"nice "

"Friendly staff. Has a kitchen, feels like living in an apartment "

"This is definitely more of a "motel" than an "inn" and the room definitely have a somewhat dated motel feel. So if you care about having a "luxury" feel, this probably is not the hotel for you. That said, Santa Barbara has a lot to do and we didn't really want to stay in our hotel anyway, so the fact that it was clean/comfortable enough and the staff was accommodating and helpful was good enough for us. They have a continental breakfast that wasn't notable, but fine if you're looking to grab a quick coffee/bagel etc. There is also wine and cheese in the afternoon, but despite being in wine country they serve some truly horrid stuff (I think probably out of a box), but if sweet Chardonnay and uninspired red wine (supposedly Cabernet) is your thing, you might enjoy it. The only real issue we had with the hotel was how loud it was. You can hear everything that is happening in the parking lot/outdoor hallways (one day we were woken up at 6:30 by people loudly checking out) and the staff starts (loudly) cleaning rooms a little after 8:00, so this definitely is not a great spot if you do not want to get up early (we gained two hours traveling, so this was fine this time)."
