This is a cheap motel dressed up with Spanish tiles so they can charge a fortune. Location is marginal. Good 20 minutes to State street, the main promenade in Santa Barbara. Rooms are basic. Don’t be fooled by the pictures. Lobby and stairs are your standard cheap motel size. Evening wine is served with cheapest of wines with cheap pepper Jack and cheap marbled mild cheddar with no flavor. Breakfast, well your standard motel fare. This hotel is ok if you pay $150/night not for $350/night Stay in more central location for that price.

Easy walk to the Amtrak station, downtown State St and pier. However the hotel does not have a restaurant or bar, and a good restaurant within walking distance was difficult. Hotel clean, somewhat dated but had a beautiful courtyard, clean pool and spa. Staff super helpful and so friendly.
