The in-wall air conditioner was very loud and actually made the walls vibrate. When the bed was pushed up against the wall, the whole bed shook from the AC vibrations and kept waking us up during the night. Was that rusted metal thing a safe? We didn’t want to touch it to find out. They gave us a box of Kleenex that was nearly empty. This place needs major updating.

Motel 6 at Hilton prices. Stayed here having to visit UCSB last minute, so hotel prices weren't good. Seemed like the best option on a budget. It was a place to sleep.... but at $300 a night could've at least had a shower that drained and towels that weren't cotton sandpaper. Staff was fine and friendly.
