Location! Location! Location!

The motel was a little worn and rundown but nothing we couldn't handle and the LOCATION was absolutely perfect. Beautiful views and a VERY SHORT walk to Stearns Wharf and State Street. I would --- and WE WILL --- stay here again!

Be sure to visit Stearns Wharf and take a long walk up and down State Street both during the day and at night.

Never again

This motel was dirty and in disrepair. The bathroom was so bad that we did not shower. Got up in morning and straight out the door. It was gross.

great last minute booking

i had a great experience here! staff was super sweet and accommodating as ever. awesome location - i was able to walk everywhere i needed to go downtown on state street and in the area. it's right across from the wharf and has a patio to hang out on and enjoy the view of the beach. it is a motel so be prepared that it doesn't look new or have modern designs. i was also able to bring my dog with me which isn't that easy to find last minute in SB.

Ala Mar Motel - DO NOT STAY HERE !!!!

Wow !!! I learned my lesson ... I read some reviews before going and still thought to myslef, I am not a high maintenance person, I don't need much to make me happy, but I guess there is ONE thing that I FOR SURE need and that is a air conditioner in 80 degree weather !!!!! That was the most awful experience EVER !!!! And for $300 - That is criminal to charge that much and not have air conditioning. WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN !!!! NEVER !!!!

Dirtbag of a place

Had to stay here on holiday weekend, total waste of money. A serious trash bag of a place. How they pass inspection is beyond me. Way below acceptable. Do not stay here!!!

A real dump

i thought I was in the interior of Mexico by the side of a cowpath with this place. Seriously bad news. Major money for a place that should not be in business. Old decrepit room, with mice running around. My advice is stay away from this place at all cost.

family visit

This place is below par! You shouldn't book anyone into it! I would not recommend it! Unplated receptacle, broken door trim, non-working ceiling fan,etc. You should not book again!
