Best place to stay near the pier.
Stayed here as a waypoint going to San Diego. Clean, freshly renovated and within walking distance of the pier and restaurants. The breakfast selections were better than most places like this. It was the only motel that had no vacancies they day we stayed, which speaks for itself.

Truly lovely gem right by the beach
We had an incredible stay here and really appreciated the care and attention to detail, from cleanliness, room decor, to the courtyard garden and breakfast offerings. There was not a thing I would change about this motel. We made use of the free bike rentals and also loved being within walking distance of the wharf. I hope to always be able to stay here next time we come back to Santa Barbara.

Great bed
The bed was comfortable- this is always the most important part of a stay for me. Our only regret was not booking another night soon enough. We stayed next door at the franciscan for our last night and it was way less comfy

A Santa Barbara Gem!
From the time Cooper checked us in until check out everyone was hospitable and friendly. The continental breakfast was great. We would definitely stay again.
Pat, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Pleasantly surprised
Overall, a really nice stay! The service was great and the quality of the amenities very good, e.g. continental breakfast much better than most places I’ve been to in the last few years.Very comfortable except for the pillows, which were too big and a bit hard and lumpy. In addition, it was easy to hear noises from adjoining rooms. But I haven’t stayed in a motel for many years, so may have had unrealistic expectations :-).

We LOVED our stay at Marina Beach - walking distance to the waterfront, beautiful updated rooms, extremely comfy beds, and lovely service. Not to mention the dog friendliness was amazing! Absolutely will be coming back here to stay another time!
