Disliked: Amenities
The room was missing the baseboard and smelled of cleaning products. The bottom bedsheet was not a fitted sheet so when I pulled back the covers it revealed a huge stain on the bottom sheet. Gross. The mattress was so hard I laid out pillows to sleep on. However at 2:15 in the morning the “neighbors” came back drunk and started screaming and fighting. I packed up my stuff and headed home. Never again at the Sunset Motel.
The rooms were run down baseboards were old and unpainted

Sunset Motel is an affordable option located near the bus line and various restaurants. I had a very quiet and secluded room (207) so fortunately I did not hear other neighboring rooms which is a plus. The bed was very comfortable too. The furniture and decor is very dated which could use a good renovation. The A/C & heat worked well in the room. The biggest disappointment was no hot water to take a shower during my entire stay.
The location was super convenient as it was close to stores as well as the wedding venue. The beds were super comfortable and rooms were clean. The manager was very sweet as well.
The property was charming, the room dated but clean and the area was quiet. The amenities were ok, check in smooth. I missed have some hangers in the room for my clothes. The cost was reasonable for Santa Barbara.
