Although this is an older building with older room, it does have some upgrades like flooring instead of carpet tile in the showers with new sinks and toilets. Definitely like the fact that there was a refrigerator inside. The staff is friendly and very accommodating.

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.

Looking for a motel?

    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!
