This is an older property. It is tired and needs updating. Not bad for what you get in Santa Cruz.

not required

For a very 'humble' motel, it was adequet for a night's sleep; I would strongly suggest the the Santa Barbara sunset Motel replace the thin curtains with 'black out' curtains as the morning sun woke us up at 7am.

Scammed

Scammed Out of My Money – Dishonest Management booked a room at Sunset Hotel Santa Barbara but had my wallet stolen shortly before arriving. When I showed up, the owner refused to let me check in without a physical ID (understandable), but told me I would be refunded since I couldn’t stay. A few days later, I followed up—and she completely changed her story, claiming that because I didn’t “cancel,” she held the room and kept the payment. I never even set foot in the room, and she refused to honor her original promise of a refund.
