Great choice if you want to be close to the pier and shops and restaurants along Cabrillo Blvd. It's dog friendly which is why we selected it and the dogs loved being close to the Beach. The room was very nice, clean and the bed was comfortable. Wish the bathroom was larger but it's a minor complaint. Will stay again for sure

The most amazingly helpful staff. Very nice and polite staff throughout! The office staff, in particular were very friendly and helpful. They answered all of our questions and gave great advice on restaurants in the area. We LOVED the breakfast, round the clock coffee AND warm cookies! Room was spotless and quiet! Thank you for making our stay such a pleasure!

10/10 Exceptional

The room was perfect for our 2 day stay. The bathroom was gorgeous and spa like. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The afternoon fresh baked warm cookies were a beautiful touch. We love to come to Santa Barbara at least 4 -6 times a year for short getaways. The Marina Beach Motel will now be our Santa Barbara destination Motel. Thank you for your wonderful Hospitality The Greenwoods
