Agave Inn is a basic motel that offers passable accommodations for a one night stay if you're passing through Santa Barbara but it may be expensive for what you get. While some guests found the price to be a bit high for a motor inn, others thought it was pretty expensive for basic accommodations. However, there were positives mentioned, such as a coffee machine in the room and a good overall atmosphere. The outside of the motel looks a bit old and the front desk is unmanned, but there is an intercom for assistance.
