Good location and helpful staff!

Liked:The location was great, the place was clean, and the staff were helpful.

Disliked:The building felt quite old, and the room windows were outdated and somewhat confusing to operate. The doors were also difficult to open, especially the bathroom door. Considering the price, I expected the rooms and facilities to be in better condition. This was not my first time in Santa Barbara, and based on my previous experiences, I know there are better places available at a similar price.
