Good enough
Great location for Carpinteria and Santa Barbara. Walking distance to Main Street, restaurants, stores, beach, etc.
Smaller rooms. Old motel but in decent shape.

Quick stop
It’s a quick stop on my long driving trip along the California coast. The place is simply, bare minimum, a clean, safe, comfortable bed.

Great stay and location is walking distance to stores and restaurants. Only negative part was we had a non smoking room, and other guest were smoking very close near our room. Defeats the purpose of a non-smoking room when you can still smell it in your own room.

Clean but cold water only
I would have given them 5 stars across the board BUT of the 3 days we were there, we only took one hot shower. One day was cold water only and the other was barely lukewarm. When I called to ask about the water or concessions for the inconvenience they couldn't care less.

the toilet clogged and they couldn't plunge the toilet. instead we were offered to switch rooms at 1145pm 😭 i usually like this area since it's close to the beach and affordable i would stay again just if i'm offered that room again i would request a different one 😎
