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.

Stop off in Santa Barbara

Great motel and the two bedroom family was spacious. Breakfast could be chaotic dependent on the time you went at, basic but did the job. Just couldn’t imagine staying much longer and eating breakfast every morning, but was ok for our 3 night stay. Never got to use the pool as always busy in the evenings. Good location.

Everything about the property was great. We didn’t have any major complaints. It just was a bit too loud with kids running around screaming but that’s not the properties faults.
