Compassionate Check-in

The Lady Proprietor at the hotel was very kind while assiting me with a challenge when I was checking in. This compassionate event made my stay very comforting. Thank you for you kindness.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and good price.
Zach, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

not required

For a very 'humble' motel, it was adequet for a night's sleep; I would strongly suggest the the Santa Barbara sunset Motel replace the thin curtains with 'black out' curtains as the morning sun woke us up at 7am.
Lupe, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

If your expectations are low…

Rooms were small. Not enough plugs for charging. Needs upgrades.

The room was clean as well as the whole property. My family & I felt safe & comfortable during our time there.

Calm place to stay at but parking lot did get full and couldn’t find a place to park.

Was very good nice people nice clean
Giuseppe, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was very clean, and better than the 2 star ratings I expected. Some minor upgrades to the bathroom would raise its standing. The location on a busy street has some issues with noise, but overall a good location and facility for a short stay.
Dennis, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room is too dusty and smelly.

2/10 Poor

My family and I booked a last minute hotel. Please don’t book here. It was cheap but you really do get what you pay for. There was mold in the ceiling, the doors and walls had chipped paint, the floor board looked rotten, the walls and floors were dirty, and the receptionist was rude. No breakfast was included and it was so noisy until past midnight. We really wanted to leave but we were so exhausted. Dave your money and book elsewhere !
Raul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great option

We were here for a wedding from out of state and we saved hundreds by staying at this motel instead of some of the places that the rest of the wedding stayed at. We were actually surprised how cute, clean, and comfortable it was. Safe area, parking was easy. Would 100% stay here again.
Briana, 2-night trip

Similar price to the Motel 6 across the street but way nicer, quieter and friendlier staff.

2/10 Poor

Scammed

Scammed Out of My Money – Dishonest Management booked a room at Sunset Hotel Santa Barbara but had my wallet stolen shortly before arriving. When I showed up, the owner refused to let me check in without a physical ID (understandable), but told me I would be refunded since I couldn’t stay. A few days later, I followed up—and she completely changed her story, claiming that because I didn’t “cancel,” she held the room and kept the payment. I never even set foot in the room, and she refused to honor her original promise of a refund.

The lady didn't even blink when a drink was spilled in the lobby
Scott, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean room! Lady who check us in was helpful did a quick upgrade. Nice and quiet area. When I ask why the room didn't get service next day a guy told me I have to call and request it. Very awkward!I just ask for 2 more towels and left. You shouldn't ask for service, it should have been included!
Agustín, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

overall 5 star rating for the value. staff was friendly and although the building was dated, it did provide a kithenette, nice pool / hottub, and unlimited supply of sheets and towels. area itself was convenient but seemed "questionable" even though surrounding property prices are sky high.
