Room was dirty! Carpet looked like it was a petri dish of nastiness! Our room was located in the back behind some wall that sure didn't make us feel safe at night when we checked in. I know for a fact we were charged way too much, but it was late and there was no other hotel with rooms available... more

We were surprised with the comfort of the room. The overall size of the room is on the small size, but it provided ample room. Was nice to have the small refrigerator in the room, unlike allot of your more expensive hotels that don’t provide or at a cost. The hotel is conveniently located five minutes from downtown “State St”.... more

I stayed here for 2 nights, room with a king sized bed, while visiting my daughter. This is one of the better priced hotels in the area, especially if purchased online. It's location is good as it's close to a lot of the area. It is a cute place, with a tropical feel as it has a lot of landscaping... more

Our group hadn't made any reservations for this part of our trip as we had a long drive during the day and we weren't sure whether we would make it all the way to Santa Barbara. When we got there we were welcomed by some very helpful staff who managed to get us some rooms. The rooms were right by... more

We came on a Thursday and they were having a Recession-Busting Weekday deal on their website. We got a king room, walk-in shower, lcd tv, mini-fridge, microwave, pool, and hot tub for $71/night. My wife is a freak about motel rooms (she commonly brings her own blanket to sleep on top of) and she was surprised about how clean the... more

Stayed here for one night and found room comfortable but staff a little unfriendly. Not the most convenient location if you want to be close to town centre but ok for what it was (an overnight stop) more

My partner and I stayed here during August 2009 and had a very good stay. We stayed here for 3 nights whilst road tripping around America. The hotel was very good value for money and has lots of facilities that made it a great hotel. Facilities included washing facilities, microwave, flat screen tv, coffee making facilities and dvd player in... more
