Our room was after renovation. Evrething was good. There was a laminate instead of carpet so everything was clean. The room, bathroom and pool were very clean. I would recommend this inn.

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

The outside of this motel is a little shabby but other than that it's a great place to stay in Santa Barbara without spending an arm and a leg!
