I chose this motel mainly because of the location and the price - just a block from the beach for $70 a night seemed like a good deal. And I got what I paid for: a simple but satisfactory and clean room and a decent bed. There were only two things that bothered me: it was rather noisy and the... More

This was our first night's accommodation after a 14 hour flight and the drive up from LA. We needed a good night's sleep, but the noise from the street, the sport field across the road and hotel guests slamming car doors late into the night prevented any chance of a decent night's sleep. The room was small, but OK, the... More

I usually avoid low budget lodging and didn't have high expectations. I was visiting during a UCSB parent weekend so reasonable priced hotels were out of the question. I was staying for one night and needed a room just to crash. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the room and area. Across the way is a park (bonus), a block... More

After perusing a few hotels by the beach, we opted for this one since it had the best rate. Upon arrival, I thought I was pulling up to a Motel 6. The Days Inn looked old and raggedy on the outside. We arrived early than check-in and got a room away from the street. Once we unloaded our bags, we... More

When we arrived, the man at the front desk was lovely and helpful. However, the room, although a decent size, looked a little grubby- sticky surfaces etc. Then when I went in the bathroom, there were hairs around the sink- clearly, the room had not been throughly cleaned. I couldn't stay after that, and we packed up and moved next... More

We stayed for two nights en route to LA. Our room was massive - two king size double beds and was spotlessly clean apart from a mark on one wall. Air con was a little noisy. Decor was fine - lovely comfortable beds and pleasant pictures on wall. Tables in room were a little well worn. Nice bathroom. Room overlooked... More

We stayed at Days Inn in SB mainly because it was the cheapest motel nearby to State Street. I use cheap loosely though because it was still $150 for 1 night in a small motel room. The room was fine, definitely could use some upgrading. The "free breakfast" consisted of juiceboxes and muffins. Free internet which was useful. The bed... More

This is a great choice if you get to visit Santa Barbara. It's located right next to the beach, the harbour and the marina, in a quiet street but surrounded by luxury hotels and houses. Just a few blocks away from the bars and pubs. Staff is really nice and helpful. Rooms are comfy, bathrooms are a little small but... More
