Nice motel, great location, not 3.5 stars…
Great location, walking distance to the beach and the waterfront. Having free bikes available was a game changer, although they need to be better maintained, got a flat and had to walk home, and brakes on other bikes were iffy. Guest appreciation was also nice with drinks and appetizers. Now the not so good, beds in 217 were way too soft, have had backaches since day one at the hotel. Room needs more character, a few pictures on wall and please clean and change out the curtains, they look tired. Kitchen utensils were straight out of a college dorm, need upgrades there as well. Pool was way too cold mid 70s at best, should be between 80-85, especially at this time of year with highs of 70. Walkways need a good power washing, change out bright spotlights by pool with something more cool and soothing. Clean up area behind the hotel, looked like leftover crap left behind so you didn’t want to open curtains behind beds. Need more sound deadening between rooms, heard a crying baby for several hours. This is not a 3.5 star hotel, more like 2.5. Was expecting more for a 3.5 rating, so might want to downgrade yourself to be in line with what you are, a nice enough refurbished motel. Pool area could use some upgrades, would be great to fix the fountain by the hot tub, paint the hot tub (looks very worn), and put up a faux grass wall against building next door, looks horrible with just a brown wall. It’s those types of touches that will get you to three stars and above.
I’d lose the chair maybe a longer and flatter mid century bench for putting on shoes…
Stark, empty walls don’t help any…
Add some color to room with more lively and groovy curtains…
A few finishes and upgraded cutlery would be appreciated, add a dishwasher and move fridge to opposite corner…

When I first arrived I wasn’t so sure- for the price, the room was not as nice as I had hoped, but everything else made up for it. It was really clean, and remarkably quiet, especially for its location and the fact that the rooms have doors to the outside on 2 sides of the room. We slept great on the comfortable beds and enjoyed the hot tub. The breakfast was simple but sufficient and had a decent variety, and we enjoyed the wine and cheese hour every afternoon. We hopped on the free bikes every day that we were there and had an absolute blast riding all over Santa Barbara. The staff was absolutely outstanding, like I cannot say enough about that! As for the price, totally worth it, especially when you consider that most hotels don’t include breakfast or free, easy parking. Would definitely stay at this quirky little gem again!

My husband and I stayed here for three nights and were very pleased. We met guests who have come back to this place several times because they enjoyed it so much. And the free wine and cheese hour was lovely and gave you a chance to mingle with other guests. The free breakfast was very good. We also took advantage of the complementary bikes and biked the boardwalk. Wonderful! But most importantly, the staff were so very pleasant and helpful. Especially Aaron.
