Santa /Barbara 2 Nights
The room was very quiet which we love. The breakfast could be a little better...burrito and sandwich were terrible. Maybe a little upgrade especially because no pool/spa. The common area was very nice.

Great place to stay in Santa Barbara
We enjoyed our two-night stay at Marina Beach. The motel has been nicely renovated and updated. The room was very clean and comfortable. Every employee we encountered was friendly and helpful. The free bike rental was a terrific bonus since the motel is just about a block from the beach. Easy to get to by car and a great location from which to enjoy all that Santa Barbara has to offer. Easy walk to the funk zone, Stearns Wharf, and other tourist destinations. Parking may be a bit tight for larger vehicles.

Well priced gem of a cottage motel
A gem of a little motel. My expectations for the very reasonable room rate were fairly low. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the room, new finishes throughout. The breakfast also included items not generally offered except at higher end hotels. I will definitely choose the Marina Beach Motel next time I'm in Santa Barbara.

Good choice.
Happy with the room, jetted tub was a great feature. Bed, sheets, and pillows were just right. Slept well after a trip in the tub.
