Carino, non ci tornerei, troppo costoso per quel che offre.
Pros:

Struttura carina , abbastanza pulita, classico motel, non è a Santa Barbara, ma in una città vicina. Tutto sommato carino.

Cons:

Molto costoso per quel che offre.
Alle 5 del mattino ci è arrivata una chiamata in camera che ci ha svegliati nel bel mezzo della notte e un uomo continuava a chiederci cose strane…

Pros:

Location is convenient, staff was nice, parking is easy. Was there for a wedding weekend and the room had hangers for dresses/etc. The bathtub in our room needs to be replaced, had a soft spot in the bottom that seemed to have been patched over at some point, kinda dirty feeling. The room was super clean, but the bathroom shelves where the towels were kept were covered in dust bunnies. Everything other than the bathroom felt clean.
