Pros:

Zimmer nett eingerichtet, dafür aber klein. Mega Lage, nur 1 Minute zu Fuß bis zum Strand. Es gibt Zimmer mit Meerblick, die sind leiser, die anderen waren recht laut mit Geräuschen von fahrenden Autos. Konnten für 11 Dollar das Zimmer mit Meerblick umbuchen. Morgens gibt es bei der Rezeption kostenlose Kaffee to go. Kleiner Pool, aber sehr sauber mit kostenlosen Handtüchern

Convenient and Comfortabke Stay in Santa Barbara at a reasonable price
Pros:

Genuinely comfortable and clean stay at a reasonable price compared to other areas of Santa Barbara. Location was great and it did the job for 1 night!

Cons:

Towels were slightly dirty and at check-in the staff member was in their phone… not a big deal but just something to note. Check out much more friendly!

Pros:

Zimmer war sauber und gut ausgestattet. Morgens konnte man sich Kaffee an der Rezeption holen.
Die beiden Rezeptionistinnen waren super nett.
Die Lage in 2 Reihe vom Meer war super, ed gab regelmäßige Busverbindungen ins Zentrum.

Cons:

Die Betten waren zu weich,. Das Zimmer könnte etwas größer sein, war aber geschmackvoll eingerichtet.
Der junge Rezeptionist war patzig und unfreundlich. Er sah schon genervt aus, wenn man in die Rezeption kam. Absolutes "No-go"!
