (McDonald's, Wingstop, Chipotle, Starbucks, etc.), and grocery stores (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's). If you stay on the first floor, you might hear people talking as they walk by, and the door has gaps, so it can get pretty cold at night. Despite these minor issues, we would definitely stay here again, as it was reasonably priced. I noticed in the reviews that some people paid much more than we did, so if the price were higher, I might consider other options. For what we paid, it was a good stay.

This Motel is disgusting. The rooms are falling apart. The walls were filthy. The screens in the windows were ripped. The fridge had a rotten smell. Nasty. If they don’t want to upgrade then they should be charging no more than $50 a night.

It's a motel, so my expectations weren't high, but the room, bed, and bathroom were all clean and well cared for. The shower was one of the better ones I've used in a while: a welcome surprise after a long day. It had good blackout shades too. And it was right next to a 7/11, which was handy. A minor negative is that the freezer in the fridge wasn't working, but that probably won't bother most people.

Yikes. $125 for a non-refundable room that was so incredibly run down. Duct tape to hold flooring together. Paint chipping all over. Damaged furniture you wouldn’t take from someone’s sidewalk. I am surprised that they can charge so much for such substandard accommodations. I slept with one eye opened.
