Sunset Motel is an affordable option located near the bus line and various restaurants. I had a very quiet and secluded room (207) so fortunately I did not hear other neighboring rooms which is a plus. The bed was very comfortable too. The furniture and decor is very dated which could use a good renovation. The A/C & heat worked well in the room. The biggest disappointment was no hot water to take a shower during my entire stay.

The property was charming, the room dated but clean and the area was quiet. The amenities were ok, check in smooth. I missed have some hangers in the room for my clothes. The cost was reasonable for Santa Barbara.

There the door didn't seal all the way (light would show through around the doorframe), and it could probably use some paint. But all went well, and I'd probably stay there again.

Good overall
Decent little motel in a convenient location in the city. Great little coffee shop next door (Vices & Spices). Room was comfortable, little run down but expected for an old motel. Overall good experience.
