Affordable no-frills property moments from the beach. I like the art-deco feel and the room felt like a beachfront retreat. Everything worked as needed and the included basic continental breakfast was a nice way to grab a snack and head to the beach. For the price in the area, I was very happy.

The bed was very uncomfortable, the heater smelled like strong gas so we had to sleep without it on a cold night and the blankets were thin so we were freezing all night.

The best part of our stay was the location. Aright across the street from East Beach. The coffee was great in the morning. Very old and we had a guest on 2nd floor walking around at 2am waking us up both nights. Maybe get a 2nd floor to not have this issue.

The location is just across the street from the beach, easy to walk to. The hotel had a nice pool and friendly staff. The bed and pillows were very comfortable! The furniture in the room was also nice. Considering the rates of other hotels in the area, this was a good value.

Mostly fine for the budget conscious, if there is such a thing in Santa Barbara. Very friendly and helpful front desk. Towels were like sandpaper. Mattress comfortable but pad and sheets didn’t fit.

The good and not so good.
Two issues with thisstay, first there was no AC and this was not mentioned on there web site or in the Hotels.com information. Second the fact that there was a charge for parking was not mentioned until the reservation was completed, also there was no mention of a security deposit being required. The motel was old but in good shape, clean, and pleasant staff.

No air conditioning, was equipped with two portable fans. Two portable fans were not enough to cool us down during this weekend’s heat wave. Was very close to turning around and drive back home even given the circumstances of not getting our money back but was way too tired from heat exhaustion to try to make the drive. Tried to contact front desk and was put on hold several times as well as being hung up on.
