This hotel looks nothing like the website, complete false advertising The rooms are old and smell. The hot tub did not work The first room we went to smelt like something had died. The second room had a bug in the bed and body hair on the sheets. Very unpleasant stay. more

A very good place to stay in Santa Barbara. It is a couple of miles up the road on State Street from the main shopping area. The rooms are clean and the breakfast was fine. For a couple of nights you can not beat this place. more

My wife and I stayed here for a quick two night getaway. We didn't want to spend too much money. We found this a pleasant place to stay. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Breakfast was nice but it seemed like they couldn't keep the coffee pot full which isn't good for a caffene addict such as myself. Convienent to... more

On check-in we had a few problems with our booking, as they seemed to have different dates than the ones given, however the reception staff were helpful and this was resolved after a short while. We were sent to a room at the back of the property, which wasn’t bad, a little basic, but clean, tidy and spacious. Unfortunately the... more

The Sandman is great - only stayed one ngiht, but the staff were very friendly, the room was fantastic - very clean, modern and extremely comfortable - the pools are lovely, the view of the mountains is amazing, the breakfast was great. Very close to downtown Santa BArbara. I highly recommend it - very comfortable place if exploring nearby areas. more

The lobby staff seems to be made up of many students from UCSB who have found a great place to study. The shower water would swing from blistering to freezing continuously. The electric lock would cancel itself and I had to walk to the lobby six times in five days to get new keys. more

We were in town attending a wedding . Our room was Clean and Bed was comfortable. Our air worked just fine .We were the only ones in the family who stayed here and we only slept here so I can't speak to the pool except it looked smallish as we drove by it. The morning breakfast had a large selection... more

The Sandman Inn in Santa Barbara, California is located about a mile off the highway and has easy check-in and parking. It is made up of long single story buildings housing above average size motel units. There are two swimming pools set in very nice garden locations. The morning continental breakfast is better than average, with a nice selection of... more

This hotel was a great value for Santa Barbara. The hotel was bigger than we expected- more than 100 rooms with 2 pools. The room was cozy and clean. The staff was friendly. Breakfast was good- cereal, muffins, yogurt, coffee, hard boiled eggs. It was not far from downtown, the Mission, and the ocean, and just down the street from... more
