4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2013

Hotel was pretty good. Service was good. Breakfast was great. No pool or any communication pool was being redone at time of our stay. We would have probably stayed elsewhere had we known this. Overall it was good but thought some sort of discount should have been given for not having pool as advertised.

Dear Guest, We are very sorry about the inconvenience of the closed pool. We know that it is a huge draw, especially with this nice weather we have been having! We are now finished upgrading the area, and hope that you have a chance to come stay with us again and enjoy it! Thank you, Nicole Weland AGM More

We were surprised by how good this hotel was although it seemed more like a motel at first. The staff were very helpful and friendly and even offered to drive us to the beach. The location is superb and the rooms were excellent, the only downside was the pool was out of action. The room had a fridge, microwave, dvd... More

Stayed at this hotel two nights, first night loud humming noise in wall which kept me awake til very late, moved to another room for the second night with a slow drain in the sink but besides that everything else was good. They are revamping the pool and hot tub area and it looks like it will be very inviting... More

Stayed here while visiting UCSB. Clean room with nice fold out for the kids. Lots of shopping and food within walking distance. Breakfast good enough since it is included in rate. Several guests had trouble getting a seat. If you don't know the area this is great for UCSB but a healthy drive to downtown Santa Barbara. I would stay... More

Spent 2 nights here in March & were delighted with our choice, The motel is one of the best we've used. Great location with Calle Real Center shops across the road (supermarkets, mail box etc), the gardens are gorgeous, swimming pool, patio area, and restaurant exceptional. Staff were well above average. Breakfast hot dishes varied each day and the cook... More

My room opened on the parking lot, and rowdy kids were running around making noise. Doors open directly outside which never bodes well with me. The room had small fridge and micro. I didn't take advantage of the breakfast. Price is right for the SB area.

Hello, Thank you for taking time to post a review. I believe that your visit happened to fall on the weekend where the local University students have a big "party weekend". We try to keep the guests that come into town for this party event under control, and remove them when they are causing problems. We are sorry that you... More

Clean, conveniently located. There's a shopping center just down the street in case you forget something. Comfy beds. All rooms have a mini-fridge, microwave & dvd player which is really nice. The rooms have the sink/vanity separate from the toilet/shower which I always love! The free continental breakfast was good. Yummy scones & frittata. My frustration was that they only... More
