Very comfortable room with a great bedding and shower, super friendly and warm hosts and an absolutely amazing homemade breakfast. We had the most fabulous and enjoyable stay.

Nothing. The place is a hellhole! My recent stay at Sunset Motel was an absolute nightmare. I went in expecting a clean and comfortable place to stay, but what I got was a disaster from start to finish. It was painfully obvious that the people running this motel couldn't care less about basic standards. Anyone even considering a stay at this establishment should run and seek accommodations elsewhere. Save yourself the trouble and find somewhere else to stay. Trust me, even camping in a tent would be a step up from this nightmare.

Very comfortable accommodation. Quiet room and location, and I particularly loved the jacuzzi and heated outdoor pool. These were a real treat in the cooler temperatures of the spring. The staff were mostly very polite and welcoming. I also appreciated the laundry room. Thank you for a great stay in Santa Barbara.
