The location is amazing and perfect for what we needed. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. Our bed was comfortable and I really liked the linens. Loved that there was free and easy parking and you could walk to so many locations. They also had bikes that we could use to get around! Excellent value and great location - would stay here again for sure!

The walls are a bit thin, so if other guests are talking loudly you can definitely hear them. Luckily it’s a small property so there isn’t too much of a risk of that but something to be aware of if you are an extra light sleeper.

The location can’t be beat! So easy to walk, or use their provided bikes, to get to shops and restaurants. The bed was comfortable and the staff member who helped us was exceptionally nice and helpful. The price was affordable and we would consider staying here again.

The room we got did not look anything like the photo in the listing. It was a little dark and dingy- a “putting lipstick on a pig” situation… an aging motel with a little sprucing up. But we did really enjoy staying here and appreciated everything the owners are trying to do to create a comfortable stay.

I was given the wheelchair accessible room. No complains here, because it was super spacious. Very clean room and it looks like, from the pictures, has been remodeled recently. As far as the location, it's great. Close enough to downtown SB where you can walk. You can't compare the price of other hotels to this one. SB is outrageously expensive. But this hotel seems to be a very good value.

I arrived around 9pm. Parking is definitely a bit of an issue, and the spaces are super tight. There is literally one spot for each room and not one more.

We had a stay while the fludding happened and actually got also got fludded like 10 min after we left the motel and start driving back home. The employees and management was so nice and helped us with this chaos,after we told what happened.I can really just recommend it and even my husband Sayed it's the best ..Motel.. he has ever been . It's different then a usual motel in the us .

Since walls in the us are thin or empty idk you could mostly hear everything from outside which is annoying but after a time I guess u get used to it . Still amazing stay. It's clean, modern, the management takes care of it .

The location was very good and the bed was very comfortable

Property did not offer an elevator and it was a little bit noisy I could hear the other guests but overall given what I paid it was okay. I had to leave earlier than their front desk was opened and was unsure how to leave the key so I just left it in the room As they did not have a key Dropbox that I was able to locate not a big thing just something to be aware

Great location for where we needed to be. Basic classic motel, very clean, comfortable bed, friendly staff. Very reasonable price for the area. Will book again when we are in area.

Room furnishings need updating. Only one nightstand (we used chair for other) and chairs in poor condition-one had wobbly leg so we did not use for sitting. Lock on door a bit funky, door and window did not feel entirely secure.

Think of it like a renovated old school beach town motel. There aren't many frills, but the rooms are spacious and clean and have been re-done recently. It also has a cool outdoor patio on the second floor that is open to all guests. The location for the money is the best part. It's on state street, which is the main downtown street in Santa Monica - you're about a 10 minute walk to the best part of the city center. You can also walk to the Santa Barbara Bowl which is a little over a mile and takes about 20/25 minutes.

The amenities are pretty bare bones, but there is a market less than a block away where you can grab anything you might need. The parking lot is very tight, so make sure that you get there right around check-in to park you car and secure your spot. The good news is that parking is free, so that's a plus.

I liked having a room just by the upper deck. The Presidio accommodated my room request for an upstairs, King room. The room was impeccably clean, the bed was super comfortable, and the staff accommodated my need for a tea kettle because I like to make my own coffee in the morning. Despite this being a quirky older building, the facility is well taken care of, paint is fresh, plants are tended and the upper deck is welcoming with lots of seating. The location is great, with Cantwells Market on the corner and it is centrally located. You could walk or rent one of their bikes for a cruise down State Street for lunch, shopping, etc

Since this faces State Street, expect street traffic. You could request a room in the rear end of the hotel to lessen the noise. Thankfully, Santa Barbara calms down at night and the traffic noise did not bother me. Also, I would have preferred if the deadbolt worked. The doorknob locks, but felt a little flimsy. I think replacing doorknobs and deadbolts on all rooms would be a good investment. Overall, I felt safe and was happy with my choice.

Good location, nicely renovated room (#6) everything worked as expected.

The walls were not very soundproof - fortunately neighbors were pretty quiet. But easy to hear the cars outside at night and in the morning as my room was adjacent to the parking. The rooms do not all have microwaves, but staff brought me one of the two they had.

The location is pretty good, close to the beach and a lot of restaurants, but if you want to borrow a bike from them, you need to do it fast since there are limited amount of bikes there. It takes around 40min to get to the beach walking, don't ask me how I know that though :(

The lights are a little bit dim and the wifi signals are not really good, but it's better than not having it at all I guess.
