I didn't take pictures BUT the bed was actually more comfortable than I expected. The mattress felt to be of good quality. I was shocked that we were not provided with hand soap. The room is equipped with a microwave and small fridge. We only stayed one night and our room was on the second floor. The walls are thin. You can hear people walking by and talking. This works for a cheap stay and short trip/ visit. Parking is tight. You are given a hand written permit for your vehicle at check-in. read more

I recently visited Santa Barbara for my birthday and decided to stay here. I made reservations over the phone about a week prior, and when I checked in, I found out that they had made a mistake on my reservations. This was such a surprise to me and made me upset. I had to leave my birthday trip a day early because they were fully booked. I believe they should've accommodated me for their mistake. I had to cancel certain plans that I had in Santa Barbara and purchase another Amtrak ticket because of this issue. The employee who booked my stay made it seem like it was my problem and took no accountability for her mistake. I have the email to prove that the days I reserved are accurate. read more

I highly recommend this place. It was affordable and across the street from Gelson's in the bookstore. The family suite is wonderful. There are two full-size beds a large closet area and a separate kitchen which has a fold out futon which converts to a full bed with a TV also in it. The kitchenette was well stocked with a cooktop, pots and pans, microwave and large fridge. It was quiet enough and a great deal. Will stay here again. read more

Oasis Inn and Suites - Kiddo - Hotels Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

We stayed in a family suite here in September 2024. The Oasis is a nice little hotel with some slight blemishes... Downsides: expensive, no breakfast (coffee in lobby but it's very average), small beds especially for the price ($235/night), unbelievably slow internet (4mb/s; our home internet is 490+mb/s), unheated pool. Upsides: nice ambience, polite and helpful staff, easy parking, many with shade trees, pool is nice and refreshing even if unheated, LOTS of stores, good restaurants, and even a great bakery right across the street. we would go again but only if the price were negotiable. read more

Unexpectedly nice stay. I booked this motel as a place to stay for my brewpub crawl. I wasn't looking for much but a place to sleep off the beers. I arrived before noon but the staff told me the earliest I could check in is 2 pm. No big deal as hotel policy online notes 3 pm. Parking was fine but some spots seemed a little tight. I had a corner spot so I was good to go. I came back around 8:30 pm and checkin was a breeze. The staff was friendly and efficient. The room was a lot better than I expected. It had a kitchenette with a stove and microwave. Full size fridge. Cooking and eating utensils. Paper towels dispenser. The bed and bathroom were good. The only real issues I had were the bar soap's refusal to lather and fridge noise from time to time. I will definitely consider staying here again. read more

Charming inn, not such a charming experience. Cant say that I would stay again for the price I paid. The pros: - Decent location, about 3-5 miles from most destinations in Santa Barbara - Cute exterior, lots of plants and stained glass/painted tile themes! - Room had good space and good lighting - Bed was comfortable, if you like FIRM mattresses - TV was up to date and lots of available channels The cons: - Wifi was not working the entire stay - Many appliances were sticky and/or wet, including the tv remote, radio, and AC remote - Parking lot is tiny and cramped - Stains on a couple of pillowcases - Our radio started making creepy static at night... so we had to unplug it - Shower/bath does not have a door, just a half-glass wall, so some water might spray out Be sure to bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and body wash because the 2-in-1 and body soap that they provide is not enough nor very cleansing. If I'm looking for a hotel in the area again I'd find somewhere with better reviews at competitive prices. read more

First of all, the free Wi-Fi did not exist. I called to complain about it the afternoon I arrived. The guy said he reset it. He apparently blames me for not checking back in with him to tell him it was still not working. In the morning, it *was* still not working and the morning clerk said she reset it. But it continue to still not work. I provided ample evidence of this but no discount was offered for the lack of a promised service. I was offered an apology and a 10% discount on my next stay there. As if. It's not just the Wi-Fi that I needed and was not there. The showerhead was calcified and gross. The bathroom vent sported a big brown spot. And the remote control for the room wall AC looked as if a Petri dish had spilled onto it. I give them two stars because the bed was comfy and there was free parking. read more

Cute to look at but watch out !! Charged for a towel having a stain. What?! Huh?? Yes you are reading correctly ... after checking out got a charge on card. Called and was told they found a stain on a hand towel so they charged $15 for it. What stain? Hmmm maybe because the coffee maker leaked, shower sprays water all over the bathroom? How is a stain a thing their commercial grade cleaning would have no problem removing ? Eeew what else " doesn't it remove "? Yikes Not to mention no tv remote, & freezer broken. Very disappointing to have our experience with this motel turn out to be crummy. Sneaky charging feels like a practice they are accustomed to so watch your credit card after staying here folks !! ‍ smh read more

