It may be a mile walk to State Street and downtown Santa Barbara, but you can't get a much better location facing the Pacific. The hotel isn't huge, the rooms aren't enormous, and the pool could have been cleaner (it was cleaned the morning we left), but the staff were friendly and helpful and it was just so nice to... More

when you first check in you don't realise what lovely surroundings you are in and the views are terrific. the garden areas with tables, chairs, umbrellas, loungers all for use and flowering gardens are beautiful and kept very well. the rooms are clean and tidy, good size beds, and I have to say excellent value for money. the breakfast is...

A very nice hotel: clean, spacious room and very nice ocean view (depending on the room). Parking is free and there is also a small swimming pool. Staff was very friendly and gave us nice tips. To get to ocean just need to cross the street. Easy to get by car, but not really close to shop/reastarant street close to... More

What contrast to the dump I stayed in the night before. Great friendly welcome in a quaint comfy set up at a reasonable price. It's doesn't have the slick clean lines that some more expensive establishments have, but they generally don't have the informal friendly welcome that this excellent place does. Has all you really need ( could maybe have... More

Planned a trip a month out and saw the great reviews here. Online showed no opening the weekend we were going. Decided to call them and as it turned out they had one room available- booked it. Price was right and pictures looked good. Check in was great- Dan is great. Went to the room- it was smaller than I... More

Was in Santa Barbara and decided to stay another night so chose this hotel and it was very nice. Eric in the front office was very nice and helpful and he let us look at the room before we booked. It was partial ocean view with a little patio with table and chairs and we could see the ocean so... More

We liked the location on the map and paid an extra $40 for a sea view. This was sideways on. We arrived to park outside what in the UK we would call prefabricated metal huts which were going rusty. Minute balcony with worn carpet just squeezed two chairs and tiny table on it. Had to draw the drapes in daylight... More

the staff was very nice and helpful at this hotel, and the location was beautiful, but frankly, its old and needs a facelift. The rooms were like something we would have seen 30 years ago, and the beds were a bit stiff. Our room was pretty dark and the shower was useable, but not much better than that. Small TV,... More

This motel was lovely, staff kind, just not sure it was worth the huge price! Location is great, right across the road from the beach, but about 20 minute walk from the pier, shops etc. I paid for a sea view, and got a ground floor room, with patio and slight sea view. Room was a nice size, clean, with... More
