My husband and I booked through the hotel's website a King room with ocean view. A few weeks before our visit I received a call telling me the room had been double booked, and we would be getting a Queen room with view. The manager did apologize, and offerred that the Queen did in fact have a better view, which... more

This is a beach-like motel. Nothing fancy, great price and great location. Very clean, extremely nice staff who were very helpful in every way. We would return. more

Well, I was very skeptical to stay here after reading some reviews, but they were about the only SB hotel that had space, since I booked very late and it was during Fiesta, Old Spanish Days. On those few days, all the SB hotels are practically double in price. The P C was reasonably priced. It IS very dated (1960's... more

If I could give this roach motel a lower rating I would. It was the worst motel stay I have ever experienced. It was overrun with college studets who were up partying most of the night. The manager was creepy and not helpful at all. He actually told us not to be afraid to confront the students ourselves when they... more

Pros: possible to stay only 1 night on a weekend and for less than $200/night in Santa Barbara, which is hard to find. Clean room and bathroom; comfortable bed. FYI on the night of Fri to Sat, a train chugged by and tooted twice (once late in the evening, once early in the morning); the freeway white noise was constant... more

This hotel is in a quiet East Beach neighborhood of apartments and a few hotels within walking distance to the zoo, park, 25 cent beach shuttle and of course, the beach. There is the East Beach Grill and a bicycle rental place nearby. I loved the organic market around the corner with fresh OJ and muffins. As for the hotel... more

I totally disagree with all the negative reviews on this site. I just got back from a lovey two day stay at the Pacific Crest Inn. I was a little tenative after reading earlier reviews. What I found was a very quaint little family owned inn a block from the beach. My room was clean and quiet. The linens appeared... more

Funnily enough looking at the earlier reports before leaving we had no intention of staying here, however as it was late and all the alternatives were full we had little choice. This is a very pleasant motel that offers few amenities or frills but which is conveniently located both for the centre and the ocean. Whilst I wouldn't necessarily choose... more
