Older but comfy
Older facility but the bed was good. The manager was helpful. We liked the fireplace. Coffee in the lobby in the morning was nice.

Great motel located across from the beach
Great location!!! Room was very spacious and had a full kitchen. The motel is quite old and run down and could use a refresh but the location and size of rooms you can’t beat. It’s dog friendly also.

No wifi
I don’t usually leave bad reviews, but there was absolutely no wifi in my room. Wifi is pretty basic for a hotel. Also, the walls are very thin so I had to listen to a couple making out one of the nights. Other than those 2 things the hotel is ok.

No internet connection / bad wi-fi
The staff was friendly, the fireplace in the room was cool, and the property was dated but clean. But I can't give this hotel more than a 1-star review because of the internet. They promised wi-fi so I booked this hotel as part of a remote work trip. The wi-fi was not functional. The connection didn't work on my phone either, to the point where it would take 20 minutes to load any image that someone would text to me or to look up restaurants/coffee shops to visit. When I asked the front desk person about it, they said it's "just a Santa Barbara problem," but I've never encountered it at another hotel before. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to work remotely, or even just use their phone in their room.

Escaping Fire
Last minute stay after evacuating from the Mountain Fire. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was a little firm for my liking.

Basic utility motel room, but one block from beach and reasonably priced. No A/C, just fans. Wi-Fi sporadic, can't depend on connecting to internet. Pleasant staff. Will repeat.

Bring shower shoes
I had to use shower shoes in the bathroom and there is no air conditioning. They charge you parking, then we found out it was supposed to be free for ca residence. The back of this hotel parking lot faces a pitch black park and people sleep on that street. The office closes at random times and you have to schedule late check ins. I did not want to get in the blankets. The staff is nice but they all lie at all hotels about rates, fees, prices. The woman do a great job.

OK
Good price on line but a number of somewhat hidden costs for booking with third party. Lobby staff was focused on their phones more than customer service. A walk to state street but good location for kids and pets. Thank you.

2/10 Poor

First of all, I had to pay $15 to park behind the building in an unsecure lot. I have stayed in Santa Barbara on business for 20 years and NEVER paid for parking. Internet sucked. It took me an extra hour to get all my orders sent in as I kept getting bumped off the internet. Lastly, there was no hot water to take a shower so I had to sponge off in the sink. I will not stay at this facility again.

Really liked how close it was to the beach. The internet service was extremely spotty. We did have a router in our room that we could restart but it was not consistent service.
