My daughter moved to the area for college and when I need to pick her up or drop her off and need an over night stay (long drive home) this place is convenient and budget friendly.
It was a little small
But it was half a block away from beach in a very beautiful area and everyone was very sweet
Lots of places to eat and very close to
Santa Barbara zoo too
Location is superior; quick beach access. The room was clean but spartan. Outside of the building was retro; the inside was economy. Don’t expect a hot shower- lukewarm was the best I could get; that was disappointing. Property was clean and safe. Excellent neighborhood.
The location is great. The property is a great value.

The property served its purpose. Unfortunately checkin starting at 3pm does not guarantee the room will be ready. We did not get our room until around 5:30pm after waiting 1.5 hours. I would recommend blackout curtains because the outdoor lights are shining right into the room, resulting in disturbed sleep.
