6/10 Good

Good and bad
Pros: Best deal during the holidays for a true 2BR / 2 bath suite. Great proximity to the beach. The staff is great; 5 star folks running a 2 star motel. Cons: The staff, even though I brag on them, never answered a phone call before I arrived and there is no way to leave a message. No way to take a nap there! Folks running the place are active all freakin day long and making a lot of noise the entire time. It is noisy AF there. And, if it isn't the staff or repair crews, it's the neighborhood around it (loud ass cars and car alarms) and the city (trash trucks at least a few time a week and a street sweeper). The floors in our suite were filthy! My wife's socks were black after walking around in the room for an afternoon and my slippers were sticky on the bottom after the first day. It seems like this is a 1950s motel with all of the issues with a construction of that era (thin walls and thin floors). They run out of hot water, which is just great during a shower; so you have to take your shower early. Seemed like the folks above our room were moving all of the furniture back and forth and practicing as a marching band. The pool is heated so noisy ass kids were in it the last two nights of our stay (I guess parents are reluctant to teach manners to their kids these days). One of the two TVs didn't work at all.

Beach steps away
Friendly, helpful staff and just one or two minutes walk to the beach. We didn’t try the pool, but it looked inviting. I’m sure this property began it life as a motel, but it has been thoughtfully updated with pleasant furnishings and features. Wi-Fi worked well enough for us to stream a movie (although my son said Wi-Fi was weak in his room). There are even two EV charging stations. Our rooms were squeaky clean and reasonably sized for a quick weekend getaway. I appreciated the coffeemaker and tea kettle. The bathrooms were quite small but everything worked perfectly, with the shower doors being the only giveaway to the past life as a motel!

The hotel is very near to the beach (walkable distance) and the Santa Barbara zoo is also walkable from the hotel. The kitchen and amenities in the kitchen (including a few utensils that were provided in the kitchen) was a pleasant surprise. One thing that we didn’t like was the washroom size. It was very small and without a bathtub. Apart from that, the rooms were spacious, the front desk staff was courteous. There was ample covered and open parking area for cars and there was 1 EV charging area also.

Plain but great for the budget conscious
We are locals who wanted a staycation that wouldn't bust our budget. This place is in a great location, only a block from the beach, and a lot cheaper than the beach facing hotels. Yes, the room was tiny, with few amenities (but had a mini fridge and coffee maker) but super clean and quiet with ample parking. Just note that it is right next to another hotel and go to the correct check in office! It doesn't look like much from the street but we consider it a hidden gem we will recommend to our budget conscious friends.

No WiFi and a kitchen w/zero utensils or items
I got a suite and there was NO internet and NO phone signal. When I complained they said their internet simply didn't reach that far and suggested I used the WiFi of the Motel 6 next door (which wasn't great either). My suite had a kitchen with ZERO utensils, plates, pans, etc. What's the point? Unbelievable. It wasn't cheap either.

Just my two cents
Amazing service from staff. Front desk very accommodating on every request. The only problem is that the hotel needs some TLC meaning some repairs and maintenance are needed.

Comfortable and close to ocean!
We booked last minute while visiting daughter at UCSB. Denise at front desk was very kind and helpful. She even helped us plug in our new Tesla overnight. We’ll be back!

Not a terrible place to stay, however it looks nothing like what is shown in the description pictures. It’s a basic motel with basic amenities. The location however is very convenient to downtown Santa Barbara.

2/10 Poor

We were locked out of our room at 9:45 pm. The after hours emergency number was NOT answering. It took them over 1 hour to return our calls. We didn’t get into our room until after midnight. The whole ordeal took over 2 hours while we’re stranded outside in the cold. The manager was not apologetic or empathetic to us. We were made to feel stupid by her because maybe we weren’t using the key card correctly. None of their 6 master keys worked on the door. This was their issue & NoT our fault. Don’t stay here!

Do not waste your money on this one
The room was dirty - there was so much dust in the “walk in” closet, it tuned black, not when was the last time they mopped the floors but you could see footprints from before on the floor. The floor was so cheaply installed that it was making the loudest noise when you walk around with or without shoes on but you had to have something on because the floors were dirty. The pillows looked someone just stuffed things in there to make pillows. There was no refrigerator in the room and I had throw away so much stuff I got from the store because I could Not chill over night. Room 20 has the worst view by the way. The TV was too small for the room. The WiFi is terrible. It takes forever to connect and when you do is slow. I would NOT recommend it at all. For that money you could stay anywhere else.
