My husband and two small children and I have stayed here twice in January for one-stays on the way up the coast. Both times we were given an "upgrade" to a larger room with a small kitchen. The room is large enough for two double beds and a fold-out bed. The room is brightly lit and decorated with red and... More

The Agave Inn was just as described by the previous positive Tripadvisor posts. Affordable, clean (yes, smelled of bleach when we walked in the door, which my wife likes) and with its own funky southwestern style, including colorful walls and other stylish accoutrements. Yes, the room is a bit on the small side, but nicely apportioned. The flat-screened TV, coupled... More

We stayed at the Agave Nov. 23rd, 2011 for three days at the recommendation of local family. It was the one of the best values for the money in Santa Barbara. The small motel locally centrally on State Street, was very clean with adequate room facilities. Our room had two queen beds and a sleeper sofa, corner unit on the... More

The Agave Inn has small rooms and is a small hotel. Parking is scarce. The carpeted floors are really dirty and need cleaned. But there is a fridge and microwave in each room, a flat screen TV, and the rooms are clean (other than the carpets). It's a safe, well located, mom-and-pop establishment. I would go again. In fact, I... More

I'm always nervous when looking into motels, but when looking for a hotel in Santa Barbara and not wanting to spend a lot, a motel is the way to go. Agave Inn was a great place to stay when you aren't planning on staying in the room for long. My biggest concern is that I won't want to sleep in... More

I was looking for a low key place, affordable, clean, and where I would feel safe as I was traveling alone(a single woman). Reading the reviews, and being familiar with how one must read between the lines, I decided to check out the location and accommodation prior to making a reservation. In the morning when I checked the online availability... More

On our trip through California this summer we spent one night in the Agave Inn in Santa Barbara and really enjoyed this special accomodation. Dont expect this to be a five star luxury motel but look forward to a lovely renovated typical motel which is clean and colourful. The motel is situated right at the main street in Santa Barbara...

After lots of consideration about where to stay in Santa Barbara we decided Agave Inn was by far the best value place we could find in the area for a night or two and we were very happy with our stay. From the outside it looks like an like a standard motel but inside the decor was modern, the hotel... More

We stayed here 10-13-2011 through 10-16-2011 in a room on the first floor. It's clean, modern although quite small. There was a small fridge and microwave, no tub just a shower in the bathroom (which also had a lot of ants crawling around on the walls!) and a little table and chair area next to the bed. The bed was... More
