What guests think

At Extended Stay America Suites - Santa Barbara - Calle Real, travelers frequently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and convenient location near the freeway and airport, and many appreciate the in-room kitchenettes for longer stays or simple meals.

Reviews are mixed on cleanliness, with repeated reports of odors, sticky floors and missed housekeeping alongside several mentions of very clean rooms. Rooms feel dated in places, with thin walls, noisy fridges or AC, and beds that some found uncomfortable, though many note they are spacious and suited to simple self-catering. Amenities are basic: breakfast is a minimal grab-and-go (coffee and muffins or oatmeal), kitchenware often must be requested, and there is little beyond parking. Expect a no-frills stay centered on location and kitchenettes.

Clean. Pretty quiet. Safe. Loud in-room refrigerator. 1 of 3 washing machines operating. Several dryers were also out of service. Dirty banisters in the stairwells. In-operable outside card reader at 1 of the doors. I would suggest it’s time to pay some attention to the property.

Pros: I appreciated the size of the room and kitchen set up. The staff was fairly quick on their responses to requests, but I feel that since I checked in at night, I didn't get the best intro to the hotel and information. I liked the convenient location and ample parking. Cons: The AC unit does not stay consistently on, so it makes a lot of noise when it turns on. Would've appreciated a more stable AC unit. The water was warm at best, making it difficult and uncomfortable to shower in the cooler weather. I expect that there would be hot water for my week long stay. Overall, good value for the price I paid, but not sure I would be back at this particular location.

It has been a while since I have stayed in an extended stay, but this was my budget friendly option. First the good. I was towing a trailer and load from Phoenix to Santa Barbra and back. So I needed a parking lot capable of storing said trailer, and maneuvering it around. We used google maps and the hotels address to look at a satellite image to determine if we could accomplish this. The hotel was located directly off the freeway with freeway and local access. There was a little shell convenient store, and a In and Out directly across the street. The people at the front desk were very nice and got us taken care of quickly. As for the room. It had 2 beds and plenty of pillows. Now for the bad. The room overall was fine however some upkeep seems to be neglected. The shower/tub faucet ran all 3 days we were there. There was more than a trickle coming out of the spicot even after tightening it as hard as I could. The floor in the bathroom, and room has all the same vinyl planking floor, but whatever they use to clean the floor with became sticky as soon as moisture hit it. So getting out of the shower or the pure humidity made our barefeet sound and feel like they were being stuck to the floor. Unlike the beds. They moved every time someone touched the mattress. Which by the way we could hear upstairs' moving around too. The bathroom door seemed to be missing paint in about a 2 foot scattered pattern.

Okay location. Limited on-site amenities. No ice maker, they expect you to use crappy ice tray and make your own. You have to borrow limited coffee makers, grab-n-go coffee ends at 9:30. Sheets and towels retained bleach smel, room smelled musty. Fridge door was all stained and dirty.

I was very disappointed there was no pool. I walked around the room with no socks on, and my feet were filthy, which means the floor wasn’t clean well. The person above me on the third floor ran in the room like a crazy person from 2 AM to 5 AM. I didn’t want to report it because people are so crazy. Now I didn’t want a stranger knocking at my door knowing I complained about the noise they were making. The first bed I slept in, was perfect. The second bed was OK. It wasn’t the worst trip I’ve ever had, but it definitely wasn’t the best.

It was really basic and normally all kitchenware is provided in the rooms. Here you have to request everything. Towels were thin and no shampoo, conditioner and bath soap offered/available. No ice machines either. Very basic lodging. Not even a real lobby. It was fine for the 1 night but probably wouldn’t stay here again.

She provided us with information on gran and go breakfast whcih she was honest. Oatmeal muffins a granola bars with coffee. We even were able to check in early and check out an hour later all due to thw kindness of the staff. The room was clean. You have to ask for paper towels plates and cups. But should have all your needs. We were happy as it was close to in and out for our aon and was close to where our sons La Crosse game was playin lg.

parking was fine, check in fine. there was NO Coffee Pot or Tea in the room. For a $270 per night room, where is the coffee pot? Don't be so cheap. Also the Elevator was slow, there was no pool, no jacquzzi, no weight room. The bedspread was Military issue, thin and unimpressive. No Shampoo or Condiitioner in the shower. Not. what I expected for Santa Barbara. And the "Breakfast Included", pathetic, lobby snack stand with packaged oatmeal and costco muffins. so sad. That was NOT breakfast, that was deceitful.

The floor was very sticky and bare foot showed the dark greasy on our legs Bathroom was clogged and sink has very slow drainage of water . Room was smelling something weird . We complained on clogged bathroom they asked us to come and pick the stick and unblock ourselves . Breakfast is simply tea bags and coffee We had hard time that night with kids it was really hopeless , with the hope extended stay was a brand to choose but never ever again I always booked with hotels.com because I always good hotels and pricing but this time I was waiting get out of the hotel and waiting to puke already .

This place is pretty gross and run down. You have to get shampoo at the front desk. If you want new bedding, you take it off your bed yourself and bring to the front desk and they give you new linens. No housekeeping unless you stay for 14 days. Staff was fine. Room was very clean. Bed was horribly uncomfortable. Walls are paper thin and we were woken up at 3am by the room next door “using their bed” so aggressively that our bed was shaking—we at first thought there was an earthquake. Its basically a seedy hotel. Santa Barbara is a safe area generally so it wasn’t scary but this place is bare bones.

The check was pretty easy. The room are not really modern. The biggest surprise was the internet charge, after paying for a day of service the system bogged down after a few hours of use. Upon my check out I notified the front desk clerk about the problem. She was really nice, but she said she was aware of the issue. She stated that they upgraded the system and been having problems and received previous complaints. You would think they would at least refund you a portion of the cost or the entire cost for a known issues with the system. I am glad I didn't stay multiple nights as I was intending to do. The easy access to freeways and quiet area was a plus.

When they did appear there were no apologies or greetings. Adia, I believe was their name, was unfriendly and seemed annoyed. The room was very tired and the bathroom was dirty. For the price, albeit it was a holiday weekend, was not worth the room. We will not be staying here again.

The room was spacious and it's conveniently located right off the freeway, aside from that, this place sucked. There are no smoking signs outside every door, yet it smelled like pot the whole time we were there. The beds were so uncomfortable, we hardly slept. The thermostat did not adjust the temperature properly, so it either got too hot or too cold in the room. The description says that breakfast is available, that is laughable. They had coffee, granola bars, and prepackaged muffins. I wouldn't call that breakfast. You had to ask for everything. We needed dishes and silverware, which were provided upon request. The shampoo was at the front desk and I think they had toothbrushes and toothpaste if you needed. You get what you pay for I guess. Happy New Year!

Sure! Here's a grammatically corrected version of your text: --- The room and bathroom are run-down with old appliances. There is no restroom in the lobby, and no shampoo in the bathroom. Calling breakfast "included" is borderline fraud. It's a grab-and-go setup on a small table with literally three items and coffee.
