Absolutely phenomenal stay! Would recommend to anyone I know, not only as a motel (which quite frankly grossly undersells it) but as any accommodation available. Staff was friendly and professional, rooms were fantastic, breakfast was great, and location was amazing. Do not overlook this hidden gem!

I love this little motor court, vintage vibe but completely modern property a block from the beach. The staff is so nice! A nice little breakfast, and we can take our dog. We’ve been a few times and plan on making it our Santa Barbara hotel.
