3504 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93105, USA –

Location was good near to some Shops, WE Just stayed one night but Had everything WE needed

Annekatrin, Germany

Nice breakfast, room was clean and tidy. Shower good. Parking free and very close outside rooms.

David, United Kingdom

Staff were friendly the room was clean if in need of a little freshening up. Wifi, now a staple of hotels was good.

Martin, United Kingdom

Lovely architecture, hand-painted murals - great location close to shops and restaurants. The manager was very friendly and helpful.

Kate, Australia

I mostly stay here since it is right next to where some of my family lives. I have also found it to be a clean and economical hotel.

James, USA

Very friendly reception. We could park our car in front of our room. The room was perfect our needs and very clean.

John, Germany

Charming place. Breakfast included - not so common in the US, and we appreciated that! Especially that they offered bananas and not just sweet stuff...

Malin, Sweden

Clean; second room was more than adequate (the first room was very small and crowded and the tub was so high and deep that it was very difficult for an older person with physical limitations to get in and out). But the woman at the desk was very helpful and changed us into a much better, more spacious room with a walk-in shower. The motel certainly wasn’t luxurious but served its purpose of a place to stay for a couple of nights.

Docdeb, USA

Staff friendly, room clean, super comfortable bed, choice of pillows, great tv with good channels, fresh breakfast

Pandora, Italy

Very nice. I think this motel is the best and cleanest during our a high way trip. There’s variety breakfast and nearby is a seven-eleven store.The staff there was nice and sweet.

When I initially checked in the television monitor didn't work, and when I tried to call the front office, the telephone was dead. I went to the office, and the woman at the desk came immediately to my room, turned the television on for me using the controls on the screen. The showed my how to operate the television using these controls. The television was repaired the next day. The telephone was operational by the next day. During my stay, the fluorescent light above the bathroom sink went out, and the dead bulb was never replaced during my stay, even though I reported it the day that it went out.
The breakfast was good. The location was excellent, at least for the purposes of the visit. The room was small, but adequate, The price was very reasonable for the accommodations that I received.

The only thing that was noticeable, especially for women, was there wasn't any counter space in the bathroom. Also the towels were a bit worn and hard.
I really enjoyed the cleanliness of the room. The fridge and micro were definite pluses! The bed was extra comfy, cloud like! And to top it off the continental breakfast was fab, bagels, muffins, hot cereals, juices, fruits and coffee.

It was nice but just kind of expensive. Did have a nice tub. The beds were ok. Mostly I was just upset because I emailed them a couple of days before our check in to see if they could have our room ready for us a little earlier, around 1pm, and they told us they would have it ready by 2pm which we were ok with. We ended up arriving at 3 and they still didn’t have the room ready even though 3 is normal check in time. We were tired from out travels and wanted to shower and take a short nap before exploring the town. It was just kind of annoying we had to wait 30 mins even after the supposed check in time.
The room was clean, it was located close enough to attractions. Only a 10$ uber to the main area and beach

Reception and front desk very old, dark and seedy looking.No breakfast room. Take your cereal, toast and coffee back to your room. No clock or even nightstand for my side of the bed.Had to use a rickety chair instead. Switch for ceiling fan/light didn't work. Insufficient wall plugs. No tissue box, but they did furnish a half used roll of toilet paper instead.Furnishings very old, garish and dated. And to top it all, the room was the most expensive of my two week trip to California - almost $250
TV set was huge and the bed comfortable
