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!

The staff was phenomenal and so helpful and polite beyond what we have received elsewhere. We were so impressed with the easy conversation and helpful tips for dining and Venturing out in Santa Barbara. I will be sending a personalized card with notes specific to those who helped us. Our favorite moment was taking the beach cruisers out and enjoying the morning g views and all the people we met while doing it. Breakfast was superb delicious baked items and such a variety of choices from eggs to fruit and more. We will be referring your motel to our Irene’s and family for future vacation stays
