Truly lovely gem right by the beach
We had an incredible stay here and really appreciated the care and attention to detail, from cleanliness, room decor, to the courtyard garden and breakfast offerings. There was not a thing I would change about this motel. We made use of the free bike rentals and also loved being within walking distance of the wharf. I hope to always be able to stay here next time we come back to Santa Barbara.

Excellent motel half a block from the beach. Room was small (king bed) but it had everything you would need. Room and property was extremely clean and staff was very hospitable. Easy walk to the pier and beyond. Free bike use made our stay lots of fun. No pool or spa but who cares? Beach is so close. Breakfast includes mostly cold items and a few things to heat in the microwave....breakfast sandwich and burrito. Would definitely stay here again!

Everything is new. The beds are super comfortable. The continental breakfast goes above and beyond and it’s proximity to the ocean is pretty amazing.

Great bed
The bed was comfortable- this is always the most important part of a stay for me. Our only regret was not booking another night soon enough. We stayed next door at the franciscan for our last night and it was way less comfy
