Everything was so good, the rooms are big enough to not feel cramped. As far as the bathroom goes, the shower room could use some freshening up on a facilities level but all was kept clean by the staff! Would definitely stay again!

A good upscaled motel st Santa Barbara’s West Beach waterfront at the corner with a park. Very good rooms and great breakfast. They even serve wine, cheese, and grapes for happy hour! Very convenient parking. State Street and the pier are A5-minutes walk away.

Breakfast included a plus. Modern decor in lobby, clean. Cleaning ladies friendly. Needs some cleaning on elevator floor and 2nd floor floors. Room 204 bathroom needs upgrading, pillows were lumpy ( probably needs to be replaced). “Harbor view” room—view mainly hidden by trees.

This is a great place to stay! Walkable to the harbor and the wharf but far enough to be quieter. The breakfast options were great and there is coffee and water all day. The staff is friendly and there is a big parking lot. We will definitely stay here again

The breakfast was really much better than many other places that provided a free breakfast. Fresh fruit, and lots of various different options for breakfast meal. Right across the street from the beach perfect location. The rooms were clean and showers are huge. It was just a very enjoyable stay!
