Marina Beach Motel

Exactly what I expected upon booking. Easy, practical, cute, clean, close to the water and restaurants. Perfect for a quick stop from San Francisco to San Diego.

From the moment we pulled into the parking lot I knew I was going to love my stay. Great staff! Great room. Great amenities! Beautiful grounds.I enjoy a cup of decaf coffee in the evening and there was plenty of cream and sugar for my evening cup and my morning wake up cup.

Very nice small motel with a great room and perfect service. Definitely recommendable and will definitely go there again

Just a great place, kind staff, nicely planned rooms and immaculate…

Can’t beat this renovated, extremely clean and quaint motel 1 block from the Marina. Oh, and did I mention that it’s dog-friendly? The staff is also incredible. I almost don’t want to review it so I can have it to myself.

Pristine old timey sweet Route 66-like motel. We found it through Bring Fido app. My husband, pup, and I stayed three nights and loved it. Location was perfect. Staff kind and efficient. Comp breakfast delicious with many options such as local bakery items, yogurt, fresh fruit, burritos and egg sandwiches, hardboiled eggs, coffees, orange juice, cereal. We had king with kitchenette and fit our needs. This phrase says it all...we'll be back!

Everything about it was perfect. Very clean. Felt spotless honestly. Rare to say. Great customer service. Great location. Room was small but we had everything we needed.

Great value for money

I have to say I had some reservations about this place with the word “motel” in the name. The service, amenities, staff, room and location blew me away. The breakfast was phenomenal with so many choices, the room was very clean and the double shower head was a must after a long day of travel. I stay in hotels around the state multiple times a month for work. Marina Beach Motel has set a new standard for me for when I travel and I hope to find places as nice as here throughout the state!Edit: I forgot to mention that the main strip of Santa Barbara is only 2 blocks away and the beach is a 60 second walk from the motel! They even provide beach towels and bikes at the front desk free of charge.

We truly enjoy the Marina Brach Motel.We visit Santa Barbara a few times a year and always come back.One day, we will end up staying in every room.

Marina Beach Motel is the only place we will stay when visiting Santa Barbara. Each day starts with the choice of breakfast items they provide. Then we put on our walking shoes and head out for the day. Everyone is so friendly.

We love Marina Beach Motel, It is perfectly located in the heart of Santa Barbara.

We stay here every year. THE BEST STAFF. Beautiful updated rooms. Half a block from the beach!!!

The rooms looked new and renovated. The TV had all major streaming apps and customers can login with their account to watch. The problem is many forget to log out. I found many old accounts still logged in.The hotel is right next to beach. The breakfast was pretty decent. Lots of places are walkable from the hotel. There was ample parking.

This place is perfect for a vacation! Even you can stay there for weeklong as it has nice kitchen and utensils to help you with. Frontdesk staffs were nice and very helpful. Breakfast was sufficient and coffee was good. We took the free bikes (need to sign a waiver form) and the morning bike ride was also pleasant. Overall very nice experience at this motel in SB.

Grate spot really friendly service anything I needed they were on it borrowING the bikes was cool most places would charge you the breakfast for being simple was good I really enjoyed my self and I will be back.

We stayed only one night at the Marina Beach Motel, but we were glad we chose it. The motel is super clean and new, and the staff were friendly. It's also pet friendly, which is a big plus for us. Thank you for a great stay!

Très bel endroit ,très bien situé

This place was amazing!!!! Everything was new and remodeled. Don’t let “motel” throw you off- it’s actually like a nice small hotel. Great breakfast with local items. Great location close to everything. We were able to use the free bike rentals and they even have one 4 people cruiser you could use. This was an amazing find for us and made our trip to Santa Barbara fabulous. Highly recommend!

Great place for a short stay close to all city centre and all amenities within walking distance.

Great placeFriendly staffGreat breakfastReasonably priced

Fantastic motel in San Barbara. Do yourself a favor and stay here. The breakfast is good with delicious options.

El personal muy amable y atento. Desayuno excelente y abundante. Tienen bicicletas gratuitas y en excelente estado para recorrer Santa Bárbara. Las habitaciones impecables!

Absolutely delightful place immediately next to the beach. Recently refurbished with everything done just right. The people who work here are exceptionally friendly and make you feel welcome from start to finish.

The room was very clean, better than a lot of hotels! The staff was very friendly. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. And the free bikes was the cherry on top! Had a great stay!

This place is amazing! Throwback to a simpler time of traveling. Freshly remodeled, everything is new! Free bikes, beach towels and breakfast! Close to beach and pier. Will definitely be back next time in Santa Barbara

Idealer Ort um ein paar Tage in Santa Barbara zu verbringen. Nur wenige Schritte vom Strand und Hafen entfernt. Das Motel ist großzügig und zweckmäßig ausgestattet, die Dusche hat prima funktioniert. Kostenloses Frühstück und Fahrradverleih. Wir haben bei der Ankunft ein Upgrade auf ein Zimmer mit Küche erhalten. Innenhof mit Parkplatz schön gestaltet, mit Grünfläche und kostenlosen Liegen.

This place is very clean. Friendly staff. Good location. Would recommend this place to friends and family.

Geweldig verblijf op een toplocatie. Schone kamers, uitzonderlijk fijne douche, vriendelijk personeel en binnen 2 min lopen aan het strand! Het ontbijt is lekker met verschillende keuzes. Het motel ligt in een veilige wijk. Verder mochten we gratis gebruik maken van de fietsen die ze bij het motel aanbieden om Santa Barbara te verkennen. Aanrader!

We had a great stay. Will definitely come back!

Great place to stayFriendly staff super cleanReasonable rates

Best price. Great sleep. They say first come first serve parking. I had parking at my door both nights. 10 minutes walk from the end of the pier. Book it.

Super friendly welcome, brilliant location (peaceful yet central) and clean rooms. Really enjoyed our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

What a great location. Near a park and lots of little residential streets to walk dogs. The rooms are very clean and good-sized. We had patio room and kitchenette, perfect when traveling with dogs. Highly recommend, look forward to going back.

This place is great! We've stayed in Santa Barbara a few times before, but this time we had my daughter and her family with us and my son, seven total. So the ability to get three rooms of different sizes was important to us. This is an old motel that was beautifully and thoughtfully renovated about a year ago. Everything has been done extremely well. The rooms are just as pictured on their website. Great bathrooms. Clean, clean, clean. Good sound proofing. The breakfasts were better than expected, with plenty of choices. The location is great, on a safe, quiet street, a half a block from the beach and an easy walk to State Street. And the staff was wonderful, very friendly, accommodating and helpful. The free parking is a nice plus too. Highly recommended.
