Great location in east beach. Easy walk to zoo, beach and the carrillo beach center. The property is older, with a paint job to freshen it up. Office and coffee UNAVAILABLE until 730 am. Put coffee makers in each room!

OK
Good price on line but a number of somewhat hidden costs for booking with third party. Lobby staff was focused on their phones more than customer service. A walk to state street but good location for kids and pets. Thank you.

We were told at the beginning the WiFi is spotty. It was horrible. You clearly need more access points for the hotel to fix this issue. The devices do not reach all the rooms and there is blockage to get proper service. Add more routers and you will fix the problem.

First of all, I had to pay $15 to park behind the building in an unsecure lot. I have stayed in Santa Barbara on business for 20 years and NEVER paid for parking. Internet sucked. It took me an extra hour to get all my orders sent in as I kept getting bumped off the internet. Lastly, there was no hot water to take a shower so I had to sponge off in the sink. I will not stay at this facility again.

Really liked how close it was to the beach. The internet service was extremely spotty. We did have a router in our room that we could restart but it was not consistent service.
