This hotel was a little gem. Very cleaning beautiful grounds. Central location close to shops and beach. The self service breakfast with disposable crockery. A curse of the usa sadly.

This was a very quaint and lovely motel. I was a little worried about staying at a "motel," but this turned out to be an excellent little place at which to stay. Close proximity to the beach and not too far from downtown. Have no complaints.

I loved the Marina Beach Motel because the location was near the beach/pier. It was a small motel so it was quiet and property was beautifully kept. Staff was friendly and very informative of surrounding areas. Our room was more than we expected for the price that we paid. I will for sure come back and would recommended it to other travelers. It's definitely a hidden gem.

Fabulous Why have a wonderful kitchen but no cutlery, crockery or pots and pans? We had been travelling for 7 months and would have welcomed using the kitchen.

The room we had was spacious and had a full kitchen! Great private little back patio too....Very Clean. Check in was fast and that was important after a long drive... Parking lot narrow and cumbersome to maneuver an SUV....

Charming accomodations. Simple, unpretentious style. Way clean. Affordable. Bright and cheery appearance of the entire place. Great location. This is the fourth or fifth time I've stayed here ... it's my favorite place in Santa Barbara. Rooms are a little on the small side. I've probably stayed in smaller places, but only traveling overseas.

The bathrooms were updated and nice. I liked the middle courtyard, free breaktfast and kitchenette in my room. I also liked that there were free bikes. They were a little rusted but still worked fine. I didn't have my pet with me, but if I did I would have wanted her to sit w me @ the courtyard and but pets weren't allowed.

Nice breakfast altho no eggs or pancakes/waffles which other places on our trip had provided and far too little seating for the crowd assembled. Free use of bikes was very nice. Room was fine altho I missed having a tub. Location was excellent and we enjoyed walking, biking and eating in the marina area

Location close to the beach and the pier, not far from State Street for shopping and restaurants. Nice continental breakfast. Hot water took literally 8 minutes at the faucet or shower. Construction went on next door during the day.

Very quaint, pretty, clean and comfy. Construction was going on all around our room, noisy, work equipment around, parking bad due to workmans vehicles. Felt they should have given us a better option in room location or compensation.
