This is usually our go-to hotel for a brief, overnight stay in Santa Barbara. The rooms are a nice size, have good beds, and are usually quiet at night. Often, construction workers stay at this hotel and they are up and out early and can be a little noisy. The breakfast is adequate, continental breakfast style.

Room was on the older side, bed was comfortable, bathroom clean (the shower was fantastic! Powerful and warm!). Very much an no frills motel experience. No complaints although the TV didn’t work (internet connection issues) but I also didn’t ask for a repair.

I am a mom of two, and I always try to find reasonable, practical, budget friendly places! This hotel even had a separate room for the kiddos. This definitely fit the bill and fully satisfied! A pool, hot tub (jets were not working, but not a big deal), 2 sinks was also awesome. Large fridge with clean microwave! Beds were comfortable and clean. Was also an 8 minute drive to Downtown Santa Barbara and all the beaches. Would definitely stay here again.
