Excellent location just across the street from the boat harbour and within a couple of blocks of both Leadbetter beach (and a beach cafe) and the beginning of the main shopping and eating district of downtown Santa Barbara. While it's a modest motel type hotel, it is clean, well-run with a lovely pool and tasty breakfast service.
