I stayed there while attending a class @ the nearby community college. I booked directly via phone with the location. On my arrival, found the place with all sorts of seedy types hanging around in the parking lots, off of the balconies, and in/out of the rooms. I had specifically asked for a frige in the room. It was not... More

I booked this hotel thru expedia because I expected that for $15 more the the local motel 6 that it would offer a little bit more in services. No air conditioning, no in room refrigerator, brokem screen on windows, cig burns on bedding. Pool looks more like a frog pond. If motel 6 is sold out this is your 2nd... More

The other review is exactly accurate. The room was small, mattress stained, burns on the furniture and linens, people hanging out in the parking lot, institutional-like shower stall with no bath, thread-bare towels, no attempt at decorations, old-style wall heater, peeling wall paint and plaster, busted up concrete in the parking area. The flophouse description is accurate. AVOID AT ALL... More

We wanted an affordable hotel in the Santa Barbara, CA area but with all hotels booked, we expanded our search and found the Best Value Hotel (name sounds like a reputable chain) in nearby Santa Maria. The $80/night fee seemed to indicate a... More
