If you leave anything you’re not getting it back
Everything was nice until I accidentally left my AirPods on the bed before leaving and when I called the property to tell them I left them they said they didn’t find anything but they were left right on the bed lol. So they either didn’t clean the bed or the person who cleaned the room stole them. My fault for leaving them but come on man.

I really din’t like that there was no assigned parking space for each room. We barely got the parking space and even couldn’t use our car for going out for dinner: we were afraid of loosing the space. It was no shower gel in the bathroom. The freezer was barely working. air conditioner was extremely loud. The breakfast was just ok. All together I would not be staying in this place next time for this price.

We had a great stay at Marina Beach Motel. Parking was included and fantastically convenient. We parked our car right in front of the room. We took out free bikes one day which was very fun. The neighborhood is super cute and you are just one block from the ocean. The room was very tidy and had a little kitchen. It just could have been cleaned better. There was a bit of stickiness on the floor, but nothing to deter you from staying. Free breakfast is nice but very basic. Overall a great time and very reasonable with convenient free parking, breakfast and lovely location.

This motel is excellent! When I think of dog motel, I think of the worst. This motel was so nice and quaint. The parking was easy and free! Unheard of in Santa Barbara. The lobby and entry/porch to the front desk was clean, accessible and friendly. The room itself was perfect for my party of 4 plus doggy. The bathroom was clean and big. My doggy only cost an extra $20 or so. That is unheard of as well in Santa Barbara. They have bikes to borrow at no cost. They have a breakfast in the morning for early risers. I will definitely stay here again with or without my doggy.

Nice and Quaint
This motel was just what we needed. We were one block from the lagoon, the weather was great, and the room, though small was just enough. This establishment served a nice continental with great local coffee. I will stay again.

This was one of the best places I have stayed in Santa Barbara and I come here often. It is a recently renovated motel with modern rooms. Very clean and nicely furnished. It feels like a retro 1950's motel that is brand new. Fresh baked cookies everyday and wonderful continental breakfast each morning. Relaxing grassy quad area with tables and lounge chairs. The staff is attentive and cheery! I will be back again!