This is the most disgusting and nasty place I've ever been. My friend didn't do enough research and the picture looked ok online but it was not worth more than 50 bucks a night here. We payed close to 300 a night. The sheets are dirty with hair all over, furniture is old, musty smell, dirty appliances and bed hard as rock. Our bathroom sink didn't flow quick. It really doesn't get worse and we were up til 4am because of drunk ass neighbors aside from us and on top of our hotel. There was a whole gathering of 10 drunk kids by the stairs. No way would I ever recommend this place or come back here. read more

Very clean, well appointed room in great location. Have stayed here a few times when visiting the area and highly recommend.

My stay was for 9 days. Didn't realize they have room service everyday unless you put the sign on your door not to come in. This place looks like it's been recently remodeled. It's fairly priced and a nice room. Walls are pretty thin and you can here everything, and I mean everything. Parking spots are a bit tight so hopefully the person next to you stays within the lines. Overall, I would definitely stay again on my next visit. read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND! If I could give no stars I would, my dad paid close to $300 for one night. AND they asked us to leave a $100 deposit. Umm... what?!? The pictures tricked us into thinking it was going to be better than it actually was, plus they sell you on the idea that it's on state street, but really it's far from the true downtown area. Breakfast is low quality for the amount of money they charge you- there was two types of cereal and stale bagels. Furthermore, they only served one small pot of coffee. The beds are extremely hard and uncomfortable. The pool is so cold we couldn't even get inside. Bathroom was okay and clean, other that the furniture was old and need to be replaced. Please don't come here, save your money and get a better hotel! read more

This little place is a gem! Very clean and the staff is amazing. I really don't know why it has such low ratings.

This is a great hotel located between downtown Santa Barbara and Goleta. The staff was great the room was updated and clean the the bed was comfortable. They have a pool area and many places on the property to sit and hang out and relax. Overall a great experience! read more

Wifi doesn't work, there's not enough parking, the beds are like rocks, there was backflow sewage into our tub, and the coffee in the room is a single package. Everything about this place screams "bare minimum". Barely any effort has been made to improve it. The rooms were renovated, but again, it's just the minimum. The lamps have shades but they don't cover the bulbs, so they are too bright to use. Unlike normal hotels, they charge every dollar up front, and not after checkout. It seems that they want to take your money and make it difficult to get it back. Nothing about charging for every night upon check in makes sense. I am not giving it two stars because it's bad, but because it seems like they only cared enough to make some token improvements without trying anyway else, while taking your money. read more

What a lucky find! Oasis is a newly remodeled, budget motel in Santa Barbara... bet that's not easy to come by. I think all the super negative reviews must be from before the remodel (or maybe some of the other rooms haven't been updated yet?) because our room is great. Sure, it has that 'antiquated look with slightly worn finishes but, the carpet, bedspreads, flat screen TV, fridge and bathroom are all new. Also, though I'm not sure if they're new, the beds seem to be, and they are firm and comfortable. The sheets also look new as they are crisp, clean and white... in a modern style. Someone has put a lot of thought and work into how this little hotel looks lately. I also love the exterior. It has that old Spanish feel with tiles and nice gardens. There's a pool on site, though I haven't checked it out. Notes: Free Wi-Fi and dogs are allowed. Be sure to bring conditioner for your hair though as they only provide shampoo. (I only use my own stuff, anyway.) Overall, I'd recommend it to a friend and stay here again on my next trip. At under $100 before taxes, it's a good find for the area. Might see ya there! read more

Myself and about 20 rugby mates descended upon the Oasis Inn last weekend and all was well, for the most part. The rooms were nice and clean. We were upgraded to a suite for some reason, which was nicer than your run-of-the-mill motel room. The room came equipped with a little kitchenette, a flat screen TV, and a nice bathroom. At $80/night..it was a great deal, especially in Santa Barbara. It slept four people pretty comfortably with a fold-out couch. We were about 2 miles from the bars on State St. so the location was great for us. Not quite walk-able, but close enough to cab it. There was also some continental breakfast available in the morning with pastries, bagels, coffee and tea. My only complaint was that the manager knocked on our door at about 3 AM and threatened to call the police if we didn't pay him $100 on the spot. Granted, we were being noisy, but being threatened to pay up or be "left out on the street" was more than a little souring. Fortunately one of the guys talked to him outside and he calmed down a bit. Apparently he was going through some life issues and just needed someone to talk to. I don't fault him for that, and he didn't actually go through with kicking us out, so all is well...but it was a little scary. Our ride came super late the next day, and the staff were nice enough to let us lounge around the parking lot and even in one room until our transportation arrived. The Oasis Inn is a fine place to stay in Santa Barbara, I would come back if the manager will have me. read more

