When we travel from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara to visit our daughter in college, we simply want a clean, affordable hotel for one or two nights. We've had good experiences with Days Inn in other cities, and wanted to give this one a try. The positives: as we typically experience at Days Inn, the staff was kind and courteous.... More

This is the first time I have felt compelled to write a review although I have travelled extensively. This is mainly because of the title above and especially the fantastic service offered by the General Manager - Sylvia Lizarde. Having driven a long way in extreme fog in a small car with my family I was far from in the... More

It's like stepping back in time to a 1970's motor lodge. Check-in was friendly, but very inefficient. I sat and waited an hour (it was after 2pm), and had to remind the clerk twice to call housekeeping to confirm when the room was ready. Small, musty rooms with mis-matched furniture and worn carpet, broken electrical outlets, chipped tub, etc. The... More

We didn't experience any of the issues mentioned on here. Yes it was typical motel style, basic, but we found the staff ok, plenty of parking and a great location on State Street. We overlooked the pool area, which was reasonably landscaped and not at all busy. Breakfast was indeed, pretty horrible. More

This hotel has a great location on State Street, though it was the worst customer service i have ever experienced at any hotel. The front desk staff is horrible, absolutely horrible and just plain rude. The do not know the meaning of customer service. Very sad. Additionally, the air conditioners in the rooms don not work, the rooms smells, and... More

I'm not a very fussy traveller but found this place disgusting. We arrived late after a long drive down the coast and only because it was so late I would have walked out of the place. In fact I think we would have had a better nights sleep in the car. The room was really smelly-like damp-I think it was... More

First night we had a room on the 3rd floor off next to the elevator and overlooking the street. We could hear everyone getting off the elevator (walls apparently not very thick). The compressor on the refrigerator in the room was on the fritz, so every 30 minutes when it turned back on it was so loud it woke us... More

This hotel was formerly known as "The Prado Inn" and was always a pleasure to stay there. Since it was bought out by "Days Inn", the prices have almost doubled, and the service is halved. The rooms are clean, but nothing special. There is a nice pool, but again, nothing special. They supposedly offer a continental breakfast which starts at... More

We where staying for a wedding at this location. I called gave name, number, credit card and stated we where part of the wedding group. They took all information. We flew 4 1/2 hours, then drove up 1 1/2 from LA and where told that we had canceled the reservation. We of course had not. They stated we were fortunate... More
