Great stay

The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very basic and the coffee was not good, but there were coffee pods in the room so you could make your own. There were several restaurants nearby. It was easy to drive to nearby attractions.The front desk was very helpful.

Nice stay

Nice little hotel. Good value for the family two bedroom booking. Great price for Santa Barbara. The continental breakfast is nothing special but enough: breads, yogurt, oatmeal packets, bananas, and beverages.

Fantast location at a great value in Santa Barbara

The lodge is in an excellent area. Everything that we needed was very close; in fact, we were able to walk to a restaurant, which was very convenient. The room was exactly what I booked; I needed three beds at an affordable price, and I got it. It isn't easy to find three beds, which I find the most valuable. It will be my first choice if I return to Santa Barbara.
