My husband and I came across this property as we were trying to look for an overnight stay for our anniversary and what really caught my attention was the price for a beachfront view! All the other properties we looked into in the Santa Barbara area was almost double the price. And if you’re okay with an outdated building/room but with the most spectacular beach view with listening to the waves crashing in the nighttime, then look no further! Yes, we were hesitant in the beginning because the rooms are a bit outdated, but with the inspection I do in every hotel room that we step into, it was very clean! Room 11 is on the 2nd floor ( upgraded from a standard room) , with a King Twin bed, if you’re traveling with little ones and the room window looking out into the ocean was worth every penny ( to upgrade, roughly $100 ). Pros: -The young gentleman checking us in was very friendly, housekeeping staff as well -Continental breakfast from 7:30am-10am for their guests - Clean rooms -Breathtaking view Cons: - Limited parking -Restrooms in the room was outdated but clean -You can ONLY hop on 101South from the property and get off next exit just to hop back on to 101North to head into Santa Barbara or anywhere in that direction. -You can hear the footsteps of other guests that is on the same floor as your room. Would definitely book again in the near future !

Beautiful property in idyllic spot. Staff were very accommodating. Just a lovely spot to spend the day. Many reviewers fixated on the age of the property and signs of wear. If you are an expecting a freshly refurbished generic midrange hotel, you won’t find it here. But you will find a well appointed and charming hotel that doesn’t skimp on comfort.

Beautiful property! The view from my room was top notch and I felt that I had been transported to an Island escape. The restaurant staff was incredibly sweet and the food was delicious. A bit of a bummer that it was a limited menu in the restaurant on the one night of the week that I was staying. However, the taste and quality of the food far surpassed The limited dinner menu. On another note, the things that caught my attention that I didn't care for were that there was no lock in the window so I had to make a makeshift contraption so that the window would not slide all the way open while I was sleeping. The reason that's important is the only place for other guests to walk to their rooms is right past your window that overlooks the ocean. The view is the reason I'm sure that people love to stay there but as a single woman there was a nagging feeling to keep my blinds closed as many people walked by. Which in turn ruins the view. The shower /bathroom was incredibly small, but that's just personal preference. I don't believe a large person would be comfortable with those types of accommodations in that room. Finally in the most important thing, is that there was no smoke alarm/carbon monoxide detector in my room. And I don't believe that is acceptable or up to code.

Even though the building is older, the rooms have been updated a bit. The room was very clean. The staff, from the lobby receptionist, restaurant staff, and maids were all very pleasant. Excellent service. The hotel is a hidden gem. Listening to the waves at night was so relaxing. In addition, the sea view was beautiful. This will be our new getaway!

Beautiful view of the ocean, wake up to sounds of the ocean and birds. Nice patio, large pool and lounge chairs on a grassy overlook to the cliffs and ocean below. Older motel in need of some maintenance but clean and cozy, well worth the price. We stayed four nights. No elevator. Easy access to freeway.

Great location, beautiful view and good food. The staff was very kind, especially the server with tattoos, he made us feel right at home. The restaurant was great and had many options. Overall, a great place. My only real complain is more of a warning to those staying here, it's located right next to the highway and the noise isn't an issue, it's the fact that you have to drive at least 15 minutes to get anywhere else like a store or a gas station. If you want to go back straight to the hotel after leaving, it's more like 25 minutes, so don't forget to grab everything you can!

Had an absolutely awful stay in this place, booked for 3 nights left after 1 it was that bad. Where do I start….old, dirty rooms with paint peeling off the furniture and tatty bed linen, unclean bathroom, a noisy highway, a breakfast offering that looked like something from a campsite with some options gone by that time I got there, seagulls that swoop in to eat your food if your outside and spending a night next door to screaming kids and a family arguing. Put all this to the hotel management and requested a refund, they had the cheek to dismiss all these issues, claim that there are no problems with this place and refuse to offer any amicable solution given I spent over £650 to stay there. Is that how you treat an international traveller. They clearly mis-advertise themselves as a 3* hotel, they are not even 2*. People are free to make their own decisions but my advice would be to avoid, absolutely awful place.
