There is only one negative comment about this property, it's got the tiniest and tightest parking lot possibly in all of Santa barbara. If you have an suv, be sure that you are comfortable maneuvering in tight spaces. But that is the most minimal of nitpicky comments that one could make. The room was clean and nice. The staff was extremely helpful. The location was incredible. Right by the ocean and close to state street. I love Santa Barbara and we found this place on accident and I will definitely be back.

We stayed one night on our way north to Monterey from San Diego and can say that, for the price, this is an excellent place to stay. The rooms are not large but the bathroom and shower were spacious and excellent. The breakfast included was quite adequate. The area around the motel is safe and beautifully maintained.
