Great location, EH stay
Great location, EH stay. You can walk to the beach & zoo. Less than a 10min drive to State St or Funk Zone, must see areas of SB. You can hear the pipes when people shower, bed super springy, wifi was TERRIBLE, no AC (thank god the heat wave just ended). Pictures showed must've been from when they first opened.

STAY AWAY, looked for anything good to write about it couldn’t find any other than the room service personnel and the location. The TV never worked, and the smoke detector woke up all night long, the staff were extremely rude. My advice, pay extra and stay somewhere else if you want to enjoy your trip.

I love staying in this hotel. It’s so easy and walkable to the beach. There are many dining options. Their markets nearby. The rooms are super clean. There’s a beautiful pool in the middle of the property and the rooms are extremely clean. Staff is very nice. They have a quick breakfast in the morning and easy parking around the area.

Numerous issues with the room. Very loud parties at night and no staff of premises which was a huge issue for numerous reasons. I will say that management was very responsive when I shared my horrible experience after the stay and I do appreciate that.

Great location. 1 block from the ocean. No air conditioning. Ventilation was tough. Cute pool. Friendly staff when found. :-P Bed was like a trampoline. Some may like but I prefer memory foam. TO BE NOTED ~ terrible WiFi connection in a dead zone. Prepare for pilgrim living. Can’t beat the price.

Great stay
We had a great one night stay. The room was huge and had all the amenities we needed. We were a little concerned that there was no air con but the ceiling fan was great and the tenperature cooled down nicely at night so no issues. The grab and go breakfast was a great addition.

STAY AWAY!! I have never left a one-star review for anything, but I have also never regretted booking a hotel as much as I regretted this one. Please do yourself a huge favor and stay away from this dump. The worst part is we paid Santa Barbara $$ for a third-world level of accommodation. It was so bad we decided to sacrifice the money we paid and go to a different hotel. Our room was disgusting. It was appallingly dirty, dusty, and moldy. The curtains were so filthy I didn't want to touch them. Not a single surface looked wiped down, not even the bathroom sink faucets! I used my own Clorox wipes. Although there apparently were no bedbugs in our room, there was clearly evidence on our sheets, made at some point before we got there, of someone getting bitten by bedbugs (like dots and smears made by a felt tip marker). Everything was SO old and outdated. The oven had a sign on that said it was out of order, not that we wanted to cook there (yuck). There was also NO air conditioning. You could open the windows, but this is a cheap motel (not an "Inn" as they claim). Anyone could enter your room from the window, and we had kids with us. There is also NO privacy and it is LOUD. A creepy guy was looking inside at one point, which meant I had to close the filthy curtains. Then we were woken up at 2:30 am by a person in the room above us running back and forth, because the floors are so squeaky and old. There are also ZERO amenities or perks. NONE. This place was the WORST.

Interesting Inn, possibly revamped from an old apartment complex but in a terrific location just minutes walking to the beach and zoo. Way stayed in a studio-style suite that worked perfect for our overnight trip, and was conveniently close distance to State Street. There was no AC and had to rely on a ceiling fan and windows, and some ticky tacky cosmetic fixes would take this next level. Morning coffee and pastries were lackluster. Overall, amenities were not entirely worth the price paid but the location and comfort helped even that out.
