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.

What a delightful find in way expensive Santa Barbara. The Inn was quaint and we loved the retro colors and interior themes. We had a suite which was roomy and comfortable with a full kitchen, fireplace, balcony and flat screen TV. it would be ideal for someone or a small family on a budget that was staying in SB for several days. The zoo was literally in the backyard and only a two minute walk to East Beach. We'll be back!

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.

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

The location is great, the rooms are ok and the person at the reception is very nice and helpful. The main issue we faced was noise. If you are not on the top floor you will hear very loud steps and noises from above. Also if you have noisy neighbors you will hear everything.

This was a great location very close to the beach. Room was plain but comfortable. Location was great to access all of the SB waterfront. Hotel was quiet at night. No air conditioning so might be hot in summer.

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.
