The room was very small, but it was clean and what we needed to lay our heads down before a very early flight out of SBA. I wouldn't want to just stay here for vacation, but for a night time sleep, it was just what we needed.

It would be nice if there were a few more towels, and if the bath towels were a little bigger. This is a basic motel. It serves the purpose and is fine for short, simple stays.

If you are just looking for a bed and a bathroom this is a good place to stay. I would book early so you don’t pay more than $100.
