The staff were very nice… they did what they could. but for the cost of this room… I could not say it was worth it. I had cockroaches… a young man came in and sprayed in my room… fortunately I had the wherewithal to open the doors and windows so I was not so badly exposed to the chemicals. I saw a cockroach a second time but that was the day before I left… so I did not say anything. The room looked like an old cinder block build, with a thin coating of a stucco like substance. There was no microwave in the room The television was a just pay streaming apps. The bed was ok… the bathroom/shower was one step above motel 6 The plumbing in the sink was horrible… 3 times the water trap under the bathroom sink would suddenly drain out… and the room would fill with sewer gasses… that was so bad… not to mention unhealthy. The restaurant was nothing special… I was told they have great hamburgers. So I ordered one…. the bun was over toasted… actually the top was burned. And the meat was totally dry and rather tasteless. For the price of this motel… thats a rip off. I dont care if that’s what the rest of the motels are doing… I’m ashamed to say I live in Santa Barbara and to see there is nothing but greed. Oh and by the way… as I said the staff was very nice! but the motel…. I gave one star too many.
