La Playa Inn Santa Barbara

9.5/10
Amazing
Posted on Oct 3, 2024

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.

The room was small and pitiful, and when I got up in the morning, the door of the bathroom was inexplicably saved. The surrounding environment was very good, but it felt very messy. There were South Americans with huge sounds flying everywhere. I won’t go again. .

The location was convenient and it was great for travelers with a car to park, because you can take the car out if you like or just leave it parked. We were able to walk to our dinner one of the nights and it was only a short drive for breakfast. I loved the balcony, it was the best way to enjoy the winter sun.

【よかった点】 立地が最強です! サンタバーバラ駅からこちらのホテルが見えるほど近いです。駅から徒歩2分ほどで到着します。 ・ホテルの共用部に電子レンジや飲み物などが設置されており、無料でパンも提供されています。パンはとても美味しかったです。 ・無料でお酒が一杯飲めます。ホテルの方が作ってくれます。 ・ホテルもとてもおしゃれです!隅々まで凝らしてあるので、ホテルの内部にも目を向けてみると楽しいです。 【いまいちな点】 ・お風呂 トイレとお風呂が近すぎ、かつ狭いです。かなり使いにくいので、要注意です。

We would book this accommodation again if we were to travel to Santa Barbara again. There are many restaurants, a great bookstore (Chaucer's) and a large supermarket (Gelson's) directly across from the accommodation. The pool is not heated, which is really not necessary in the summer. In the morning, coffee and hot water for tea etc. is available at the reception.

Good and clean hotel. Rooms look newly renovated and were comfortable and spacious even when we had 2 big luggages. We had a car so going around the city wasn't difficult for us and the location was decent. Waffle machine at breakfast was a nice and different addition which we enjoyed. Would recommend

There is a buffet in the afternoon. There is wine and fruit biscuit cheese. Very good. The room was very very clean. The bedding is soft. The room is small, and the family recommends a large room type. 2 minutes walk from the train station.

Room facilities are simple and like this style. There are great pools and bars in the public area. The hotel is located in the center of Barbara and is very convenient to walk to the main street. You need to drive to the beach and charge $30 a day for parking.

Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - State Street

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.
