The location was great, the staff were fine, the pool was a bit run down and not the cleanest, the breakfast was fair, but the carpet in the room was older and appeared dirty. Overall however, a great deal for the price we got through web as Santa Barbara is notoriously overpriced for everything. This was cheaper than going directly to the hotel web site and or calling them to reserve, even the receptionist suggested online reservations would always be cheaper.

I would stay here again!
I though this hotel was much nicer in person than on the website. Its in a good spot. The only downside was a staff member that was so rude when I asked him about parking, and the parking on Fri/Sat nights. He was the only rude staff member. I would stay here again. My friends and I liked this hotel :) I should have complained about that rude staff memevet because he really is the only downside to my experience here.

Perfectly good choice for a quick stay
I was just in Santa Barbara overnight and wanted a reasonably-priced motel. This one fit the bill - I had a room near the back which was very quiet and comfortable. The staff were helpful and had a cab waiting for me (early, even) at the ungodly hour when I had to leave for the airport. It wasn't as close to the airport as other options, but quite a bit cheaper, and at 4:30 a.m. the airport ride only took 20 minutes.
