Once you get over the fact that this place is not an "inn" but rather an older motel, you will discover that it has a lot of advantages, the most obvious being its location across from the harbor and close to State Street. The bathrooms have been updated nicely and have an operable window, which is a rare feature in... More

Great, great location! And we got a good deal on our room from calling and comparing prices with the other hotels/inns nearby. We had a nice room overlooking the Santa Barbara beach and pier which I roller skated on every morning. The grounds were clean, and the pool area (small but goes 8 ft deep), and front desk were well... More

The hotel looks great and they have morning continental breakfast plus eveing wine and cheese. Pool and Hot Tub are beautiful and kept clean. The Grarden View rooms are thin walled and not very comfortable. The chairs is the rooms are not as comfortable as the chairs by the pool. If you have a bad back, or don't want one,... More

This is an older property. Probably from the 1950's or 60's. However, the location is the best if you want to be right on the Santa Barbara harbor at a very reasonable price. More

If it weren't for the rude staff I would have recommended this place. It was a small room but nicely remodeled. Nice little courtyard with pool, hot tub. Great location across from beach and not noisy at all. Unfortunately they had painters working on the place when I woke up in the morning. They even taped up and had tarped... More

We stayed for 3 nights and had a lovely stay. We had a renovated/updated room by the sounds of it, as other people have mentioned that their rooms could have been more updated. Our room was on the small side but bright, modern and clean with lovely crisp linens on the bed and flat screen tv, Breakfast is pretty decent,... More

Stayed on the second floor with a sea view and balcony. The hotel is across the road from the beach. The road was not busy and crossing was very easy and safe. The room could have done with a little updating but was adequate. Didn't get the chance to use the pool but it appeared clean and well maintained. Breakfast... More

Stayed overnight; arrived late and left early. The room was clean, bed was comfortable. room was quiet. Other people in our group stayed at comparable hotel one block removed from the beach for 35% less. Breakfast was coffee, yogurt, fruit,bagel basics. Overall OK but basic for the price. More

Pros: Nicely updated rooms, comfortable beds, large bathroom, short walk to State Street and very close to the Wharf, almost half the cost of other places we have stayed in SB for almost the same amenities Cons: Had a room located on the first level---would hear wheeling of housekeeping carts and people's luggage during the earl morning. Wall unit AC/Heat---woke... More
