Stayed at this hotel with a few friends recently - all 30 something. I say this because there were a lot to college students/summer travellers here. No issues with them though. Rooms are very basic and not the most clean they could be. Saw a few ants and a huge spider web on the sink, so whoever was supposed to... More

We booked the Orange Tree Inn based on other TripAdvisor ratings - oh dear a mistake on this occasion. Our room felt like a cheap, low class 'motel' and as the night unfolded our worst expectations were met. On returning from dinner we found a large ute backed up under our room with people drinking beer. This was 11.30 at... More

This place is typical of a motel,nothing fancy and no extras. There were noises at night which seemed like coming from a nearby bar. Though the staff were friendly and provided prompt service, it was not worth paying the price. The price I paid was similar to that of other good hotels that I've stayed in Santa Barbara. I would...

If we were staying longer, we would have chosen a more upscale place but this was more than o.k. for one night. Check in/out was fast and easy. Rooms were clean and had all the basic amenities (+ a coffee maker). Great location too. The only thing I didn't like was the bed. Super stiff! Also, this place seemed to... More

On a coast drive we were looking for a cheap place to stay for one night (Monday). We looked at SEVERAL other hotels in this area before deciding on this one. We even looked at several rooms in this place before deciding on one. Mike at the front desk was very professional, kind, and accommodating. I don't remember which room... More

We stayed for a night with my husband and little daughter. The room was spacious, the TV was free, the internet was free also but dosn`t work. There was a cafe maker and it was pleasure for us to have a coffee before living in the morning.

We stayed here for a night on our way down to San Diego. Check in was straight forward and quick. Room was ok, bigger than expected. There was a disgusting foul smell in the bathroom though, as if there was a sewage leak somewhere. When we first arrived the room smelt very strongly of bleach, I guess that was to... More

After a long drive down Highway 1 from Monterey, we arrived late the night of our reservation. Front desk was quick and courteous. Average room to the say the least - but for the price not too shabby at all. The size of the room was actually surprisingly large. Not a bad place to stay for a night or two.
