Plan ahead! Only place available for holiday weekend @$168.00! Run down, paper thin towels for shower, but, worst of all, when we called they said pets are allowed, we have a small dog of 10 pounds, but no, upon arrival a $100.00 fine for pets is their policy. Little Sammy stayed in the car for the night - deceptive deceitful... More

We only stayed over night at this place which was ok, but won't go there for a longer stay. Romms are small & dirty, quite rundown. Don't walk there barefood after a shower, you might have to wash your feed again after they get in touch woth the floor. Sink, shower & toilet look like there been there a long... More

On our way home from Monterey & needed to stop for the night. Unfortunately neglected to make reservations, for the one night & of coarse, it was a Saturday night. After checking several places - no vacancies & seeing several other "no vacancy" signs - we hesitantly pulled into Sunset Motel parking. We were both exausted & when we were... More

Not the best motel in the world but far from being the worst. We arrived late evening having exhausted all other options, and ourselves. Agree with previous reviewer that the outside appearance was quite promising. This was cheaper than the nearby Motel 6 on State Street so we stayed 2 nights @ $86 per night inc tax. Room dreary and... More

This motel looks good from the outside, typical older Santa Barbara motel. It is located near the end of State Street, a long ways from the beach and downtown. When I checked in I asked... More

My husband and I were looking for a cheap place to spend the night on our drive down Highway 1 in February 2005 and chanced upon this motel after seeing the "$49 SINGLE" sign in the reception window. We didn't want to spend much because we only got in at about 9pm and were planning to leave early in the... More
