We had a great experience at this motel. It is a budget motel for this area but don't be deterred by this. We had an extremely comfortable experience and it was renovated and very clean. If I am in the area again, I will stay here. Steps from the beach to watch the sunset. Comfortable bed. Very nice experience here!

It was really clean and the room has fun beach decor. The towels were a bit worn but everything else was perfect. It is super close to the beach and Santa Barbara pier which was very nice. It does not feel like a motel 6 at all!

Santa Barbara on a Budget

All around, this it a solid choice for a brief visit to Santa Barbara. Although our room was not ready when we arrived, the staff at check-in did their best to make up for the slight delay by offering us a complimentary bottle of wine. The room was very clean.
