    Positive Reviews

    positive:

    Location couldn’t be any better.

    Great views and an ocean breeze are enjoyed by guests of this motel, which is located across the street from the beach. It is also in a great spot to visit the pier or just get around the Santa Barbara area without the need of a car.

    positive:

    Guestrooms are described as clean and cosy.

    Each of the private rooms has plenty of space to stretch out in, according to guest reviews. They are also cleaned thoroughly so everyone is able to be comfortable during their stay.

    positive:

    Rates are reasonable for the area.

    Considering the location of this motel, the price for a room is surprisingly budget friendly. It is a good choice for people visiting the area without much money as rates here typically beat area competitors.


    Negative Reviews

    negative:

    Property is rundown and tired looking.

    This motel doesn’t have the best outward appearance. Outdated decor and furnishings give it a rundown feeling, along with numerous small maintenance issues including broken doorknobs and busted lights.

    negative:

    Service is not that great.

    Receiving front desk service can be a challenge as the motel’s office isn’t open at all hours. If a staff member is found during these times, the employees are generally rude and agitated, according to online comments.

    negative:

    Finding a place for vehicles is hard.

    Not much parking is available onsite at the motel, and those spaces can be fairly tight. Getting a spot in the area away from the motel is almost impossible as well.
