The whole decor and layout of the hotel is very welcoming There is a lovely courtyard where drinks are served and there are complimentary drinks from 5pm to 6pm (not Sunday) Absolutely free! The rooms are of a very high standard with balconies The location is excellent being a few minutes from the centre of State St and near the best restaurants The staff were very helpful especially Fabian and Nate on the front desk We went to a Winery for a tasting and Fabian provided us with all the picnic accessories. The pool is small and comfortable to sit around Overall one of our best stays in Santa Barbara in a great boutique hotel

    Nothing. The place is a hellhole! My recent stay at Sunset Motel was an absolute nightmare. I went in expecting a clean and comfortable place to stay, but what I got was a disaster from start to finish. It was painfully obvious that the people running this motel couldn't care less about basic standards. Anyone even considering a stay at this establishment should run and seek accommodations elsewhere. Save yourself the trouble and find somewhere else to stay. Trust me, even camping in a tent would be a step up from this nightmare.

    Very comfortable accommodation. Quiet room and location, and I particularly loved the jacuzzi and heated outdoor pool. These were a real treat in the cooler temperatures of the spring. The staff were mostly very polite and welcoming. I also appreciated the laundry room. Thank you for a great stay in Santa Barbara.
