The room was clean and tidy, the facilities were practical, and it was a short walk (about 10-15 minutes) from the city center, which was very convenient.

Limited parking. Was told the vacant lot adjacent to the motel (yes, it’s a motel, not a hotel) was “park at your own risk.” I had to park on the street.

This property is a quaint motel within just a few minutes of downtown and the Santa Barbara Bowl. Great location and accommodations with convenient parking, and sun deck to enjoy the weather.

I’m not sure how this place got so many rave reviews. The hotel is very run down. The room was very dark and stuffy. I didn’t sleep the first night because there were so many noisy air conditioners running. We didn’t use ours because when we turned it on it seemed to just start circulating allergens. The bed was quite comfortable but the shower wasn’t great. The location is good. Front desk person was very nice.

Not a well thought out shower. The shower is eight feet high! No way to reach to adjust the angle. Your hair will get wet if you don’t use a shower cap which is not provided. The water temperature is less than body temperature - tepid at best. Disappointing.
