The staff was very friendly, check-in was easy and we were offered a bigger room for free. The room was nice and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The bed was very comfortable and the room was quite (however we did have a room that wasn’t right by the street). Parking at the Inn is limited, but there are good options that work just as well.

I never write reviews but for this one I will… It was by far the cleanest hotel on my month long roadtrip to the USA. It got everything you need, a pool, a walk-inn shower instead of a bath tub nobody uses. Free parking and good breakfast opportunities in walking distance. 7/11 next door…. It should have 3 stars or more instead of 2

    The outside of this motel is a little shabby but other than that it's a great place to stay in Santa Barbara without spending an arm and a leg!
