Nice place. But very cheap with late check out. You have to pay for anything more than 12:00

Great stay!

After reading other reviews, I was a little nervous about picking this hotel. Everything turned out fine. Whatever construction had been happening is finished. We had no water pressure issues. The room was a little worn in spots, but clean and comfortable. The location can't be beat. A two-block walk to the beach and 30 minutes to the wharf. It is in a sweet, quiet neighborhood away from some of the hubbub. Is to get to by car and ample parking on site.

Amazing location

Such an amazing location. Directly across from East Beach. Room was large with high ceilings, decent sized kitchen. Smaller bathroom and a few small areas needing some repair but still a great value. Would book again!

near the beach Santa Barbara

The first room we were given wasn't clean or ready for us. it was a very small room with just a bed and television. This was the room for the special rate, having second thoughts about using your special rates in the future.

Not worth the money.

The rooms are very small. The staff was rude and wouldn’t provide us extra towels. The pool was very small and not well kept. The location is great.

everything was ok - check in, check out, stay. Except facts that: 1. there is a lack of sound insulation and we herd drunk people chatting downstairs like next room TV. 2. nobody was present at the reception at 9pm and we had to contact those people ourselves 3. very short breakfast time window
