The staff were so friendly and the rooms were nice and light and comfy beds! Good location for being in between the beach and the hiking area.

Not a huge amount of storage for clothes etc

Location is perfect - close to many shops, bars, restaurants, parks, etc. Not even a 10-minute drive to the beach. The room itself was super cute with heating and air conditioning - the bathroom had towels, soaps, lotions, etc. Decently sized space for a king-sized bed and closet area with mini fridge - everything I could ask for in a room for a weekend trip! Front desk staff was really nice as well.

Just two items to be aware of: 1) The bed is a bit soft; can feel like you're sinking into quicksand or another person if you're sharing the bed. 2) The noise. The walls are very thin and there's space under the door to let all kinds of sound and noise in. Bring earplugs if you're a sensitive sleeper.

Good location, helpful staff, lovely room. We arrived early and were able to check in. Love the colours on the soft furnishings in the room.

We were able to get a parking space outside the rooms, however the parking spaces were limited. There is parking provided overnight at the business next door so there would definitely be enough space for everybody staying, but there are time limits if parking there (not sure of exact times but I think the car would need to be moved in the morning). We stayed in cheaper places elsewhere that were just as nice or better but I think this is just Santa Barbara prices!

This is a small motel like property that has been upgraded to feel so much more. Well designed rooms, comfortable beds, nice bathroom. My room was close to the road but the windows cut the sound. I appreciated the modern mini split heat/cool instead of the old style rattling ac units.

Instant coffee! But did like having a kettle to make tea.

The check-in was easy and the staff were very friendly and informative about the surrounding area - given that it was dark when we arrived at night, that was very helpful for finding a restaurant (we booked online through Booking.com about 1 hour before we checked in). Our room was immaculately clean; the bed was comfortable, the room was warm and the shower had fantastic water pressure. The soap, shampoo and conditioner were each in refillable bottles; not individual sachets which cuts down on waste, a thing that both my wife and I liked. The interior design of the room was pleasant, it seemed to me to be a mix of Japanese and Mexican (apologies if I have gotten this wrong); it was your average motel room but Agave Inn's finishing touches throughout and it's cleanliness made it stand out for me. I would definitely stay at the Agave Inn again and I have already recommended it to friends; and I would do so to anyone. There are Japanese, Korean, Indian and Thai restaurants near by and also a pizza place; there are also a couple of bars too. Across the street there is a garden nursery, a fabulous French patisserie and a sandwich shop; all within the Loreto Plaza shopping centre.

Please do not read this as a criticism! Our room was the closest room to the road and traffic could be heard; I'm unsure what kind of window units that are currently used but maybe an upgrade would help to keep the traffic noise down a little more. Don't get me wrong, the noise of the traffic did not detract from my wife's and my stay but I'm sure some other people might be a little more precious.

The room was clean and comfortable. I was pleased to find out it was roomier than the pictures made it seem. Check in was easy and quick, and it was nice that we didn't have to deal with any room keys. The AC was great, although it wasn't hot when I stayed there. The bed was okay, not terrible but not the best. The parking is limited and a bit cramped, so those with bigger cars or trucks will find it pretty tight. There is overflow parking though. And the hotel is off a main street but wasn't particularly noisy. Overall it was a pleasant experience and had a better pricing than a lot of the other hotels in SB. I would definitely stay there again.

Big improvement over the two prior nights at the Santa Barbara Motel 6! This was a quaint little place. Comfy rooms. Felt very clean. Limited parking spaces, but I was able to snag one right in front of my room. Check in and out was super easy. I'd stay here again.

Wish there were more parking spaces (there's something like 10 spaces for 13 or so rooms). There are add'l parking spaces on the street behind or next door at the vet's for limited hours.

Our room was spacious and nicely decorated. Everything was sparkling clean, our room as well as the common areas. Felt like a home away from home. Parking in front of the property or right at the next house. Lady at the front desk was super nice and helpful.

Nothing

The staff was amazing! Very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were clean and spacious for my family of four.

Overall, the inn was great, but only if I were nitpicking… The entry to the location is a little steep for the busy area and you have to take your time otherwise you’ll scrape your car if it sits low. Also the soap/toiletries provided didn’t have the best fragrance.

Owners on site, great location, decor well done, attractive room with space to move around, excellent water pressure, linen service top notch, black-out drapes, starbucks coffee in room, fridge and microwave spotless, ambi3ent lighting great, TV service great.

WIFI could have been faster, Office not available after 9pm and before 9am, King mattresses very soft, stairs to both King Bed Rooms.
