“A clean and comfortable place walking distance from the beach. The main city center of Santa Barbara is about a 15 minutes walk away. Breakfast was very simple. Parking was also included in the room rate. Also enjoyed the layout of the Hotel with a comfortable community area to sit outside and socialize.”
“Very relaxing and very nice of them acknowledging my husbands 60th Birthday
Justin was very helpful”
“I never write reviews but for this one I will…
It was by far the cleanest hotel on my month long roadtrip to the USA. It got everything you need, a pool, a walk-inn shower instead of a bath tub nobody uses.
Free parking and good breakfast opportunities in walking distance.
7/11 next door….
It should have 3 stars or more instead of 2”
