The Presidio 1620 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101

"Good budget stay in a great location at the end of a busy part of state street. Clean room and comfortable bed. Would have been useful to have a microwave."

"Tastefully decorated and really clean room. One of the best places I've ever stayed. What a treat."

"WARNING!!!! STEER CLEAR! This Motel practice deceptive business practices. Bed bugs, poor management, management will not return calls to resolve a dispute we are going to the Santa Barbara County District Attorney's office for this problem to resolved. And we've notified Better Business bureau. Don't believe me? Try to contact a manager. You'll be told that one will get back to you. 3 months later and several phone calls nothing but crickets."

"First time we stayed here, it was great. This was the second time we stayed and it was decent. The bed is comfortable but the windows are thin so you can hear everything outside. A woman was smoking weed next door and it leaked into our room at 7am and it woke us up as we breathed it in! Who smokes at 7am?! Then the cleaners start cleaning early in the morning so you don’t get a goodnight’s sleep. A man knocked on my door around 7am, asking whether I had a truck parked outside. He should have really checked with reception rather than knocking on random people’s doors. I was half asleep… and I’m on vacation. Other than that, the front desk team are lovely and the sun deck is pretty especially when the sun comes out. Great location as downtown is literally minutes away."

"We spent two nights in the Presidio and loved it. The rooms are spacious and very clean. I loved the high ceiling and the bathroom was good too. The gentleman on reception was very cheery and welcoming. We were able to get ice from reception. Personally I loved the decking area which was great for a spot of reading or sunbathing. Location wise it's a fair walk into town but an interesting one. If you walk in the opposite direction there's a grocery outlet and Pasta Pronto. Santa Barbara is wonderful to explore, especially the bird sanctuary. It was a great place to stay."
