My husband and I have traveled all over the country and stayed at a variety of hotels. We are your average american couple so we are not talking $500> per night hotels but you know Hyatts, Hiltons, Marriots places like that. We look for clean and safe places. Never do we look at "motels", but in this particular case our... More

First of all, I would come again to Presidio Motel. The rooms are clean and there is everything you need. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Also very nice are the free bikes. But you can rent them only until 7pm. The only issue is the shower. The possition of the showerhead is on the ceiling in the middle.... More

I learned to not judge a book by it's cover with the Presidio Motel. We traveled the PCH on a budget, but just happened to stay in the best hotel I've ever been to the night before arriving in Santa Barbara. I definitely was iffy pulling up to Presidio based on it's outward appearance BUT the room we had was... More

Newly renovated. Perfect location to downtown. The rate was great, the people who owned it learned all the names of our party within a few minutes and addressed us by name during our stay. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have stayed in. Wish I could take it with me. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

The Presidio is a basic, old-fashioned motel but it's been partially renovated and is very clean. Don't stay here if you want luxury or even special. But if you're okay sleeping in a big empty box that's clean and without any extra frills at all, then what else do you need, especially at a great rate for downtown Santa Barbara.... More

Great hotel for the price. It's simple, but clean and has everything you need for a night. Rooms have been recently renovated and new bed/linens. New Flat screen tv. Good heating. Good location in the Main Street of SB!

Me and a friend of mine did a road trip all the way from Canada. We stayed at many hotels along the way and I must say this place gave us a peace of mind. The rooms very comfortable, clean, quiet and the decor was very friendly.The new owners of the hotel were kind, friendly and went the extra mile... More

We have reservations for two nights during a Roadtrip over the New Year break. We booked The Presidio Motel as it looked to be a little different and kitschy. The website explains that they are transitioning to new management however the bulk of the website remains unrepresentative of the uniquely decorated rooms that no longer exist. I can only describe... More

A friend of mine and I drove down Route 1, and in Santa Barbara we stayed at the Presidio Motel. Every room has different artwork on it. We had a beautiful room, perfectly suiting with the disco ball, for my friend and I. It was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, and a huge room. Very fun... More
