We were hesitant to stay at the Hacienda last fall based on the rating, but our son's extra bed was unavailable and it was the weekend of the Santa Barbara Marathon so nothing was available at a reasonable cost. After reading some more recent reviews on another site we booked a room at the Hacienda, and were pleasantly surprised. We... More

We were awakened at 3:30am by loud, gunfire/firework sounds. Our room happened to be adjacent to a boiler room that housed 3 large hot water heaters. It seems that one of the heaters was malfunctioning and spouted-off for hours in the middle of the night. When I talked to the clerk, he acted as though he did not know what... More

I discovered the Hacienda back in 2006, and they just get better and better. They are family-owned, so you get more for the money than with a chain. I like the fridge and microwave, because Whole Foods is a half-block away (plus 2 other grocery stores, Peet's Coffee, Macy's and Ross in the area). I can fill up the fridge... More

Room needs upgrading overstuffed chair is dirty furniture is outdated. Refridgerator never is pulled out and cleaned around the area. Just odds and end of furniture. WiFi didn't work for me and when I got home my WiFi was just fine. This room for the price is too much for the look of the room. I won't be staying there... More

My daughter and I stayed one night in a somewhat small room with two queen beds. We checked in at almost 11 pm (family matters took up most of the day) after picking up food at Taco Bell. OK room, not nearly as large as the one we stayed in the night before (Parkside Inn) for the same price ($123... More

This motel was very clean, comfortable and provided us with everything we needed. The beds were cosy and allowed us to have a great sleep in between a big drive. It is located far from downtown (approximately 4 miles) and we walked the whole way to the pier which took just over an hour. Great motel and if you're not... More

This is the perfect place to stay if you're traveling from northern california to southern, or vice versa and need a comfortable place to crash to break up the drive, or if you're on a budget and looking for a comfortable hotel. This hotel had really comfortable beds. My boyfriend slept through the entire night here without waking up once... More

After having read the poor reviews, my expectations were pretty low, but almost everything was already booked, and the price was low. Location: The hotel is on State Street but it's not centrally located to the downtown State Street area, however, there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The Room: Keep in mind that this is not a 3 star hotel.... More

Had to go up to Santa Barbara for a wedding and booked a room at last minute for a night. When my sister & I pulled up, the place looked like a dump. Just old, out-dated - typical crumby motel. But when we walked into our room, I was pleasantly surprised that the furniture was all updated, looked recently remodeled,... More

the rooms are big and newly furnished; the motel is a little out of town, but downtown Santa Barbara can easily be reached by bus. Not quite cheap, but I suppose that´s because it is Santa Barbara.
