Bus stop is right outside the hotel. A large, clean and tidy room, spatious bathroom, enough towels and toiletries. Very nice and friendly staff. I don't drink coffee so it doesn't matter to me, but there is a coffee machine and enough supplies to make coffee. WiFi was great. I would stay here again.

Room was cleaner than I expected. TV was bigger than expected. Bed was more comfortable than other hotels I've stayed at. Quieter than expected too, I saw a lot of cars in the parking lot and expected it to be loud and it wasn't.

    The outside of this motel is a little shabby but other than that it's a great place to stay in Santa Barbara without spending an arm and a leg!
