Welcome to The Days Inn And Suites, in the Heart of Santa Barbara, now 100 Percent Non-Smoking. Located in downtown Santa Barbara on State Street, the Art Deco inspired hotel has been welcoming guests for more than 40 years. This vibrant part of the community is just a few blocks from the beach and offers a restful retreat after a day well-spent boutique-hopping through some of the countrys most upscale retail shops, touring the historic Santa Barbara Art-scape, catching a show at the Granada, Lobero or Arlington Theatres or simply doing nothing and soaking in some sun poolside. Daybreak breakfast is complimentary. Wireless internet is provided in all rooms and guest common areas. Rollaways available for some rooms for a 15 USD fee. Hotel has 2 covered parking garages and exterior parking lot that allows for bus or truck parking. We are currently renovating guestrooms and suites with an estimated completion in July 2013. All hotel services will remain accessible during this time.

Under Rennovation

The motel (yes motel) is under rennovation. There is a tent out front to check in, no lobby, ect... Lets just say that this is a motel where drunk college kids come to party. So if you dont care about sanatation, dont mind construction and want to drink beer with your neighbor then this is the spot for you. There are tons of other hotels in the area that are cheaper and of a higher quality. Spend the time and do the research.

Affordable comfort

The hotel is in a fun location on State Street near downtown. It is an older hotel, but well kept. The pool was nice and warm. The staff were great and it was a good bargain for the location

Clean and Great Value

This isn't a luxury resort, but I can't imagine a better hotel for the money. The rooms were huge, quiet and clean, the staff was friendly and the price was economical. We had read other reviews and were expecting something OK - but were pleasantly surprised. The carpets were extremely clean and looked to be no more than a couple months old.

Decent place in a good location

The staff was friendly and the location is good. The maid service is great, the rooms are very clean. They are also well furnished, though a bit small. There were only a few problems. For some reason, the cable kept going in and out, and likewise for the wi-fi, so that sometimes I had to go downstairs to the lobby to get internet access. Other than that I was happy.

Fun Weekend in SB

Although the Days Inn lacks curb appeal, this hotel is in a perfect location and has everything you need. The room was huge and the pool area was amazing. It is also within walking distance to all the hot spots on state street.

Very Relaxing

Staff was great, bed was so comfortable and it was so quiet and I was able to get a good night's rest. Will definitely be going back.

Take the trolley to O'Malley's on State Street for some great live Irish music on Sunday and Tuesday nights. Had a blast!

Overpriced and outdated motel with good location

The reservation from the third party vendor didn't indicate the proper address on the print out so we arrived at the other Days Inn which is located on the beach. This particular motel is very ordinary and very run down with drunken bums sleeping in front - we were happy to hear from the friendly manager that we were at the wrong place. Unfortunately 1.6 miles later our hopes had vanished. Although the location is nice bear State street, the Days Inn is extremely outdated with very old room. The mildew smell is unbearable and the A/C unit is extremely noisy and inefficient. The night was unrestful. The breakfast is a joke - 5 pastries with some coffee warmers doesn't qualify as Breakfast - this is a snake yet a complimentary service that most places have. Holliday Inn Express and Best western Plus where we have stayed at the last couple of nights before all did better with a full warm breakfast at the same price. The only elevator is very slow and congested due to 3 floors sharing one machine. Take the stairs if you are up for it. The layout of the swimming pool is good. Rooms should be prices at 99$ and below not 150$ +. Yes it is in downtown Santa Barbara but the room has no charm and the outdated furnitures and bathroom gives a feeling of filth. The room was not actually dirty or stained but very unwelcoming. Definitely a room where a death row inmate sleeps. Pass your way and book something else in Santa Barbara - the city is incredible and beautiful but this Days inn certainly not. Staff was standard for this category - unremarkable but to the point. They didn't make us feel wanting to stay more but the room had already taken care of that anyway.

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

Take a walk to the Wharf about 25-30 min from the hotel straight down to The Crab House - amazing meal for a good price with a beautiful view of the pier. Lots of nice bar and restaurant along State Street - leave your car in the garage and walk downtown. Best thing we did was to stay out as much as possible from this rat-hole.

Not good for the value they are charging

The hotel charged occupancy tax which they could have been told to the customers in front.

Below average

Upon arrival we were given keys to a room already occupied. Understaffed and not impressive. Continental breakfast was weak coffee and stale buns.

Awful hotel, not to Santa Barbara Standard

My wife and I stayed one night at this hotel. First of all, we woke up with flea bites, which tells us the rooms are not adequately cleaned. The bed was hard as a rock, and not comfortable to sleep in. The hotel-stay supposedly included breakfast, which consisted of a choice of stale pastries. We will never stay at this hotel again, and will warn others not to. This is a disgrace to the standard of quality you would expect from a hotel in Santa Barbara.
