This property is actually a rather crummy 1960's era motel at the wrong end of town which somehow managed to get a Quality franchise. Needless to say, small, grubby smelly rooms, broken tiles in the bathrooms, 50 year-old windows, and everything else you shudder to think about when you are travelling. Continental breakfast was dismal, consisting mainly of cellophane-wrapped sweet... more

It's a MOTEL. Don't expect the bells and whistles. You get what you pay for. Upside: Clean, Quiet & Good Location (right off of State and De La Vina). Downside: Older Building & Furnishings, Bad Wireless Internet Connection, Breakfast. if you're just passing through and don't want to spend a fortune, this place would work. But keep in mind that... more

I stay at Choice Hotel properties a majority of the nights that I travel and I found this property to be below standard for the name. The place is old and should be remodeled. The beds were on the hard side but I've had worse. I called the hotel in advance and requested a microwave in the room but when... more

Do not book on-line. I booked online from an airport, could not print a confirmation, cancelled the hotel the same day and ended up getting charged for the room anyway. The hotel mysteriously had a record of my reservation but no record of my cancellation - go figure. I tried to cancel the payment through my credit card company, but... more

Lets get this out of the way first: Cons: This is a motel not a hotel. Older building with small rooms and bathrooms. Pros: Pride of ownership, recently remodled rooms, great location, a bargin at under $100 based on other Santa Barbara hotel pricing. My four star rating is not comparing it to a Hoiliday Inn or other more expensive... more

I'm a former Santa Barbara resident who comes up once a year for the annual meeting of an organization, and to do a couple days of bicycling. I'm quite surprised by the several negative reviews of this motel; perhaps some folks have exceedingly lofty expectations. The Quality Inn (why the corporate droids reamed it from the Mountain View Inn escapes... more

Beware - walls are paper thin! We could hear the couple in the next room! To make matters worse, we heard people walking and talking by our room, doors closing, and footsteps from the stairs all night. The room is very small and cramped and bed is rock hard. Can't barely close the door in the bath when you are... more

This is a one or two-star motel, which basically means it's old and it hasn't been updated in decades. That said, it's pretty quiet and if you want a budget hotel in SB you've found one. But just remember, you get what you pay for. It's not walking distance to downtown, and a cab was $10 each way. Parking lot... more

This is a very nice motel type property located about two miles North of the downtown shopping district. It features free high speed internet connection and a nice breakfast area with a slightly better than average continental breakfast, also free coffee all day. Rooms are little small, but nicely furnished. more
