This hotel is clearly a remodeled motel and the rooms feel a little small. Great breakfast and cute overall. Great location

Comfortable and great location

We enjoyed the harbor view room with a balcony. Comfortable and spacious room! Great location to the harbor and warf. We appreciated the permitted parking lot which had an EV charger for our rental car. We would stay here again!

We were only in SB for a short visit but it did not disappoint. Our room had a view of the marina/pier. It was clean and comfortable to come back to after walking all over the marina. The sunrise the next morning was beautiful! Will be back!

A great stay!

We were warmly greeted by front desk staff and were surprised and delighted to be offered a complimentary 5 PM happy hour of wine, cheese, and grapes. The room was clean, quiet, modern, and comfortable. There were two large seating areas available in the poolside courtyard, both very lovely and well maintained. The hotel is conveniently located near many food options. The complimentary breakfast buffet was varied, delicious, and there was an attentive staff member there to make sure that the area was tidy and that fresh food was available.

Excellent location just across the street from the boat harbour and within a couple of blocks of both Leadbetter beach (and a beach cafe) and the beginning of the main shopping and eating district of downtown Santa Barbara. While it's a modest motel type hotel, it is clean, well-run with a lovely pool and tasty breakfast service.

Staff was friendly. Upon arrival we always check the room before bringing our belongings in. At this hotel the door was ajar. Although the room appeared clean we went back to the front desk told them and requested another room, which they did. Prior to going out I checked the windows and they were all unlocked. The following morning we discovered ants in the bathroom. All of these things were reported when we checked out.
