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.

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.

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.

Ok stay but no internet

Sep 2024

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.

Great location, EH stay. You can walk to the beach & zoo. Less than a 10min drive to State St or Funk Zone, must see areas of SB. You can hear the pipes when people shower, bed super springy, wifi was TERRIBLE, no AC (thank god the heat wave just ended). Pictures showed must've been from when they first opened.

Numerous issues with the room. Very loud parties at night and no staff of premises which was a huge issue for numerous reasons. I will say that management was very responsive when I shared my horrible experience after the stay and I do appreciate that.

We had a great one night stay. The room was huge and had all the amenities we needed. We were a little concerned that there was no air con but the ceiling fan was great and the tenperature cooled down nicely at night so no issues. The grab and go breakfast was a great addition.

NOT worth the price and honestly feels like a scam. At almost $300/night you get no air conditioning (come on it’s 2024) and WiFi that’s barely working (disconnecting and 1-2Mbps). When I brought it up to the front desk, their response was “unfortunately SB has an internet monopoly and it doesn’t work well anywhere when it’s a busy weekend.” This is joke. Anywhere else we went with WiFi worked just fine. This hotel limits or doesn’t want to invest in their WiFi for customers and charge them an arm and leg anyway. The rooms are poorly kept. I’ve added photos of what our room looked like. I feel like we got completely cat fished so posting these photos for everyone to see before they book. Because there is no air conditioning, you have no choice but to open your windows and hear everything that’s going on outside: people walking right in front of your room windows, car alarms going off, etc. We were booked to be there for 2 nights but ended up checking out a day early because it was hot and not comfortable. They still charged me and I did not get a refund for anything. While I understand “policy”, if your accommodations are not up to par and people keep reviewing as such, it begins to feel like this place is intentionally scamming people. Just know what you’re getting into. If you want a place near the beach to crash in the evening (again is it worth $300?) it’ll work. But if you need to get ready for a wedding at 3pm in your room, be prepared to sweat while doing so.

Aug 2024

Did not enjoy our room location at all. We were right next to the gate to the pool and needless to say the noise from that plus people hanging out on the outside furniture was not ideal. No blinds on the window just curtains that we had to keep shut since our window was right at the pool. The room itself was fine. Just not an ideal location for 2 adults on a getaway.

Aug 2024

Great experience, there is parking on the street for free but if you want you can pay 15 for hotel parking. Beach walking distance and restaurants near. For those that have kids, the beach also has a small park. Fireplace added nicely to the ambiance :) No AC as other stated but doesn’t get too hot there that often. Coffee in the AM and packaged pastry items. Big vanity area to get ready. Definitely would stay again especially in cooler months 🤗

Excellent location close to East beach, nice pool, large bedroom and kitchen area. Our room was next to rear exit gate to car park, whenever the gate was closed the room reverberated which wasn't great, especially at night time.

Our room in some ways was nicer than anticipated - the bedding and having a larger room were great and it was a huge bonus to have a kitchen. But, the kitchen and the bathroom, while both technically clean, were older and thus looked a bit grimey. The primary issue was with our upstairs neighbors who came home after midnight with a kid who seemed to be doing laps around the room - felt like he was stomping on our heads. I would stay here again but in an upper room - however, the front desk said the upstairs rooms are only one king bed, and we need two beds when travelling as a family. Otherwise, LOVE the location and the look of the motels on this street. Being able to walk a block to the beach is priceless and the market on the corner is amazing.

Don’t stay here. Could not check in until 1 1/2 hours late because the cleaning crew literally preferred to gossip and lounge around instead of cleaning. Watched them take their sweet time it was so rude. Front desk lady couldn’t give us a courtesy call for an eta and seemed intimidated to approach the cleaning crew. Not worth the price.

Stay was ok. You’re paying for the location which was great. Towels and sheets were stained. It seems like they did a very superficial remodel but everything was outdated. Don’t let the pictures fool you.

Everything was good. There was sand on the floor in our room 119. Nice rooms with fireplace and soft color blue inside. Would be nice if there were bagels and cream cheese in the morning like it says on the website. There’s a toaster but nothing to toast. Other than that it’s in a great location.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! I cannot believe this property has decent reviews. We booked 4 nights here. The minute we walked into our room we knew it had severe mold. Not only was the musty smell unbearable, but because I'm sensitive to mycotoxins, my body alerted me as well. My eyes immediately started watering, I got a headache, and was sneezing. The receptionist at the front desk was very nice and didn't remotely act surprised when I came back to complain about the mold. She said, "yes, I know what you mean" and explained they also don't have AC which contributes to the problem being so close to the coast. We left and paid double last minute at another hotel in the West Beach area. The manager would not fully refund me and charged me for one night despite all this which I'm disgusted by. Yes, it's very affordable compared to other nearby motels and that should have alerted me that something was wrong here! Just pay a little more and stay elsewhere. PS- I lived in Santa Barbara for 5 years and have stayed at most all these smaller hotels in East West beach. They are ALL better than this one including Motel 6.

Very lovely hotel. Upstairs room. Gorgeous. Loved the shiplap ceilings with the fan. I felt like I was in a bungalow by the beach. Can see the ocean from the hotel. Soo close to the beach. Very short walk. 5 minutes to the beach.

Very cool ambiance! Very nice pool. Very cute and quiet. Just a couple minute walk to the beach, but you’ll get tar on your feet in the ocean. Our only issue was the AC units in the rooms didn’t keep the rooms as cool as we wanted. Will definitely go back.

Good budget option in Santa Barbara. No frills (including AC) but can’t beat the price for a good location near the beach. Would not suggest it during a summer heatwave but it was comfortable sleeping with windows open with temps in 60’s
