Accessibility: 59 accessible rooms with exterior corridors

Location: Walk to dining on Upper State Street
“In my opinion, its Santa Barbara location and pet-friendly policy, where dogs stay at no extra charge, are definite advantages; add to that free Wi-Fi and local calls, which are bonuses for this budget category. While rooms can be inconsistent, I think the outdoor pool is a nice touch. For those on a budget who value convenience and don't mind basic accommodations, this could be a reasonable choice.”
