Good and bad
Pros: Best deal during the holidays for a true 2BR / 2 bath suite. Great proximity to the beach. The staff is great; 5 star folks running a 2 star motel. Cons: The staff, even though I brag on them, never answered a phone call before I arrived and there is no way to leave a message. No way to take a nap there! Folks running the place are active all freakin day long and making a lot of noise the entire time. It is noisy AF there. And, if it isn't the staff or repair crews, it's the neighborhood around it (loud ass cars and car alarms) and the city (trash trucks at least a few time a week and a street sweeper). The floors in our suite were filthy! My wife's socks were black after walking around in the room for an afternoon and my slippers were sticky on the bottom after the first day. It seems like this is a 1950s motel with all of the issues with a construction of that era (thin walls and thin floors). They run out of hot water, which is just great during a shower; so you have to take your shower early. Seemed like the folks above our room were moving all of the furniture back and forth and practicing as a marching band. The pool is heated so noisy ass kids were in it the last two nights of our stay (I guess parents are reluctant to teach manners to their kids these days). One of the two TVs didn't work at all.

Beach steps away
Friendly, helpful staff and just one or two minutes walk to the beach. We didn’t try the pool, but it looked inviting. I’m sure this property began it life as a motel, but it has been thoughtfully updated with pleasant furnishings and features. Wi-Fi worked well enough for us to stream a movie (although my son said Wi-Fi was weak in his room). There are even two EV charging stations. Our rooms were squeaky clean and reasonably sized for a quick weekend getaway. I appreciated the coffeemaker and tea kettle. The bathrooms were quite small but everything worked perfectly, with the shower doors being the only giveaway to the past life as a motel!

The hotel is very near to the beach (walkable distance) and the Santa Barbara zoo is also walkable from the hotel. The kitchen and amenities in the kitchen (including a few utensils that were provided in the kitchen) was a pleasant surprise. One thing that we didn’t like was the washroom size. It was very small and without a bathtub. Apart from that, the rooms were spacious, the front desk staff was courteous. There was ample covered and open parking area for cars and there was 1 EV charging area also.

Plain but great for the budget conscious
We are locals who wanted a staycation that wouldn't bust our budget. This place is in a great location, only a block from the beach, and a lot cheaper than the beach facing hotels. Yes, the room was tiny, with few amenities (but had a mini fridge and coffee maker) but super clean and quiet with ample parking. Just note that it is right next to another hotel and go to the correct check in office! It doesn't look like much from the street but we consider it a hidden gem we will recommend to our budget conscious friends.

It’s fine for a quick over night stay, but not for a nice family vacation. Room is small. But it’s a motel like facility which is expected. Can hear lots of noises outside including the train. Otherwise staff is very nice.

It is a great property at an excellent location! Our room is spacious and clean. We enjoyed walking to the beach and taco's nearby. We appreciated very much that there is a Tesla charging plug available in the parking lot. The only reason that prevents us from giving a 5 stars rating is our room wifi is very bad! It is so hard to get on and so easy to be dropped! It is quite an experience to stay in your room without wifi service as our T-mobile phone happens to have little signal as well. Our room number was 14.

No WiFi and a kitchen w/zero utensils or items
I got a suite and there was NO internet and NO phone signal. When I complained they said their internet simply didn't reach that far and suggested I used the WiFi of the Motel 6 next door (which wasn't great either). My suite had a kitchen with ZERO utensils, plates, pans, etc. What's the point? Unbelievable. It wasn't cheap either.
