If we were staying longer, we would have chosen a more upscale place but this was more than o.k. for one night. Check in/out was fast and easy. Rooms were clean and had all the basic amenities (+ a coffee maker). Great location too. The only thing I didn't like was the bed. Super stiff! Also, this place seemed to... More

On a coast drive we were looking for a cheap place to stay for one night (Monday). We looked at SEVERAL other hotels in this area before deciding on this one. We even looked at several rooms in this place before deciding on one. Mike at the front desk was very professional, kind, and accommodating. I don't remember which room... More

We had tea & Coffee facilities and a modern TV with free WIFI. The location is great if you don't mind a short walk to the... More

We stayed for a night with my husband and little daughter. The room was spacious, the TV was free, the internet was free also but dosn`t work. There was a cafe maker and it was pleasure for us to have a coffee before living in the morning.

We stayed here for a night on our way down to San Diego. Check in was straight forward and quick. Room was ok, bigger than expected. There was a disgusting foul smell in the bathroom though, as if there was a sewage leak somewhere. When we first arrived the room smelt very strongly of bleach, I guess that was to... More

After a long drive down Highway 1 from Monterey, we arrived late the night of our reservation. Front desk was quick and courteous. Average room to the say the least - but for the price not too shabby at all. The size of the room was actually surprisingly large. Not a bad place to stay for a night or two.

Started bad at check in when the girl kept telling us that didn't have the type of rooms we reserved 2 weeks ago. Even though I showed her the reservation she was just not getting it, took 30 min to check in. Room lights didn't work, the only one that worked had a mind of its own (sometimes will work... More

Stayed here at the last minute when we decided to stay in Santa Barbara for the evening. The Manager who checked us in was very accomodating and helpful. Gave us good advice and even helped print some tickets off for us. You can catch a bus outside the hotel into downtown, you could walk it but its about 20mins. Hotel... More

Granted it was a last minute decision at around 4:30 to spend the night in Santa Barbara but we really should've tried harder to find a room. This place was pointed out to us by the lovely ladies at the tourist center. They were told it was recently renovated and the price was right at $80. They need to take... More
