It was beautiful to wake up at the beach location every day. We had a longer stay so the staff gave us a balcony to see the sunrise each morning. We also brought our dog and were thankful the hotel accommodated that. We highly recommend this hotel.

Great motel located across from the beach
Great location!!! Room was very spacious and had a full kitchen. The motel is quite old and run down and could use a refresh but the location and size of rooms you can’t beat. It’s dog friendly also.

What a delightful find in way expensive Santa Barbara. The Inn was quaint and we loved the retro colors and interior themes. We had a suite which was roomy and comfortable with a full kitchen, fireplace, balcony and flat screen TV. it would be ideal for someone or a small family on a budget that was staying in SB for several days. The zoo was literally in the backyard and only a two minute walk to East Beach. We'll be back!

No wifi
I don’t usually leave bad reviews, but there was absolutely no wifi in my room. Wifi is pretty basic for a hotel. Also, the walls are very thin so I had to listen to a couple making out one of the nights. Other than those 2 things the hotel is ok.

No internet connection / bad wi-fi
The staff was friendly, the fireplace in the room was cool, and the property was dated but clean. But I can't give this hotel more than a 1-star review because of the internet. They promised wi-fi so I booked this hotel as part of a remote work trip. The wi-fi was not functional. The connection didn't work on my phone either, to the point where it would take 20 minutes to load any image that someone would text to me or to look up restaurants/coffee shops to visit. When I asked the front desk person about it, they said it's "just a Santa Barbara problem," but I've never encountered it at another hotel before. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to work remotely, or even just use their phone in their room.

The location is great, the rooms are ok and the person at the reception is very nice and helpful. The main issue we faced was noise. If you are not on the top floor you will hear very loud steps and noises from above. Also if you have noisy neighbors you will hear everything.
