I was a little disappointed in the room - no decor/style, zero view! Looked in the windows of other vacant rooms that were a little nicer (one with a corner fireplace.) Walkway right outside the window didn't allow open curtains. Frank, the resident manager made the stay worthwhile. Met other lovely guests at breakfast.

If you are ever in the Santa Barbara area and need a clean, quiet, and totally enjoyable hotel pick this one. The manager was more helpful than any place I have stayed before.
He goes out of his way to help you in any manner. The continental breakfast exceeds any thing you could wish for.
Okay for an "inexpensive" hotel

Let me say that the on-site manager, Frank, was engaging, interesting, and extremely helpful. That said, I was disappointed that there was no A/C in the rooms and my room must have been 85+ degrees when I entered after check-in in the evening. The room cooled off overnight, but I wouldn't want to have been there during the day. The rooms are simple, somewhat low-budget, clean but nothing exciting. One nice plus is that they provide free parking, internet access, continental breakfast, and bottled water. The small pool closed at 9:00 PM, a little earlier than what I'm used to.

My friend and I did a San Francisco to San Diego Trip. This little motel was perfectly situated for a mid point stop. The rooms was clean and comfortable, with a kitchen and fireplace. The high point of the stay was the manager, Frank Santana. He was one of the most charming characters I have met in years. He sincerely cared abut your stay and was helpful in providing info regarding Santa Barbara. The complimentary breakfast was great. It is definitley a return spot.
Definitely Would Return!!

I booked my stay at this hotel by revieiwing the comments posted by other travelers on this very website. When we first arrived I was skeptical by the outward appearance. Don't be...this place is definitely worth it, great value for the money. Upon arrival they provided S.B brochures, pamphlets, etc. Frank the owner is great; very nice and always willing to offer advice or tips for traveling, where to go, etc. The continental breakfast way exceeded my expectations. They had fresh baked goods (muffins, bagels, etc) delivered every morning; along with juices and coffee. The rooms were extremely clean and offered a refridgerator and microwave. We were only one block from the beach, about a mile from the pier, and roughly 1.5 miles from downtown. Couldn't beat the location for the price. Free parking is also a much appreciated added bonus. If you're interested, they've also got a pool which was small, but clean.
