We stayed for Labor Day weekend. It was decent for the time being. Staff was helpful and check-in/out was fast! Wish the pillows were a little more comfy. Other than that, a pretty good bargain hotel for the price!

This is a great find! Conveniently located on State St just a quick $15 ride to the local nightlife. Very clean, smelled great. Easy check in, safe area, super comfy hybrid mattress beds (better than my bed at home). Our rooms both had private "porches" with a table & chairs. Very nice to have. The bathrooms are updated with shower stalls done in a swanky dark tiling...easy to get in when you don't exactly NEED accessible but stepping into a tub is a bit tough. Front desk staff was helpful and kind. Will definitely stay here again

Second time staying here in two different sized rooms. For the price in Santa Barbara it is nice. Beds are comfy, pool was small but kids loved it, and it is walkable but a bit long getting back uphill after a long day with littles. If doing it again we would walk all the way down and get a ride back up the hill. Staff was super friendly!
