Marina Beach Motel

The room was clean and close proximity to restaurants and pier.

We loved it all. Newly remodeled with quality in everything placed in the room. We had a very comfortable sleep. Nice to have a microwave and were impressed by the size o the freezer and refrigerator. The motel is in a great location Very close to the beach, pier and wharf. Only a few minute walk from the train station and an easy walk to State Street. The breakfast was a very nice quality and had items that I've not seen before, like burritos and breakfast sandwiches. The staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Our dog sitter flaked out on us at the last minute. We were able to bring our 2 dogs with us. This hotel has dog treats, potty bags and dog area etc. The hotel is one block from the beach with great restaurants along the beach front. On day two we spent the day walking on the beach, eating outdoors and strolling through the outdoor art fair.

The Marina Beach Motel was the cutest and cleanest motel I have ever stayed in. Prior to our arrival, the motel was in contact with us via email to confirm our booking and had accommodations for a late check in, if needed. When we checked in, they had welcome cookies at the front desk which was such a nice touch after traveling so long to get there. Parking is free and looked like one spot available per vacancy. Dogs are allowed at this location for an extra fee. Free bike rentals and towels were also included in the stay with just a few steps away from the sand! There are quite a few options within a 5-10 minute walk. I was thoroughly impressed with the layout of the bathroom and the upgraded furniture. The bathroom had a HUGE tub, two shower heads, a hair dryer, the black makeup towel in addition to your normal white towels, a disposable plastic shower cap provided, and even a nice body length mirror. My husband and I even joked that it was probably nicer than some New York studio apartments. The bed and the pillows were comfortable. Free wifi is available, there was a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker in the room. And there was free continental breakfast from 7-10:30am where you check in. 10/10 would stay here again and would recommend any family member or friend to stay here! Staff was super nice and helpful even though we only stayed one night.

This my favorite stop in Santa Barbara. I break up the drive to Orange County with a stop here. It is always clean with large fluffy white towels, coffee, pastries and banana bread for breakfast. The location is great within walking distance to great restaurants so you don’t have to get in the car again. It is good for pets. There are nice walking parks, strictly on leash, near by. Plus easy access to the freeway. I enjoyed the Black Friday special on the Monday after Thanksgiving! It was a great deal!
