This property was one of the best we’ve been to. It was a block to the beach, and they had free bikes to use. Santa Barbara has a long lovely bike path along the beach. Breakfast was good. The staff was very helpful. We definitely hope to stay here again!

Perfect stay, right next to everything by the marina and State Street. The motel thought of everything in the room, super clean! Perfect for when I am dropping kids off at college and need a night to stay somewhere before heading back home. Loved using the bikes as well.

The staff very kindly got our room ready for early check in. The rooms are air conditioned which isn’t true of other motels in the area. While the exterior maintains its retro charm, the room’s interior is clean and modern.
