Nice property that is right across from the beach. Breakfast selection was really good. Price was high, but so were other properties in the neighborhood. The fact that it was Labor Day weekend probably contributed to this excessive for a motel price.

Excellent location just across the street from the boat harbour and within a couple of blocks of both Leadbetter beach (and a beach cafe) and the beginning of the main shopping and eating district of downtown Santa Barbara. While it's a modest motel type hotel, it is clean, well-run with a lovely pool and tasty breakfast service.
