The parking was very easy. The staff was very friendly and helpful during our stay. The room was clean but on our last day after we got back from dinner, we had black ants all over our floor and climbing the wall. The staff did come to clean them so we appreciated that. Other than the ants we loved staying there because it was close by to everything. I would love to stay there again.

Wish there was a bit more storage or shelves in the room. Great for a one night stay but anymore than that and a dresser/closet or bench would have been appreciated. The property is adorable, it’s our second day and we will definitely come back.

Absolutely loved this hotel. Stayed here for a weekend wedding and it was absolutely perfect. Everything you need is in walking distance. Employees were super helpful and so nice. The room was very cute and clean with a beachy vibe. I also loved how easy check in and check out was. There was no need to ever go into the lobby because everything was online. Plus they were so fast I was able to check in by 1 pm.

This boutique Motel is a block away from State Street. The grounds were very nicely decorated with plenty of seats available. There is no swimming pool here as it looks like they might have converted that into a sand area. The Motel was converted back in 2018 and has a nautical theme. The hotel is pricey for what you are paying for without the premium aspect of it. The Hostkey app did not work to retrieve my key. Had to check in to the front desk and get a physical key for our room. Parking is $15 a night and is right outside the property and is a public parking lot. The staff here are nice, but definitely over priced for what you get. Plus, the AC in our room did not work and there were only 2 bath towels in the room, even though I indicated that there were 3 people. There's no door on the shower, so the floor will get wet. I don't like that the toilet is right next to the shower because if someone just took a shower, the floor will be wet in that area. If pricing was lower, I wouldn't mind staying here again, but not at $500 for a Saturday night.

The hotel is in a great location and the courtyard is great with fire pits, comfortable seating and games. The hotel itself is really just an old Motel. It would be great if there was seating inside the room, other than bed. Also coffee in the room would be nice based on the price. I suppose if “no plastic straws and biodegradable stir sticks” are listed as amenities, you can’t expect a lot.

The location of the hotel is perfect just minutes away from State St and wharf, where you find places to eat or shop. We went walking up State St, noticed a free shuttle service that we took back after not realizing how much we had walked.
The rooms are small but clean and has everything you may need including a microwave which is a plus, a lot of hotels no longer have them in the rooms. Lots of games on the premises also they have bikes you can use first 2 hours are free after that theres a charge. Parking lot is right next to the hotel charge $15 a night. We will definitely return.

First day we got there we noticed that all the windows were open, which is strange because I’ve been to tons of hotels that are usually locked. I closed the windows and turned the “AC” on and went on with our night. When we got back to the hotel it was SUPER hot inside. Went to check the thermostat and it was on but the AC was not blowing any air. I went downstairs to let the staff know of the situation and he offered to raise the thermostat in my room and I told him I had already done. He then he went on to tell me that THE AC IN MY ROOM HASNT BEEN WORKING.
My gf and I had to sleep with the windows open. With all that noise until 2-3am.

Haley Hotel is a charming idiosyncratic place that is a refreshing change from chain hotels. Its decor is all based on a nautical theme and the courtyard is abundant with flowers. Bed was very comfortable. The front staff were charming and helpful, a welcome change from some imperious and officious front desk staffers I have occasionally encountered. Excellent location if you enjoy walking, to downtown State street restaurants and theaters.

But even with all of that, it was a nice place, within walking distance to everywhere that you want to go! Toiletries provided, smelled so good, I bought some body wash to bring home.

The room was not properly cleaned — there was hair throughout, and the AC was not functioning well. Overall, the property feels overrated for what it offers.

At check-in, the front desk staff member was wearing AirPods while speaking with me, which came across as unprofessional and inattentive.

It feels like the focus here is more on cutting costs than on delivering basic hospitality, which ultimately makes the experience unwelcoming.

Such a sweet little hotel with a fun patio that’s perfect for late-night conversations by the fire, stargazing, and playing games. I absolutely loved the room we had.

It can be fairly loud at night, so either be a sound sleeper or take advantage of the complimentary earplugs. The beds were comfortable, and the room was very clean. The AC worked perfectly, and we also used the ceiling fan. The fireplace feature was actually really cool — it was my first time seeing one like that!

They offer a selection of snacks and drinks in the room (some available for purchase). The small fridge and microwave definitely came in handy during our weekend stay — especially for wine and water.

The staff member who assisted us at check-in, Breez (I’m sorry if I’m not remembering the name exactly), was incredibly helpful and courteous. Thank you for your patience and for going above and beyond to assist us!

Our room was clean, well decorated and up to date. The location is perfect, close to tons of dining options, shopping, night life and the beach. The staff are all super friendly. We were able to check in remotely and access a digital key for entry. Although it worked well the first few times we used it, we did have a little trouble with it but we were able to get a physical key from the staff with no problems.

Though the staff were friendly and professional, this hotel is way overpriced for what it offers. The noise levels are high from nearby State St, and sirens etc. At over $500 per night, you would expect something with decent soundproofing and excellent amenities, but that was not the case. You can get an amazing hotel on the beach (Hilton or Mar Monte) for just over $100 more and get a much more luxury experience. This is a $250-300 value hotel.

Cute But Lacking Amenities

I recently had a an overnight business trip in Santa Barbara and decided to stay at the Hailey Hotel. I checked the photo online before I booked and thought this place looks like it’s cute and has a lot to offer. When I arrived I realized I had to check in online, get my key online, and checkout online. The lobby is really just a desk and no food, beverages, or other items to purchase. The grounds were nice if you want to chill and play corn hole. The room was clean, but the rooms were designed like they were trying to look like they were balling on a budget. Best feature was they are located a block from State Street which has so many options for food and drink.
