Very bad experience! There is a room behind their hotel that anyone can reach, without any protection. It's like a room remodeled in a garage, very small and without windows. We wanted to cancel and get a refund. We spent over three hours negotiating with the hotel and Expedia. The hotel said that if Expedia didn't cancel, they would show no rooms available and couldn't book for others, so they couldn't refund. But Expedia's reply was that they couldn't cancel if the hotel didn't agree to refund. It was a dead loop. I was skeptical about Expedia's control and description of the hotel. During the two hours I waited at the front desk, someone came to ask and they said no room available. Also, during the two-hour wait, Expedia kept saying they were calling the hotel, but the front desk told me no calls came in from Expedia at all.

The hotel is very near to the beach (walkable distance) and the Santa Barbara zoo is also walkable from the hotel. The kitchen and amenities in the kitchen (including a few utensils that were provided in the kitchen) was a pleasant surprise. One thing that we didn’t like was the washroom size. It was very small and without a bathtub. Apart from that, the rooms were spacious, the front desk staff was courteous. There was ample covered and open parking area for cars and there was 1 EV charging area also.

Plain but great for the budget conscious
We are locals who wanted a staycation that wouldn't bust our budget. This place is in a great location, only a block from the beach, and a lot cheaper than the beach facing hotels. Yes, the room was tiny, with few amenities (but had a mini fridge and coffee maker) but super clean and quiet with ample parking. Just note that it is right next to another hotel and go to the correct check in office! It doesn't look like much from the street but we consider it a hidden gem we will recommend to our budget conscious friends.

Really wonderful property form the price. My room needed some repairs and updating, but the pool was heated and the person at the front desk was friendly. The property itself is very well kept and a stone's throw from the beach. I would definitely stay here again.

It’s fine for a quick over night stay, but not for a nice family vacation. Room is small. But it’s a motel like facility which is expected. Can hear lots of noises outside including the train. Otherwise staff is very nice.

It is a great property at an excellent location! Our room is spacious and clean. We enjoyed walking to the beach and taco's nearby. We appreciated very much that there is a Tesla charging plug available in the parking lot. The only reason that prevents us from giving a 5 stars rating is our room wifi is very bad! It is so hard to get on and so easy to be dropped! It is quite an experience to stay in your room without wifi service as our T-mobile phone happens to have little signal as well. Our room number was 14.

No WiFi and a kitchen w/zero utensils or items
I got a suite and there was NO internet and NO phone signal. When I complained they said their internet simply didn't reach that far and suggested I used the WiFi of the Motel 6 next door (which wasn't great either). My suite had a kitchen with ZERO utensils, plates, pans, etc. What's the point? Unbelievable. It wasn't cheap either.
