I loved this place. The location was very walkable, just next to the beach and Santa Barbara old town. The room was big and extraordinarily clean. The beds were comfortable. Also, the option of free parking is very handy as street parking can be expensive around. Breakfast was good... I will definitely stay here if I visit Santa Barbara again.

Perfect and quit. We had a wonderful cabin for 5 people with great green views and a nice patio. Breakfast and dinner is included. Food is obviously home cooked and very tasty, which we really appreciated after almost 3 weeks on the road. Staff is so welcoming and you almost feel like part of the family. We did a horseback ride up the hills. It was definitely worth the cost and we really enjoyed our cowboy guide telling us about the area.

The pool is absolutely fab, perfect size and temperature. Small towels available poolside. Location is good, not far from the promenade.

    When I visit my daughter and grandson in Santa Barbara, I like to have my privacy so I stay here. The dog and i can walk to the beach boardwalk in 20 minutes. There's the tasty burger shack where we share! There are bathrooms. On the way to the beach you will find restaurants and shops. The old doggie is in a nice-sized stroller, so we can bring back goodies. Right next door to the Motel 6 on Carpenteria Street is a grocery store, dollar-type store, and Goodwill too! Have fun!
