We enjoyed our stay rooms are small but very comfortable.
Pros:

Well kept motel. The breakfast was just ok, no fresh pastries. But everything else was fine.

Cons:

Parking is tight and random unassigned spaces.

Pros:

Ottima posizione e colazione molto buona. Il servizio di noleggio biciclette gratuito è stato davvero comodo e ben organizzato. Molto apprezzato anche il cucinino presente in camera. Doccia e asciugacapelli di ottima qualità. La camera, inoltre, era senza moquette, cosa che abbiamo trovato particolarmente positiva dal punto di vista della pulizia. Bellissimo anche l’angolo esterno con il fuoco, in stile falò, dove è stato davvero piacevole rilassarsi la sera.

Cons:

personale poco chiaro nell'esposizione delle informazioni più importanti, sembravano timorosi

Pros:

The rooms were comfy and clean, the breakfast was great, and right across the street from the beach!

Cons:

I think 7:30 is a little late to open for breakfast and coffee for some people.
Also, a tiny wastebasket was the only trash can in the room when there is a small kitchen you can cook in. There should be a larger trash can with a lid at least.

Pros:

Davvero bello e curato, in ottima posizione a due passi dal pontile di Santa Barbara. Camera non grandissima ma con letto comodo e super doccia finalmente senza tenda!!! Buona anche la colazione. Staff carino e gentile. Non abbiamo sfruttato le bici gratuite a noleggio, ma che sono sicuramente un plus.

Cons:

niente

Un buen sitio para alojarse en Santa Bárbara
Pros:

Estaba muy bien ubicado y muy limpio. Las habitaciones perfectas y el personal muy agradable. Lo recomiendo.

Cons:

Lo único por decir algo, el desayuno… escaso diría yo. Desayunamos a las 7:30 am (abrían a las 7am) y ya no quedaban muchas cosas.
