Top Hotels Near Scorpion Ranch Visitor Center in Santa Barbara

"Amazing, wish we stayed longer..Very nice place."

"The motel architecture is in a lovely Spanish style. There were a few homeless people around the corner, but it felt safe. The breakfast was consisting of toast and bagel, cream cheese, fruit, coffee and instant oatmeal. "

"My husband and I came across this property as we were trying to look for an overnight stay for our anniversary and what really caught my attention was the price for a beachfront view! All the other properties we looked into in the Santa Barbara area was almost double the price. And if you’re okay with an outdated building/room but with the most spectacular beach view with listening to the waves crashing in the nighttime, then look no further! Yes, we were hesitant in the beginning because the rooms are a bit outdated, but with the inspection I do in every hotel room that we step into, it was very clean! Room 11 is on the 2nd floor ( upgraded from a standard room) , with a King Twin bed, if you’re traveling with little ones and the room window looking out into the ocean was worth every penny ( to upgrade, roughly $100 ). Pros: -The young gentleman checking us in was very friendly, housekeeping staff as well -Continental breakfast from 7:30am-10am for their guests - Clean rooms -Breathtaking view Cons: - Limited parking -Restrooms in the room was outdated but clean -You can ONLY hop on 101South from the property and get off next exit just to hop back on to 101North to head into Santa Barbara or anywhere in that direction. -You can hear the footsteps of other guests that is on the same floor as your room. Would definitely book again in the near future ! "

"Dog friendly hotel, this is a must! Well kept grounds, area for dog to do their business, friendly staff, quiet for the most part minus the road bumps where our room was the cars go over them fast and makes loud sounds, we had dinner there to go, no room service options (you can order but you pick up your own food), food for dinner wasn’t the greatest, but would stay there again! "

"Enjoyed staying here - would note that it smells very musty and moldy like a run down beach hotel. But it was a fine stay short-term. "

"Very friendly and kind staff. Was nice surprise to have a fireplace in the room."

"Loved having a room overlooking the harbor. Breakfast staff was great on Memorial Day weekend."

"All good "

"This hotel has a great location, just a short walk along the scenic harbor to Ventura Harbor village, with several great restaurants and stores, a beach etc! The accomodations are comfortable and my room had a little balcony and a great view! The free breakfast was a nice perk too! "
