Marina Beach Motel, hotel in Santa Barbara

This Santa Barbara Motel, 15 minutes’ drive from the University of California Santa Barbara, offers a complimentary daily breakfast buffet and free bicycles to its guests during their stay.

Location was great, close to everything, staff was exceptionally kind and friendly, room was super clean and comfortable, breakfast was great. Overall, a really nice place to stay. I just can't get over having to spend almost $350 for 1 night in a motel room that's not even on the water!

Simpson House Inn, hotel in Santa Barbara

Built in 1874, this Victorian bed and breakfast is surrounded by lush landscaped grounds and 3 blocks of city parks. It features gourmet breakfast and evening wine tastings.

Beautiful 1874 Victorian house, that has been nicely restored. The grounds are nicely kept. House is looking like it needs some TLC in some areas the original owners sold house 3 years ago my only hope is that the new investors will take care of this historic house the way original owners did.

The Eagle Inn, hotel in Santa Barbara

Located 10 minutes’ walk from Central Santa Barbara, this hotel serves daily hot breakfast with egg dishes and organic fruit. All unique guest rooms offer free Wi-Fi. Free guest parking is available....

The entire building was stunning: beautifully maintained vintage architecture and design, with artwork and appointments that all worked together to create a gorgeous whole. Our room was set to be romantic for our anniversary (rose petals, towel swans, real roses... very sweet), a lovely space in keeping with the vintage style of the entire inn. There was a spa tub, comfortable bed, charming fireplace (which we used on the cool morning); everything was perfectly set, clean, and handy. The breakfast was delicious and expertly prepared. All the staff, from the front desk, to the breakfast room servers, to the maids, were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Loved the location -- we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go -- and the front desk fellow's recommendation for dinner (Brophy Brothers) was delightful. The cookies... scrumptious! :)
