Marina Beach Motel

Perfect location close to the water, downtown, etc. The room and bed was incredibly comfortable and modern, staff friendly, and the breakfast was excellent! Will definitely stay here again!!!!

I recently stayed at the Marina Beach Motel and absolutely loved it. The location is very convenient being walking distance from the beach and state street. What was even better than that was the service. The housekeeper Vanessa stayed on top of our towels and toiletries and cleaned our room extremely fast and efficiently. The front desk workers were extremely helpful and diligent. Especially Cooper and Tituan. Next time we are visiting Santa Barbara we will definitely be staying there!

We are here now for three nights staying in room 11. We can highly recommend this hotel. We are traveling with our 14 year old dog and they are very pet friendly. Just a block from the beach and walking trails as well as restaurants & shops. Location could not be better. We are in a king room with kitchenette. While the rooms are normal size, they have done a wonderful job of squeezing in all the amenities. Very comfortable beds. Everything is extremely clean. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent continental breakfast in the morning with fresh breads and pastries from a local bakery, as well as fresh fruit, cereals, breakfast sandwiches, etc. They also provide free bicycles. We looked at other hotels in this area and are very happy with our choice.

Amazing location so close to the beach and restaurants! The front desk employees were super nice! Loved the room. Looked newly remodeled and very clean.

This place is fabulous! Lovely clean modern accommodation. Great breastfast and kids loved the afternoon cookies! Extra perks such as free bike hire. Best of all were the staff here. Such lovely friendly ladies! Location amazing, close to the beach

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was super nice and very clean

Great place to stay when in Santa Barbara. So many restaurants and activities within walking distance. We used the bikes every day and enjoyed the bike path along the ocean. Our room was clean and
modern with smart TVs, rain shower head and so much more. Breakfast was always well stocked and more than adequate especially considering our room had a kitchen. Staff was so friendly always smiling and had great ideas of things to do. We can’t wait to go back!

I’ve never been to a more perfect motel…. Or even hotel for that matter. Top to bottom, wow. Thanks for the great service, the constant smiles by all employees, the location, the family bicycle for the beach… which our toddler loved (and us too)…. We, will, be, back! 5 stars all the way!!!

Great location. Employees are super and attentive. Clean rooms. Breakfast was well stocked with pastries. Hot water in lobby was nice. Free surrey was a blast to ride. Cornhole in the lawn was fun.

Amazing place and awesome staff.

A jewel in a perfect location. Friendly staff comfortable beds. Great coffee in the morning.

Had a great one night stay in Santa Barbara here, would recommend.
Rooms are clean and renovated (modern). The staff are very kind and helpful. There's plenty of parking in the lot. It's pet friendly and they have bikes available to rent (we didn't get to try the bikes but glad they are offered!)
~5 min walk to the beach and Stearns Wharf.
~15-20 min walk to the restaurants/shopping areas of State Street.
The breakfast was good too, they had pastries from a local bakery as well as other options.

Only caveat was that parking was first come, first serve. However there was ample street parking so it was never a problem

Perfect hotel for a stay in Santa Barbara. The staff was very friendly, location is great, rooms are impeccably clean and well equipped. Even the breakfast pastries were fresh. So much nicer than you would expect from a “motel”. Recommend

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.

いい場所でした

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.
