We were scheduled to stay in another hotel in SB and called to confirm our reservation as we were at the airport in NYC. The first hotel, El Prado, lost our reservation, which was rather unfortunate considering it was memorial day weekend, so they said they'd call around to see if something was available. While we were in the air... more

We spent three nights here and found it clean, pleasant and convenient. The staff was very responsive to a minor plumbing problem we had. The free breakfast featured fresh baked goods and fruit as well as yogurt and the standard items. We can recommend this facility without reservation and will stay there on our next trip to beautiful Santa Barbara. more

Only place we could find at a reasonable cost $76.50 for 2 double beds. Place is definitely very old but our room was clean. Access to the propery is tricky because of the location at an intersection and a very steep sharp angle to turn in. As we were visiting the Mission it proved to be quite handy. 6/10 more

This property is actually a rather crummy 1960's era motel at the wrong end of town which somehow managed to get a Quality franchise. Needless to say, small, grubby smelly rooms, broken tiles in the bathrooms, 50 year-old windows, and everything else you shudder to think about when you are travelling. Continental breakfast was dismal, consisting mainly of cellophane-wrapped sweet... more

It's a MOTEL. Don't expect the bells and whistles. You get what you pay for. Upside: Clean, Quiet & Good Location (right off of State and De La Vina). Downside: Older Building & Furnishings, Bad Wireless Internet Connection, Breakfast. if you're just passing through and don't want to spend a fortune, this place would work. But keep in mind that... more

I stay at Choice Hotel properties a majority of the nights that I travel and I found this property to be below standard for the name. The place is old and should be remodeled. The beds were on the hard side but I've had worse. I called the hotel in advance and requested a microwave in the room but when... more

Do not book on-line. I booked online from an airport, could not print a confirmation, cancelled the hotel the same day and ended up getting charged for the room anyway. The hotel mysteriously had a record of my reservation but no record of my cancellation - go figure. I tried to cancel the payment through my credit card company, but... more

Lets get this out of the way first: Cons: This is a motel not a hotel. Older building with small rooms and bathrooms. Pros: Pride of ownership, recently remodled rooms, great location, a bargin at under $100 based on other Santa Barbara hotel pricing. My four star rating is not comparing it to a Hoiliday Inn or other more expensive... more
