This was my third stay at Brisas Del Mar Inn at the Beach. The location is excellent for me. It is very close to the beach and State Street. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I stayed once in a Standard King Room which was good for me and twice in a King Room with kitchenette, which was so convenient. Housekeeping is great. The rooms are clean and everything is well taken care of. Many thanks to the kind and helpful staff at the reception. They made me feel at home every time.

    Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it.

    Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it. A walk on the pier is a must. Free 90minute parking but walk instead. The Spanish-style architecture gives the city a unique charm. With the mountains as a background, the ocean spreads out to the west. This is a city to chill and stroll in. Most of restaurants are located on State Street, which was closed off to vehicles and was more like a pedestrian Mall on Sunday night. Not sure if it's closed for foot traffic every night. Do be aware of bikes-etc. on State Street though.

    I had visited Santa Barbara in the summer of 2023 and returned now in April 2024: great vibes, good restaurants, and friendly staff. No surprise, the best experience was in the summer, but I could enjoy it a lot in April as well.

    Very nice rooms, modern and comfortable furniture. We had a mini suite, so we had one bedroom and the kids in the living room in a pull-out sofa - great. Pool is nice and the breakfast is really good! Nice lobby area too, light and by the beach. Good location, just quite far from downtown and restaurants, at least 20-25 min walk. But near beach and the pier is 10 min away.

    Loved the vibe of this friendly hotel. Lots of lovely spaces to chill out around the hotel, complimentary drinks and library to add that extra touch. Decor was Californian cool and the art exhibited was really inspiring and added to the Santa Barbara experience. Staff were super helpful and welcoming.
