Marina Beach Motel

This motel was exceptional, we didn’t know what to expect, having travelled down the west coast we had stayed in some mediocre hotels, but wow, this is a real gem. Breakfast was more than we needed, staff lovely and friendly, top notch on decor and cleanliness. Loved the central garden space. We got to know many other guests sitting around the table in the garden area, the layout is conducive to meeting new friends without it being noisy or intrusive. We have been traveling the west coast and this was by far the best stop on our trip. Great motel, great location, reasonably priced and exceeded our expectations, Thank you.

This motel is very clean indoors and outdoors. The staff is friendly and helpful. Santa Barbara is a great destination. This motel is for people that plan to see the area, State Street, the pier, the marina, the historical buildings and want a comfortable and clean room to rest and sleep. The rooms come with a microwave, keurig, ac/heating, ceiling fan. The bathroom is a comfortable size. I liked the seating areas in the room. They have made good use of the space. I would definitely return when visiting Santa Barbara. In addition they are pet friendly, have a nice breakfast area and out door seating. (Parking is included but not assigned) Hope you enjoy your stay!

Location and convenience and great rate that you typically cannot find at this location. We also enjoyed the remodeled amenities of the Superior King room with the large soaking tub and remodeled bathroom. Free Wi-Fi was a bonus plus the Smart TVs that allowed us to watch other than regular programming such as Prime Video and Netflix.

The hotel was conveniently located by the beach - it had a nice outside little garden with parking all around. Staff was friendly and nice. Helpful. Breakfast was ok - lots of carbs. The room was a good size and had a might kitchenette with gas stove and fridge and all kitchen utensils. Small bathroom with shower curtain. Nice soaps and shampoo. Water fountain available until 11 pm, which is nice.

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.
