Older lodge, but clean and comfortable. The “gym” was more like an office with a few pieces of equipment, but overall it was a nice place to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness
We liked the location. Very walkable to restaurants and stores. It was clean even though old. The motel was okay for the price in Santa Barbara. Parking was difficult because so many construction workers were staying there with their huge trucks taking up the parking lot. Also, they all left VERY early in the morning and we could hear them leave.

The hotel was very well maintained and a great bargain in Santa Barbara. The room was extremely clean and large. The bathroom was very nicely laid out. Breakfast was very convenient and the property was in a great location in town. The property is older but that didn’t detract from anything during our stay.

Stayed here for 2 nights as a solo traveler and had a great experience. The hotel is older but very well maintained, and my room was spotless. I felt safe and comfortable the entire stay. Breakfast was basic but totally fine, plus there are plenty of great food options nearby. Check-in and check-out were both quick and easy. Would definitely stay again!
