This was a basic hotel/motel situation but with an elevated experience. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and you are greeted with a glass of wine and freshly baked cookies. The property is an old 60s like apartment building with a pool in the center. I did not use the pool but it looked clean and well maintained. I stayed in an overnight business trip and I was comfortable, cozy and felt safe as a woman traveling alone. The entire property was quiet and within close walking distance to the beach. A quick drive to restaurants and State street. Parking convenience is a huge plus. I highly recommend. ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay in Santa Barbara!
