Quality Inn Santa Barbara

장점: 위치는 북부 주 거리였습니다. Lower State Street에서 차로 매우 가까운 거리에 있습니다. 위치가 좋고 조식이 무료입니다. 단점: 방음이 전혀 되지 않습니다. 이웃의 소리가 매우 선명하게 들리고 직원 등 누군가가 문을 지나갈 때 모든 소리가 명확하고 큰 소리로 들립니다. 또한 냉장고가 작동하지 않았습니다 :(

호텔은 샌타바버라에서 찾은 호텔 중 가장 저렴한 편인데, 체험이 꽤 괜찮고 깨끗해요. 방이 그렇게 크지는 않지만 잠자기에는 충분해요! 업무용 책상도 있습니다. 저를 서빙해주신 웨이터 Thomas와 Naid 두 분이 매우 열정적이었습니다. 아침에 일찍 와서 짐을 맡기고 떠날 때 저녁에 다시 체크인을 하러 왔어요. Toms는 저를 멀리서 Mr. Li라고 불렀습니다. 나, 정말 감동적이었어요. 찻집에서 뭐 마실거 없냐고 물어보니 오렌지 주스를 원한다고 했더니 오늘은 오렌지 주스가 나왔는데 내일 아침에 가능하다고 하더군요. 방에 도착한 후 Naid는 나에게 큰 1리터짜리 오렌지 주스 한 병을 주었습니다. 이는 또 다른 좋은 손길이었습니다. 호텔에 흡연할 수 있는 곳이 돌테이블과 휴지통 두 곳이 있는데 전체적인 느낌은 꽤 좋은데 산타바바라 물가가 너무 비싸요.

In one room the shower faucet didn't work right. In a second the temperature controller for the heater unit didn't work right. Otherwise, relatively OK, but, get this: will not service the room unless you pay an additional fee. Refrigerator, no microwave. Minimal coffee service, but is a free breakfast opening around 6AM. Pool.

The front desk people are super helpful. I have their names on my sticky notes, but I lost them. They really listen to your needs and solve the problems for you. They are also knowledgeable about the surrounding facilities.

This is an older motel a little bit north and west of the downtown. My room was kind of smallish but it did include a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee machine. Because of the layout of the structure, parking can be somewhat tight. However, free on-street parking can also be used. The motel is near both De la Vina and State Street, offering straight access to downtown. There are a few interesting restaurants nearby. The motel, itself, offers a free starter breakfast, including a waffle iron. And if you require daily housekeeping, contact the reception. I found them to be helpful.

The FROWNS: some of the walls in motel room were scuffed up and needed touch up painting; no microwave in rooms (had to make chamomile tea with lukewarm tap water from faucet); not enough parking on site for all patrons because they designated two spots for “members only” parking. Our daughter and husband booked a regular room but were given a H/C accessible room which they did not like (room odor). Management would not let them change rooms because they were “full”. They were promised a discount the next day but staff was nowhere to be found at checkout to obtain that “promised” discount. 👎🏼 The SMILES: AC is very quiet; they have outdoor tables for people who want to eat outside; they are one of the few motels that provides sugarless syrup for patrons who need to watch their sugar intake (there is a waffle machine in breakfast room); located in cute part of town; only a couple blocks away from a Trader Joe’s.
