Cute and cozy
It was a cute and cozy stay. The bed and sheets were very comfy. Everything you need for a stay. It was very clean, which we appreciated. However, our room was closer to the street, and you could hear the cars going by sometimes which could be really annoying to some people.

Small and charming hotel near downtown SB.
This is a lovely little hotel. I wish we'd discovered it sooner. Very nice management, spacious rooms with character. I intend to return within the year.

Great value small hotel. Perfect for 1 or 2 travelers. All the basic amenities, clean beds, easy check in. This place will be my go-to hotel when traveling for work alone. Very fair rate for what you get.

Agave Inn, cute & simple
The Agave Inn is a cute renovated motel. The room was very clean with cute and simple decor. For a one nighter is was great. The street gets through the walls, so you can hear people talking while walking to their rooms late at night. Other than that, check-in is quick and simple. There is a number-pad instead of physical keys. You are walking distance to a few restaurants, and only a mile or so away from many more. Parking is very limited on the property, but there is street parking. I would stay here again if I am in the area.
