Voltarei
Pros:

Localização, quarto king deluxe grande e wc muito grande. Cama confortável . Funcionários recepção top principalmente o rapaz loiro. Pequeno almoço para um motel não é nada mau. Estacionamento gratuito. Tudo muito limpo.

Cons:

Booking vende como hotel mas é motel. Piscina é no hotel ao lado que é do mesmo dono. Almofadas não são as melhores mas não são péssimas

Parfait !
Pros:

L’établissement bénéficie d’un emplacement parfait, à seulement 5 minutes de la plage, ce qui est idéal pour profiter pleinement du séjour.

La chambre est très bien équipée, avec une literie extrêmement confortable. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le vrai coin cuisine, qui permet de cuisiner facilement, bien plus pratique qu’un simple micro-ondes.

L’établissement met également à disposition des serviettes et des chaises de plage, ainsi que des vélos que nous avons adoré utiliser pour nous balader.

Le petit déjeuner est complet et très appréciable pour bien commencer la journée.

Bref, tout était parfait, nous avons passé un excellent séjour !

Cons:

Would not have stayed here if I'd realized it was a motel and not a hotel, especially at the cost.
Pros:

It is very close to the beach, with easy access to Santa Barbara town. The staff was very helpful and responsive to requests (for additional towels, for example). The small rooms are very well designed and in excellent condition.

Cons:

This is a MOTEL, not a hotel! My fault that I didn't realize this, as Booking.com advertises it as a hotel, although the property is quite clear that it is a motel and not a hotel. This was surprising, especially at the very high price.

It was a short but fabulous stay.
Pros:

Newly renovated and only a small block from the beach. The receptionist was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

They are pet friendly and we would prefer a place with no animals.
