Exceptional, first rate accomodations; spotless rooms with first rate bed, tv, kitchen appliances and quite efficient Toto toilet. Friendly and helpful front office and service staff. I’d rate it favorably with 4 star hotels but more relaxed with the convenience of a motel.

Staff is outstanding, informative and very friendly. Breakfast was fantastic! You had so many choices and good coffee! The only drawback for me was the fact that the walls were thin and you could hear talking, TV, moving around in the room next door, which kept my dog on high alert all night. Location is great.

The property was in a great location, near the beach and plenty of restaurants. My room, #30, was fantastic. I really enjoyed the huge jet tub, and corner view. All of the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. It was a great stay and I would definitely return.

Marina Beach Motel was a great option for staying in Santa Barbara for a reasonable price. The grounds and rooms looked great, and staff was always helpful and friendly. The breakfast had lots of sweet options, but was limited in healthy choices/quality items other than the sweets. My only complaint about the property was that it was very easy to hear neighbors in the next room, especially if they were watching TV.
