So disappointed! Old motel, tiny bathroom, poor quality towels, no coffee, and charges for ice! Really?! The Motel 6 next door looked better. Not cheap either! More

Great little find in a place so expensive. Poll was clean, bed was comfy, bad points: view of car park but look further and you can see the mountains, no fridge in room just an ice bucket!! Smaller that average room but was ok for 3 nights. Front desk very helpful and free wifi! Good 20 min trek to State... More

My friend and i didnt have anything booked for SB and figured we'd find something when we got there. We were traveling on a budget and opted for the Motel 6 - which had no vacancy at 9 p.m. that night. Guy told us to check next door at Pacific Crest. We got the last room in the place and... More

This place was HORRIBLE!!!!! Let me just say that we had the most disgusting room we have ever been in, so bad we couldn't sleep in the room and ended up leaving and staying somewhere else in the middle of the night. We checked in at 5pm and dropped our bags off in the room and immediately left as we... More

We found this motel after a little driving around. So many of the hotels etc are very pricey. This one is a little further up the road (about 30 mins walk along the beach to the main pier and State St). Still seems pretty expensive for what you get. But nonetheless it is good value for money when compared. The... More

We may be an “inexpensive motel” but we never compromise on quality or standards. We are a quality Inn by the sea. This is there opening line on the site, could not be further from the truth. Expensive rates , fixtures in the room tatty, heating that does not work, the other side of the door in the room allows... More

I'm not a big complainer yet for the price I paid I felt a little "jipped". The first thing I noticed was the outdated comforter (which looks like it was borrowed from the Motel 6 next door) The pictures on the website do not illustrate any remote features shown in them. the office closed early (10pm) which I can understand...

We stayed here recently for one night - not by choice but out of desperation as everywhere else in Santa Barbara was full (it was Labour Day weekend, which we didn't know about being Irish, and we hadn't booked ahead for our stay in SB, thinking there would be ample choice). We got the last room in the hotel (and,... More

I tried to stay at Motel 6, but they sold out very quickly - there was an event last weekend on Santa Barbara, and I wasn't aware of it. Hotels are inbelievably expensive at Santa Barbara, around $700 for a weekend (I don't know why, the city is not spetacular), so we gave this motel a shot. Everything was cleaned,... More
