I can wholeheartedly endorse all the other good reviews re location, comfort, cleanliness etc. Also lovely grounds, very well maintained with very attractive plants and flowers. We were on a trip from England to visit our son who is studying at UCSB and booked this Motel on the basis of reviews on here. We hired a car so were glad... More

This Motel is just wonderful. The room was clean; the kitchenette is nice and the bathroom very modern. It's a great place to go to especially if you have dogs. It cost only $15/per day for dogs. The breakfast is included. The location is great. The neighborhood is quite. 3 min drive from State street and 10 min drive from... More

With prime location just down from the beach and pier, free bike hire, great free continental breakfast, excellent service and spacious clean and very comfortable rooms I can't recommend this motel enough. We loved our stay in Santa Barbara and this motel was a big factor in that.

This was our 2nd stay at Marina Beach Motel. It's a 50's style motel that has been beautifully renovated in the past couple years. Perfect location near West Beach between Stearns Wharf & Harbor. Room 29 has a King bed & big bathroom with clawfoot tub & separate shower. Tile throughout on floors and walls. Friendly front office staff and... More

This place is close to the beach. You can easily walk to the downtown or take the bikes. They offer a free continental breakfast, free parking and free bikes. The breakfast was with scones, bagels, cake, toast, croissants, jam, coffee, tea, juice. More than in other motels. The rooms are big enough and clean. Also it is very quiet at... More

This is my place in Santa Barbara. Close to the pier. Dog friendly. Great rooms. It's just what it should be. Not Santa Barbara "bougie"...a sweet spot. Going to send my parent for their anniversary. For a motel so close to the beach and in the heart of it all the price and quality can not be beat.

Nice suite, great staff...very relaxing. Not five stars because the Wi-fi went off almost the entire first day and they were like "it will come back tomorrow..don't worry, just enjoy". But nice breakfast with bagels, scones, cakes, croissants, fresh orange juice, great coffee...friendly lady at front desk . Recommended. My suite had a nice patio too. We took out two... More

I wish every motel was like the Marina Beach Motel! An affordable price for a wonderful room with one of the best showers I've experienced in long while. I guess they have been remodeling and updating rooms - it was a real treat. We loved the close walk to the water, the bikes for loan and the breakfast was hearty... More

Adorable motel in perfect location for car-less Santa Barbara. Tastefully done inside and out with attention to old California charm. Convenient kitchenette in my room. Walls a little thin but overall didn't impact my stay. Would go back in a heartbeat.
