The room was clean, the staff were friendly, the air conditioning worked well, and there was plenty of parking available. It’s not a luxury hotel, but considering the price, it offers good value for the money. Overall, it was a reasonable and comfortable stay.

There were a lot of construction workers staying here. Initially I was concerned that there would be a lot of noise but there was not. I asked for an interior facing room (to avoid early morning vehicle noise) and slept well. The place is basic but clean and a great value. Would stay again.

I stayed here with my family while we were visiting Santa Barbara. The location of the hotel was good. However, we got no house keeping visits, my room was cleaned once during my 5-day stay. I would not recommend staying here at all.
