We were so impressed with this place! The room we reserved was double booked prior to us arriving but the manager made it right and offered us another available option with a partial refund. Everyone was so nice and accommodating! I wish we had been able to take advantage of the free bike rentals but next time for sure. All appliances are up to date and so clean. We will be returning!

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.
