8/10 Very good

High quality for what it is

It's cheap, but clean. Everything worked properly and nothing was gross. There were some nice little touches like a mural in the stairwell. The beds were pretty hard and pillows quite lumpy. Only bar shampoo, not liquid. The sink is in the room not the bathroom. Huge TV though.
Lauren, 1-night trip

Great option

We were here for a wedding from out of state and we saved hundreds by staying at this motel instead of some of the places that the rest of the wedding stayed at. We were actually surprised how cute, clean, and comfortable it was. Safe area, parking was easy. Would 100% stay here again.

Liz, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Sunset Motel is an affordable option located near the bus line and various restaurants. I had a very quiet and secluded room (207) so fortunately I did not hear other neighboring rooms which is a plus. The bed was very comfortable too. The furniture and decor is very dated which could use a good renovation. The A/C & heat worked well in the room. The biggest disappointment was no hot water to take a shower during my entire stay.
Frank Drake, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location was super convenient as it was close to stores as well as the wedding venue. The beds were super comfortable and rooms were clean. The manager was very sweet as well.

smelly non-smoking room

My non-smoking room reeked of cigarettes. The front desk refused to give me a receipt or tell me how much I had been charged when I checked out. They said "your receipt is available from Expedia ". I travel to Santa Barbara frequently and I will never stay here again.

The property was charming, the room dated but clean and the area was quiet. The amenities were ok, check in smooth. I missed have some hangers in the room for my clothes. The cost was reasonable for Santa Barbara.
