My wife, daughter and I stayed there 4 nights. As has been mentioned in previous reviews, it is just off the highway and only a few blocks from the water. Our suite was spacious with a br/lr, small kitchen. They have a nice little fitness room that no one ever uses (except me). They always have food or juice or... more

This inn is a couple of blocks from the waterfront and is relatively quiet despite being about one block from the freeway (US101). The inn was formerly the Flamingo and has obviously been renovated fairly recently. Despite the renovations, it still looks like a motel built in the 60's. Nevertheless, there were numerous amenities that were excellent and somewhat unusual.... more

For our first time in a Hotel in Santa Barbara, we chose the Brisas Del Mar because it was advertised as quiet and a short walk to the beach. It was just as promised! In addition to meeting those expectations, we also found the staff to be friendly, the little extras like botteled water in the room and Q-tips and... more

The rooms were spacious, yet very dated. The room had an old musty smell. I requested a quiet room and was given a room at the end of the hotel. The hotel is surrounded by apartments, it was noisy and the rooms are dark. The front desk people were focused on the computer and ignored the guests. I would not... more

This place was just what my wife and I were looking for. A small hotel in a charming residential area. The location was about three blocks from the nortn end of the beach. The main shopping district is within walking distance if you are walkers, about 15 blocks. The location is very quiet, we had no trouble at all with... more

We arrived at this beautiful hotel after a week touring California and Nevada and stayed 2 nights but wished we could have stayed much longer. The service was excellent and rooms lovely and clean and very homely. It was also refreshing to stay somewhere that was so personal, had character and was not too big so you felt lost (ie... more

We just returned from a week in Southern CA, which included a night at the Brisas del Mar Inn by the Beach in Santa Barbara. We were very disappointed in the quality of the hotel, considering how expensive it was (about $175.00 on a weeknight for a king suite). The entrance to the hotel is lovely, as is the lobby.... more

After reading some negative reviews on tripadvisor, my husband and I were hesitant to stay here, but we were very pleasantly surprised. The rooms are clean, large, nicely decorated, with an ample supply of high-quality toiletries. The staff is friendly and knowledgable about the area. Breakfast, wine & cheese, and freshly baked cookies are welcome added touches. I can't imagine... more

When I started reseaching hotels for our holiday vacation, I looked for price budget first. When I saw the pictures and write ups for many hotels, the Brisas del Mar stood out as one of the better ones in SB. It's amazing what some people write about...black hairs on pillowcases, dirt on floors...etc. I am so grateful for these honest... more
