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.

The staff Denise, Esmeralda and Jamie are wonderful. Very courteous, kind and helpful. The room was clean and my stay was amazing. Enjoyed walks on the beach, walk to the warf is about 20-25 mins., so many wonderful restaurant choices.

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.

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!

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.

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.

There is no sound insolation on the walls so you can hear everything around you. You can hear guests walking on the second level loudly and even conversations next door.

It was way more expensive than it was worth. The shower wasn’t clean, my wife had an allergic reaction to something in the room (seemed like a cat may have been there), the tv was very small, the internet was super slow and kept disconnecting, and not enough parking.

A very nice basic hotel. Pretty pool and a spotless facility. Rooms are small but totally workable. Super clean. The Internet isn’t the best but fine for a vacation trip. Neighborhood is very quiet and a short walk to the entertainment and restaurant district. Good for people who like a good buy and can forgive little things like spotty internet.

Nice hotel with walkable distance to dining options. The price for the hotel is higher than what we expected. We came in and slept 2 nights and it cost us $700. Yes its close yo the water but very costly.

This property does not have anyone on site after 9 PM. Unfortunately, for us on the second night of our stay our air-conditioning started making a noise that was so loud we could no longer stay in the room. It was around 9:30 at night when it started and we waited until around 11 hoping that the noise would resolve. At that point, I called the hotel and just received an answering machine. We had to leave to find someplace else to sleep. When I contacted the hotel the next day, they basically said that we should have called the number that is posted in their office which is closed. That phone number is not listed when you call the hotel phone number nor were we aware that it was posted in the lobby which I knew was closed.
We requested a refund for the second night and the front desk attendant agreed that the noise was still occurring and was not reasonable. After phone calls for about a week and a half the best they could offer was pay for one night and the second night free the next time.
Since the room was uninhabitable for sleep, and the phone number for the hotel did not redirect to an emergency line. I believe we should have been reimbursed for the second night.
I would recommend staying in a hotel that has staff overnight in case you have any issues. The types of air-conditioning these rooms have are the kind that are retrofitted and I guess they probably have issues quite a bit.
The noise was so loud you could hear it outside the room three doors down.

absolutely terrible stay from beginning. the bed broke 5 minutes after getting in the room and instead of switching my room, they took the mattress, put it on the floor with the sheet and flipped the bed base and put the mattress with the same sheets that were just on the floor back on the bed. so many things went wrong and on top of that i had to text the manager back and forth for all these issues instead of enjoying my trip. dirty sheets broken things just awful.

Staff were super friendly and accommodating of any requests. The cleanliness was above standards and they service the room everyday if you choose. Great pool area and a block from the beach and a nice restaurant. I would have loved having a comfy chair in the room. They are planning on a breakfast room which will be great and providing a bike would be lovely for those of us who take the train. I’ll be back