My family and I searched up a place to stay during the weekend of August for my Dads birthday. Turns out, our of all the hotels I searched up, they were all over $400+ a night and I'm like shocked. But there was this place I found that only got us at least less than $300 a night. Our overall stay in this place was good... they might not have breakfast because of this pandemic but our stay was overall satisfied. I am giving this review a 4-star review because the room itself was an okay satisfactory... the bathroom we had was so bright and clean!! It's like it was a newly renovated bathroom. Too bad I didn't take a photo to show you all. One of the best bathroom I've seen so far. Out if all the hotels I've stayed at Santa Barbara, that bathroom was great! But the whole room itself was kinda old, the fridge was missing some parts, the door was kinda old with chipped wood, and other things. But I would for sure come back here with the family if there's no more available hotels to book our stay for that specific weekend in the future. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this Inn considering the reviews and photos posted online. I was in town for a business trip and decided to stay so I needed a last minute booking. This inn was accommodating and able to take me on a late check in. The staff was very friendly and the location was easy to spot from the roadway. I found the overall decor to be more Inn and "motel" like and it was comfortable, clean and in good working order. The location was quiet, parking lot appeared safe and there was good lighting around the property. The cost was excellent and compared to some of their surrounding competitors, I was happy to that I chose this location after passing their competition on the road. I would choose to stay here again if I travel to that part of town again. read more

Learned from this place to not judge a book by its cover. Oasis Inn looks like a Motel 6 but it is definitely not. I arrived earlier than I thought and my room wasn't ready. Luckily the front desk rep had another King suite that was available so we got to switch rooms. The rooms are super spacious, comfy bed, lots of towels, huge tv and a mini kitchen that they provide cookware and silverware for. They only provided one bottle of shampoo/conditioner and two bars of soaps. The area was very clean and I was never itchy from anything. What's great is that there is a ice maker machine and vending machine for soda, juice and water. The outside area was well kept. There was a designated smoking area which was nice and the pool was clean too. Overall this place was really nice. The staff was efficient and nothing went wrong. The downside of the place is the water from the shower head is slow so washing my hair was a pain, the parking is very compact that when you back out you might hit the car that's parked on the other side. Getting to and from the area isn't super convenient. I went to Gelsons Market across the street and there was no easy way to get back to the motel except waiting super long and cutting someone off or waiting a while to make a quick left. It's a really busy intersection but I managed to get by. This place is great, I highly recommend the King suite if you need to stay somewhere for a few days. read more

The beds are a bit smaller than expected the biggest one being in the kitchen area and is a pull out bed. I came with a party of five, so we usually get bigger rooms. The water pressure for showering was low but that's how most hotels are. There was a microwave and fridge in our unit which was great. Two different tv. The only big issue is parking. I counted 18 parking spaces but 20+ rooms. I also did not see signs for additional parking. Luckily my party and I found parking each time we came. They have a nice pool area. They also have tables by the pool area and on our first night we brought out poker cards and played there it was very chill. They also have wifi. read more

