Stop off in Santa Barbara

Great motel and the two bedroom family was spacious. Breakfast could be chaotic dependent on the time you went at, basic but did the job. Just couldn’t imagine staying much longer and eating breakfast every morning, but was ok for our 3 night stay. Never got to use the pool as always busy in the evenings. Good location.
