The person working the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Parking was good as well. The property is a short 10-15 minute walk to downtown Santa Barbara and right across the street from the beach and Marina. There is a very nice walking path right along the beach/greenway lined with palm trees

Staff was friendly and the rooms were very clean. It’s a little outdated but we didn’t spend much time in the room anyway. It’s perfect if your looking to do some walking because the pier is about a 10-15 minute walk away and there are restaurants even closer

Great location! Bathroom and room were clean. Bed was comfortable. Not a Kuerig fan so the coffee situation was a bummer. The size of the room was bigger than most standard rooms, which makes things more relaxing.
