This accommodation is simply an affordable option compared to others in Santa Barbara. If you need a place to sleep briefly, it's okay. However, don’t expect it to be a great place. Also, I wouldn’t recommend coming with your family, especially young kids.

Clean room, air conditioner was okay but very loud all night. Parking was fine, just getting out to the street can be difficult being on the corner there. Staff was not always there and when we asked for more pillows they said they didn’t have anymore.
