My husband and I just returned from a two night stay in Santa Barbara. We are so happy we chose this hotel -- great location, which is across the street from the harbor and beach. Harvey Robbins, the general manager and Josh, the front office manager have created a very hospitable staff which were extremely friendly and accommodating. The complimentary... More

This is the place to stay if you want inexpensive rooms (they have been remodeled), a clean pool, and a great location. However, it is not for people who want real comfort and amenities. Plastic furniture (one chair) adorns the patio, which has great potential if it were properly decorated. This is your standard Best Western motel.

Rooms are clean, the staff very helpful and its right infront of the harbor. A few streets away Stearn's Warf and State St. ( the backbone of Santa Barbara). Free Breakfast and wifi too. Will definitely stay here when I come back to visit Santa Barbara again!!

we had a beachfront room with a balcony right across the beach. great location! Pros: - location - price - balcony Cons: - some outlets didn't work - electrical card lock didn't work - had to have security/maintenance let us in every time - every TV channel was staticy / fuzzy overall, the pros outweigh the cons.

They had vacant rooms but the best deal they would give us was $227.00 for 1 night stay. For the facilities this is expensive. Room was good and clean but we arrived at 8.pm that evening and checked out in the morning so didn't get chance to use any other facilities. The breakfast was very basic but complimentary. We had...

Arrived for the weekend and received a small floor level room. The room was clean but like I mentioned, very simple. A bed, TV, table and a bathroom. It was perfect for just putting your stuff down and going to bed at night. The pool is cute and was well kept. Breakfast was OK but nothing special. I'd recommend as... More

We had a lovely time here. The location was brilliant, you could walk to the harbour pier and beach, it was a little further to walk to the shops. The staff were helpful. Our room was comfortable and clean, I thought it might be noisy but it was very quite and we all slept well. The pool was clean and... More

This hotel is located in a great spot in Santa Barbara. Very very good location. It is set up motel style with the doors opening to the outside but overall not too big of a deal although we had a balcony. The room we had overlooked the park and had plenty of room. The beds were also very very comfortable,... More

Decent room in a terrific location. Walking distance to beach, pier, State Street. Not too noisy. Room had recently been updated. Nice beachy colors. Ask for quiet room. Had balcony and view of park. Good value in pricey locale

We stayed at this hotel in March 2013 during a California road trip. It was exactly what I expected. PROS: 1. Location is very good in front of the water. You are on the main road and walking distance to the pier and a few restaurants. However you are not walking distance to the downtown area. If you wanted to... More
