Agave Inn

Santa Barbara


While it’s still just a motel at heart, this property’s ‘Mexican pop meets modern’ motif livens things up with a color palette from a Frida Kahlo painting. Flat-screen TVs, microwaves, mini-fridges and air-conditioning add a welcome level of comfort. Family-sized rooms have a kitchenette and pullout sofa beds. Light breakfast included.

It's a little north of town so a car is a necessity, or good walking shoes.
