Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests appreciated the great location and breakfast options, highlighting the charm of the motel and friendly staff. However, there were notable cleanliness concerns, particularly in the bathrooms, and some guests felt the accommodations did not meet their expectations based on the price and photos. Overall, while the atmosphere was pleasant, improvements in cleanliness and amenities are needed.AI-generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) The check in process was easy - the people are beyond friendly - the rooms are comfy (great bedding).
Cons (-) We booked too late to get a good price- we paid twice what our friends did.
Pros (+) Great location. Just steps from the beach. Great breakfast.
Cons (-) Uncomfortable bed, furniture looked worn/heavily used. The toilet and toilet seat were OLD. Like they probably didn't change it out when they bought and remodeled the place. The floor in the bathroom was disgusting - a woven grass cloth/vinyl. I'm sure it holds all the germs. Old metal shower doors were just painted over. Tv only had about 10 working channels. In general for what I paid, I definit...

Pros (+) Location. Staff friendly, they try to be helpful. Continental breakfast was generous, they need more tables and chairs for guest to sit, maybe more table for two. Towel/shower were separate from the sink. Generous assortment of toiletries. The décor was appealing but badly needs to be maintained. Nice glass desk. Glass side table was wobbly. Lots of hangers in closet. Nice big dresser could have u...
Cons (-) The room was not clean. Rooms are tired looking. All decks and walkways look dirty, need to be hosed down. Our reservation was for a double Queen with a Kitchenette (4 ladies). We were were given a King Kitchenette. After being persistent they moved us to a double Queen Kitchenette. No air-conditioning and our window opened up to the parking lot. Uhg! The beds are ok, very springy, the linins appe...

Pros (+) The manager, Frank, was pretty much the only highlight of the hotel.
Cons (-) The hotel was EXTREMELY HOT. Yes, Santa Barbara was having very humid weather, but the hotel was much hotter than the temperature outside. Be warned, this hotel has NO AIR CONDITIONING. I can guess that the walls are not insulated either. I have stayed at so many hotels in my life, from very very basic motels to high end hotels, and never in my life have I been to a hotel with no air conditioning....
