"Area was just ok. Hotel was older than I expected. "

"breakfast basic but ok "

"Love the amenities at this hotel and the vibe is great!"

"Only problem we had was figuring out the walking routes to the harbor and to downtown."

"It was at best average in all aspects"

"I don't know where to start on this one. The property is basically an old Best Western, that had a lick of paint applied to it. So if you want to experience Motel 6 level of property with Marriott pricing this is the right spot. Huge holes by the door (door looks like it was last swapped in 90's), holes where old paintings used to hang, broken bathroom fans, draft under the door. exposed flooring joints. The remodel was done by someone who has clearly has never done one and the amount of investment was negligible. This is probably the first time I felt like writing a review like this because I felt like I was completely ripped off and a switch a bait was done. The outside of the property btw, also doesn't look it was updated at all either. I would not recommend to stay here at all. If you want a Marriott find a real one not this Found Garbage by Marriott.

"Very quaint, clean hotel! Throwback from decades ago, but well kept up! Very comfy, clean, located close to Main Street of Santa Barbara."

"The inn was clean and had everything one might need. Frig, coffee maker, plenty of outlets for electronics, safe for valuables, nice complimentary continental breakfast and good security (need key to access room hallway which also accessed the room. It was a little noisy (seemed popular with young families), we lucked out with a bad mattress and the parking was full. This was probably due to a full house… no vacancy. That staff was very courteous and helpful. They did advise that if it was too noisy, just call the front desk to address the issue. But it’s hard to ask parents to restrain young children. The inn was centrally located to everything, so that’s a plus. We basically needed a safe clean place to spend a few nights and they were provided. "

"Perfect location in walking distance from the gorgeous beach. Very clean hotel with friendly staff. Would 100% stay here again."
