“Retro style hotel/motel near Santa Barbara”

We stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Santa Barbara (it’s about a 12 minute drive to SB). This property has more of a retro, mid-century feel, kind of like a motel (it’s 1-2 stories with rooms exiting to the outdoors) but has been renovated (it reminds me of the places in Palm Springs).

Good restaurant on site (we had breakfast there one day). Small vinyl listening room in the lobby if you’re into that :). Theres also a good Thai restaurant (and 1-2 coffee shops) across the street to the west. Not a luxury property but room was fine (although we did hear the cleaning carts rolling on the concrete floor in the morning…it would be nice if they found a quieter way of doing that). Parking is $20/night but FYI there is regular street parking surrounding the property.

The Good: clean, cute and tasteful decor. The Bad: no soundproofing, charging $20/night for parking despite having a vast, open parking lot. There was no fan in the bathroom. Room had a stale smell.

The Good: clean, cute and tasteful decor. The Bad: no soundproofing, charging $20/night for parking despite having a vast, open parking lot. There was no fan in the bathroom. Room had a stale smell. Could hear our neighbors watching TV, using toilet, etc. we were awoken several times during the night by very loud yelling. While checking out, I asked the front desk employee if he knew what had been going on in the middle of the night with all the screaming. Before I could even finish my sentence he quickly said “I wasn’t here. I’ve been off for 3 days”. No “sorry that you had noise issues” or even acknowledging what I was telling him. My husband and I left disappointed in our stay at the Leta and both felt it was more motel than hotel for what we paid. Our stay was over $800 for 2 nights after tax and parking.
