Rose Garden Inn

Cleanliness: Repeatedly praised for clean rooms, bathrooms, and overall hygiene .

Dirty and noisy. Give it a miss-you won't sleep. Very little redeeming qualities of this motel except location. Don't get a ground level room--paper thin ceilings and walls, absolutely constant pounding noises from neighbors above at all hours. Homeless hanging around. Barely enough parking, very tight. 2 inch gap under room door and 1/2 inch between door and its frame, so cold air and noise enter. Super loud plumbing/gurgling of water sounds coming from other rooms in middle of night, vent in bathroom kicked in middle of night like a freight train to wake me out of my slumber, broken hair dryer plug dangerously exposing its inner parts, grime in bathroom corners, on all baseboards, goop on nightstand and headboards. Clearly their sad excuse for a housekeeping team is doing the most minimal of cleaning effort, even though the room smelled of disinfectant for 2 days we were there. Faint urine smell around my bed (mattress?). Called the office all day to ask a question before arriving and no one ever answered, even though when we arrived and while we stayed there someone was in office the whole time. Clearly they just don't want to answer. Room and bathroom doors DISGUSTING. Makes no sense to renovate and repaint a room but then leave grimy doors and baseboards. Had 2 bad night's sleep all in all, and not worth the $$. Go a little farther to a Goleta hotel if you are trying to save $$ rather than sleep here.

Not bad for an economy room.clean and updated. The staff members were very nice and helpful. The location was very convenient for shopping and places to eat out. The beds were comfortable and nicely made. I wish that it wouldn't have rained the whole time I was there though.