Oasis Inn has a good location, just a 10 minute drive from the downtown area. It's in a safe area with decent stores across. The place is cute, has some nice outdoor areas and cute Spanish tiles. The bathroom is nice, newly remodeled. They could have more toiletries, though. Upon our arrival, we got upgraded to a bigger suite, but the catch was another suite upstairs. A family with little kids stayed up there and the baby started crying at 1 am and they woke us up early the next morning, running back and forth continuously, making noise till we had to leave the room and check out. We lost so much sleep. I wish we weren't "upgraded" since this was an anniversary trip and we wanted privacy and quiet and the room we were supposed to get initially didn't have another floor on top. We complained at the top desk in the morning and the lady working said that the manager will call us. He never did. Also, upon arrival, the smoke alarm kept beeping. The guy from the front desk was never around, had to chase him down. He changed the batteries, but it kept beeping and he took it out. Don't know if that's legal. Room could have been cleaner, it was pretty dusty and I noticed a bug on the microwave. The hot water never got hot. Breakfast was a poor excuse for a mediocre meal. We skipped it. Price was kinda high for this type of hotel. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with the Oasis Inn and Suites. Not located in the touristy area of Santa Barbara, but in the Upper State Street area near MacKenzie Park. And if you're familiar with the area, as I am - you can appreciate NOT being around tourists, and still readily find all you need within walking distance. Restaurants, groceries, bars, gas, or even a haircut. It's an area of Santa Barbara more frequented by residents. The hotel has an outdoor pool, but few other amenities other than fresh coffee in the office in the morning. The rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious, and everything functions as it should. The only real downside I saw was my room's was the road noise due to it's proximity to busy State Street. read more

We booked this hotel for an overnight stay but our flight didn't make it till the next day. They were nice enough to let us checking in the morning till 1:30pm with no additional charge which was super helpful as we didn't get to sleep the night before so we got some sleep and prepared for our friend's wedding. When we arrived they were serving complementary breakfast which included coffee, tea, milk, pastries, fruit, cereal and bagels with cream cheese and jam. Our room was on the second floor, lots of windows and sunlight and had ac. It was clean to our satisfaction. We liked our stay and appreciated letting us checkout late. We wish we could have spent more time there to explore the area and take advantage of the room more. read more

The place itself is not horrible. BUT... I am currently in a room with a large group of drunk men nextdoor and they are sitting outside drinking, swearing and are VERY LOUD!!!!! I complained ti management, asked for a different room and they said No! Two hours now of listening to this. Never ever again will I stay here. read more

This is a quirky and neat little place to stay in SB! It's like a little villa right across from Harry's! What could be better! It's clean and comfy and safe. Reasonable price. Stayed here a few times now and will again! Ernesto at the front desk is very friendly and accommodating! Fun little hang out area in the middle of the property, even with a nice enough pool! Not the ritz but a fantastic place to stay. read more

This hotel manager is absolutely the worst! Judging from the negative reviews, apparently the hotel is horrible as well. I made a reservation here, and cancelled, but was still charged $213.68 for one nights stay. The manager was unapologetic, rude, condescending, and uncooperative. I would recommend staying anywhere else, as they care nothing for their guests. Spend your money elsewhere, it may be more expensive, but there are plenty of great hotels in Santa Barbara that care about their guests, and won't take advantage of them. read more

Very disappointed by the motel-6 feel of this property as the pictures here were not the true projection of how the property looks and feels. Most pictures seems to have been taken with a wide camera lens as the property itself looked not quite similar to what you would expect. Paid $390 for one night at this place which felt like a $60 stay-over to me. Very overpriced and misleading! Location is 4 miles away from the beach and there's not much Santa Barbara-ness to it. Worst of all, the drunk and loud next door neighbors partied with loud TV on until 2:30 AM which left me and my fiancé pretty much up and annoyed the whole night. There was no management on site to maybe call them out so overall a very bad experience with this establishment. The room itself was quite stuffy and gloomy but the shower/bathroom looked clean and decent. Would not recommend this place at all. read more

This place is a gem ! The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The front desk was very helpful! They have a pool but it's not heated . In a central location , we walked to breakfast .

I had a reservation unfortunately had a family emergency I needed to cancel and they were not wanting to cancel and give me a refund. This makes me understand at this kind of business it's all about money it doesn't understand when a family emergency arises in this we need to work with a customer. I even would've understood if they would've prorate it and give me a 50% refund. While Expedia tried their best to work with this vendor they would not meet the customer half way or was willing to understand that emergencies arise. This being a reality of the quality of service, I cannot recommend this business read more

Ok, this is the truth and nothing but! Single 50 something female traveling alone, I feel very safe here. The room (at least mine, #2) is VERY CLEAN!!!! Looks remodeled last 5 yr. The place doesn't or, hasn't had any loud music or guests. I see no pets or smokers lingering outside. The property is rough. So when you pull up .... It looks like a place I'd keep driving past! But my room is great, the bed, sheets and everything is working and clean. They need to take 1,000 and paint their yRd furniture, get some grass seed, paint ,and flowers. They could charge more if it didnt look sooo rough !!!!! read more

