Love this little motel. Room had a kichenette with everything even a 2 burner stove and a sink. Great place to spend couple of days in beautiful Santa Barbara. The room was updated in a contemporary way, but feels like a cottage. The area with the flowers great. Love it. Service very good. It just one block to the harbor... More

Only stayed one night but would go back in a second. Its got a cottagey, old world feel to it but its modern, very clean and wonderful staff. The bed was very comfortable. Parking is included, the free loan bikes are wonderful to cruise the area. A short walk to the downtown area (state street). Breakfast is basic continental. Very... More

Yes this is an older property, but if clean, nice, and modern mean anything to you this is a nice place at less then half the price of most places in this town. Very nice staff. More

We happened upon the Marina Beach a year ago. This year, we couldn't wait to stay there again. We weren't disappointed! It is cute, clean, funtional, friendly. The location is perfect... half a block from the beach. They have a great breakfast and loaner bicycles. We highly recommend the Marina Beach. More

We love this little motel! They offer a nice little breakfast in the morning and bikes to explore the town with. We are never able to stay in Santa Barbara for more than a night due to our busy work schedules but they were able to let us work though the two day weekend min night stay since they had... More

This was our second time at this friendly motor inn style hotel. The rooms are in a semi-circle, your car right in front of you. The fee for pets is $15.00 per night, but they had a special deal on their website that if you asked, you got $20.00 off the going rate! Last visit we stayed in the larger... More

Using the AAA book, we drove to this motel because it took dogs. The setting is pretty enough but it is really just a painted up creaky old motel from the 40's. Coats of paint don't make the place sound proof and even reasonable neighbours making normal sounds kept us awake. For $179 before taxes, the price was staggering for... More

This motel was absolutely charming and just 1/2 block from the beach. It is a motor court so you can drive your car right to your door. The rooms are spacious and sparkling clean. We had a misunderstanding of what we were renting when we first arrived, but the front desk folks cleared it up immediately and were very gracious.... More

We just got home after a one night's stay at the Marina Beach Motel. It is an older motel property, like so many other in Santa Barbara, but you can tell that the owner is spending a fair amount of money on upkeep....both in and outside. Room: we were in #5, which we understand is one of their larger units... More
