Need a place where your family of 5 (three young kids) can stay without splitting up and without spending your kid's college fund? This was definitely pretty bare but I loved that our room was really three rooms, each with a bed in it. The tvs are old, the decor isn't something you'll want to buy, the bathroom could use... More

Motel is average but clean. Man at the reception very helpful. Just a short walk from the waterfront. Very good location.

We book a room for three people and we got a suite: two bedrooms with one bathroom. Very nice. Rooms are not spacious but size is ok. We spent there only one night so we cannot complain. Room: clean, coffee maker (no cattle for tea), fresh towels, hairdryer, free Internet, fridge. Hotel: free parking, excellent location to pier and main... More

I arrived before 11 am via train and I realize that check-in was a 3 pm. I waited a while as the reception staff checked room availability. I was finally given the key to a non-smoking queen size bedroom in the middle of the property. Housekeeping was not done cleaning the room and was told that it would be another... More

What more do you want? :) there is even a little jacuzzi. It's classic motel style, basic but we are backpackers so was amazing for us! We have no car, location to walk to beach, whale tours was great! Hotel manager was a very sweet man - let us check in early. Softball fields across the road which was fun... More

appears to be run by clean freak perfectionists. Whilst this is the more budget end of the hotel choices in Santa Barbara, we would stay here again on its proximity to the beach, parking and very clean rooms.

I needed a really cheap for a conference. For $100 a night, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Yes, the furniture is old and the bedspread is thin, but the room was spotless and fairly big. It could definitely use a reno, but what are people expecting for $100 in Santa Barbara? My only complaint is that the... More

We stayed 3 nights ( for my mother in laws funeral ). So under the worst circumstance, a very comfortable and pleasant stay. We stayed in room 116, it is in the middle, with a king size bed. It was very comfortable and quiet. You open the door and hear the street, close ithe door, quiet. The drapes were also... More

I had asked for a room away from the road, but they ignored that and gave me a room beside the office and the road. So I went back and they gave me a corner room by the hot tub that was a handicapped room, but I liked it quite a bit because it was twice the size of the... More