*STAY ELSEWHERE* Christ knows it's 11:30pm on a Saturday night on the first week that Santa Barbara is open during COVID, I'm being knocked on my door to be quiet for talking too loud. You stuck me in a SHIT room bordering the office with paper thin walls. What do you expect. And my room wasn't clean when I arrived at 5pm(check in is 3pm). Called and had it cleaned when I went to dinner. Waking up with neck pains from the paper filled pillows is great, however, I woke up alive so I gave ya 2 star. Thanks read more

Oasis Inn and Suites - Boogers on the sheets from the previous occupants. - Hotels Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

STAY AWAY! THIS PLACE IS DISGUSTING!!!!! I came to SB for a job interview and since the area is so nice, hotels/motels are quite expensive. I chose Oasis because the reviews were decent and the price was OK. I arrived and the lady that was working behind the counter was very nice. I got my room key and unloaded all my stuff into my room. Right after that, I realized how filthy my room was. The first thing that I noticed was gum that was stuck to my blanket. There was makeup and snot stains on all my pillows. There was long brown hair in between the bed cover and the sheets. There was also gunk on the floor. In between the fridge and the shelf it sat on, there was heavy dust and spider webs. I went to the front desk and told them that I was going to need a new room. Immediately, that lady that was so nice at the beginning, became very rude. She asked me what was wrong and I told her that my room was filthy and I even brought the worst pillow in to show her so she knew I wasn't just complaining over nothing. She told me that they couldn't really do anything because I checked in an hour ago. REALLY?!? You think in 1 hour, I decided to grow long brown hair, play around with makeup, and rub snot all over the room?! First of all, I'm a man that's by himself so obviously the long brown hair and makeup wasn't me. And WHAT BENEFIT would it serve me to make my room dirty!?! Yeah I totally want to pick up all my stuff that I just unloaded, pack it up, and move to another room! YOU GOT ME! So the lady behind the counter comes to my room because she wants me to show her everything going on in my room. She pretty much tried to dismiss all my complaints. I told her that since they wouldn't give me a different room, I wanted them to void the charges on the credit card and that I was going to stay somewhere else. She said that I could do that. She goes outside to call her manager to let her know what was going on, then barges right back in the room (still technically mine at the moment so a knock would have been nice) and says, "So.... how fast do you think you can be out of here?" EXCUSE ME?! I'M SORRY, AM I INCONVENIENCING YOU BY NOT WANTING A FILTHY ROOM?! She basically told me that she needed me to leave within the next couple minutes because their maid was about to go home for the day and since my room was filthy, I was requiring her to stay later than she needed to in order to clean the room. MAYBE if she cleaned it properly the FIRST TIME, we wouldn't have this problem??! About 2 minutes later, the maid knocks on the door and I open it up. She barges right in (while my hands are full of all my stuff because I'm trying to get out of there). She grabs the chair in the room and places it RIGHT IN THE DOORWAY to keep the door open and apparently doesn't care that it COMPLETELY impeded me from leaving the building. TERRIBLE customer service TERRIBLE maid service TERRIBLE place to stay read more

I had hoped this hotel/motel would be worth the The ridiculous amount we had to pay. The room has a new mattress that's the good thing the bad thing the mattress feels like you're sitting on a piece of plywood. The lighting inside is terrible you can't see anything. We found the window wide-open so anybody could've broke in how they wanted to. There is no Internet to speak of in this day and age we had a whopping 3 MB download speed. When asked for help in fixing this I said well you're connected that's all that really matters. I wouldn't spend my money here again on a bet you're best off going anywhere else down the block from this place. Yeah it's that bad.. read more

Horrible customer service! Deployed with Corps of Engineers in support of debris mission in Santa Barbara and Montecito. Booked 4 nights through government travel agent at Govt rate. Confirmed reservation. Arrived near midnight 1/16/2018. Told by front desk my reservation was given away as Govt credit card was declined. Impossible! I rented a vehicle and bought gas with that card. Sure enough, I called Citibank re: credit card. They verified someone from Oasis tried to run card, BUT entered the wrong expiration year! Incompetence! They claimed they tried to contact travel agent but was unsuccessful. The Govt travel agent is open 24 hours for such emergencies! I called travel agency and they were able to get me in Courtyard Marriott Goleta. Told the front desk, and she confirmed Oasis is a horrible hotel. Her first hotel position was at Oasis, and she said if they ever saw a single female with two males in the rooms, they were to contact the police. How is that for an Oasis! I count myself lucky!! read more
