"Get some sleep and then leave. There is no water, toothpaste, toothbrush and slippers. It is very close to the beach. It takes four or five minutes to walk and pass a traffic light. The hotel itself has no scenery, a little Southeast Asian style, and parking is free. A simple breakfast is provided, with only yogurt and orange juice. The bread is wrapped in plastic wrap and heated in the microwave. Energy bars and fruits are bananas, apples and oranges. There are still a few kilometers to drive to the attractions church and court."

"Motel 6 is a chain brand. There are three in Santa Barbara. Please check the address when booking. I made the mistake of booking this one. I drove to the beach ten kilometers away and found out I had made the mistake. Overall the rooms are quite decent, a little compact but have all the necessary facilities. It takes about ten minutes to drive to the beach. There is free hot water and instant coffee at the front desk. There is plenty of parking space for each room and there is a swimming pool."

There are many shops along the way, open to the beach and there are night markets selling a variety of vegetables and fruits, all very fresh. In particular, there is a 99-cent supermarket, which is cheaper to buy daily necessities and foods, vegetables and fruits, and buys a lot of things for more than a dozen dollars. I will have the opportunity to live in the future. Thank you!"

"Santa Barbara is beautiful, but this accommodation experience is really bad! The hotel room is very small compared to other hotels on Highway 1. The balcony room we chose was assigned to the side of the road, which has noise problems. The dining area for breakfast is very small and crowded. The worst experience is that I was asked to pay the room fee by credit card after the arrival. I repeatedly confirmed when the previous guarantee reservation would be released. The staff told me that the guarantee would be released 1-2 days after leaving the hotel, but I actually left the hotel on October 2nd. The guarantee had not been released when I posted the review. During this period, I consulted Ctrip's online customer service twice, and five people answered it before and after, but the problem was not solved at all. It took more than an hour each time, and I also answered domestic calls and spent phone bills. The guarantee has not been released yet (no other hotels on this trip had this problem, and the guarantee was released on the day of departure). A so-called complaint appeasement online customer service of Ctrip was even more inexplicable. In the second communication, not only did he not solve the problem, but he also offended me with very impolite words, which made me very unhappy! In short, the accommodation experience of this hotel is very bad"

The opposite road is the seaside. This is estimated to be worth a thousand. Otherwise, the price of more than 2,000 is quite worthless. It is very small and can't turn around. It is estimated that Santa Barbara is relatively niche. Many accommodations are cooperated with Ctrip. In fact, the price is not expensive. The appearance is better.

There is a block across the beach, the room is relatively simple, the parking lot is on a piece of land on the side, and the room has shoes in other rooms on the first floor of the corridor. Surprise is the simple breakfast snack, the fruit has fresh strawberry and blueberry granules, the ice juice box, and the juice drink at the front desk is very good.
