5/5 Excellent

"Front desk staff efficient and helpful. Beautiful well kept room and very comfortable bed. Bathroom in good condition. Breakfast was probably nice but I didn’t experience it as I was up too late in the morning. Right off freeway exit and only a few miles away from the main parts of State street for a lot more dining options. Will stay again in the future"

"Quick stop before taking my kid to UCSB. Every one was very helpful. Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was good, the Angel working the breakfast area was nothing short of a miracle. She was like a breath of sunshine. Super sweet and full of energy. "
