Extended Stay offers weekly and monthly rates, often at very substantial discounts from their daily rate. However, we suggest that visitors avoid using the "Advance Purchase Discount Program". When visitors book using this program they must pay for the entire period booked and the payment is NOT refundable if the visit is changed or cancelled. We recommend that visitors use the discounted rates for "UC Santa Barbara Kavli Institute" by directly calling the hotel. The rate is not as low as the Advance Purchase option, but they can cancel or modify their reservation without being charged.
