Nice little motel. We stayed at two different ones this trip to SB and this was the nicer of the two. Could hear a bit of traffic noise from the street ( but not terrible) and an upset lady yelling her head off in the middle of night and then stomping up the stairs, but other than that the place was fine and we would stay there again. Good location with restaurants and grocery store nearby.
