We went to Santa Barbara for a family event and found this place - a great stay at a family style motel. Very friendly and helpful front desk. Pool and breakfast were nice. This is an excellent value in an otherwise crazy expense town. Would highly recommend.

Breakfast did not have as many options, website mentioned eggs but it only had fruits, yogurt, oatmeal and breads. Pool area was under construction. Parking was plenty. Overall a good and clean stay, room was spacious but would’ve liked to see other breakfast options.

The staff was friendly and the actual room was great and well-supplied. However I’d like some access to water! Vending machines were out and no water in the room. Also, the room we were in was close to the laundry facilities for the motel and the workers were yelling and being loud at like 8 AM right outside our room… not how we like to be woken up on our vacation

It was what we expected I guess… not much available UCSB parents weekend. Basically a motel. Clean enough; beds were squishy with odd sized pillows. It was quiet and the staff were friendly.

It's fine
Sandpiper is nice...priced reasonably. It is clean and fairly quiet. Continental breakfast is very limited. The only real drawback was the slow wifi and 0-1 bar reception on my phone. Maybe because I was on the ground floor under a stairway. If the price was low enough I'd stay here again.
