Everything seemed very good but the parking spaces seemed a little tight which is important when you’re trying to unload your car and the towels were a little thin.

Power outages
Good overall, but there is a noisy pool repair in the morning. Also when we attempted to use microwave - power to TV, fridge and microwave oven turned off.. Called office - they turned some switch back on. Then in less than a minute the same power outage. Repeated - and it worked this time. Manager said that too many rooms were trying to use microwave simultaneously:)

just okay
The rooms need to have better quality beds and bedding in general as well as warm blankets I had to leave the heater on all night because it was freezing inside. Also egg for breakfast would be nice instead of just oatmeal, fruit and pastry some type of protein for breakfast please

We went to Santa Barbara for a family event and found this place - a great stay at a family style motel. Very friendly and helpful front desk. Pool and breakfast were nice. This is an excellent value in an otherwise crazy expense town. Would highly recommend.
