The room was very quiet which we love. The breakfast could be a little better...burrito and sandwich were terrible. Maybe a little upgrade especially because no pool/spa. The common area was very nice.

We enjoyed our two-night stay at Marina Beach. The motel has been nicely renovated and updated. The room was very clean and comfortable. Every employee we encountered was friendly and helpful. The free bike rental was a terrific bonus since the motel is just about a block from the beach. Easy to get to by car and a great location from which to enjoy all that Santa Barbara has to offer. Easy walk to the funk zone, Stearns Wharf, and other tourist destinations. Parking may be a bit tight for larger vehicles.

A gem of a little motel. My expectations for the very reasonable room rate were fairly low. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the room, new finishes throughout. The breakfast also included items not generally offered except at higher end hotels. I will definitely choose the Marina Beach Motel next time I'm in Santa Barbara.

Stayed here for a single night as part of a stopover while driving Highway 1 from San Francisco to LA and so happy we chose to stay here. During the quick check in process we were given a map and ideas of places to visit, drink and eat during our short stay in stunning Santa Barbara from the check in staff. Great breakfast included the following morning too and the hotel staff had no issue with us leaving the car so we could explore for a few hours after the official check out time. I would strongly advise that anyone considering staying here books this as for the cost I doubt you will find somewhere better than this in Santa Barbara.

The property was cute, clean, very home like! The staff was so friendly and helpful. We also got to bring our dog (for a small fee) which we loved! They had a very nice complementary breakfast with coffee, and we were about an 8 min walk from state street. Would most definitely stay again.

Very impressed with this property — it’s like a boutique hotel with their renovated rooms. Easy parking in front/ near your room door which was super convenient. Well-kept courtyard with grass and seating, along with patio tables and a porch swing which made for a cozy evening with tea. Breakfast was more varied than expected and much appreciated. Very easy walk to the harbor, State St, the Funk Zone and the beach and pier. Staff was all top notch and so helpful. Will definitely stay here again.

Everything was fantastic! The only thing we could criticize would be the shower and the water temperature. It did not adjust very well, ie: stayed super hot for a long time or cold for a long time after adjusting but eventually we got it to work and stay at the right temp. Love everything else and all of the breakfast options were great. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything was nice until I accidentally left my AirPods on the bed before leaving and when I called the property to tell them I left them they said they didn’t find anything but they were left right on the bed lol. So they either didn’t clean the bed or the person who cleaned the room stole them. My fault for leaving them but come on man.

I really din’t like that there was no assigned parking space for each room. We barely got the parking space and even couldn’t use our car for going out for dinner: we were afraid of loosing the space. It was no shower gel in the bathroom. The freezer was barely working. air conditioner was extremely loud. The breakfast was just ok. All together I would not be staying in this place next time for this price.

We had a great stay at Marina Beach Motel. Parking was included and fantastically convenient. We parked our car right in front of the room. We took out free bikes one day which was very fun. The neighborhood is super cute and you are just one block from the ocean. The room was very tidy and had a little kitchen. It just could have been cleaned better. There was a bit of stickiness on the floor, but nothing to deter you from staying. Free breakfast is nice but very basic. Overall a great time and very reasonable with convenient free parking, breakfast and lovely location.
