    Really nice motel right on State Street in Santa Barbara. You can tell that the room was recently renovated and it provided all the amenities we needed for a short stay. The bed was really really comfortable! You can also rent bikes from them for free, however we unfortunately arrived a little late and we just decided to walk into town.

    Lovely hotel! Very comfortable rooms and beds. Great to have a fridge. Access to ice and a microwave. So much staff to keep everything running and very clean! Breakfast was good. Location brilliant! Across the street was the harbour with the promenade ( for the daily run). Saturday hosts the local fish market. Lots of eateries around. If you want shopping and going out, that’s in walking distance, as is the beach and rental companies for kayaking/ fishing/ sailing…Happy to visit again! Thanks

    lovely property with Spanish courtyard and lots of greenery. Our room was a great size with 2 separate bedrooms. Felt like we had our own apartment which was perfect. close to state street too. Dog friendly property too, we brought our service dog but noticed the pet dog fee is only $20 which is very good for Santa Barbara
