This motel has a charming vibe and a great location just half a block from the beach. The staff is helpful, and it’s a nice touch to have free bike rentals. Though my room was a bit small and lacked a microwave, the overall cleanliness made for a pleasant stay.

A Coastal Gem Perfect for a Romantic Getaway
We enjoyed a lovely two-night stay in a beautifully renovated room. The warm hospitality made us feel at home. Don't miss the continental breakfast with fresh bagels and delicious coffee. Pro tip, Arrive early to secure convenient parking, especially if you have a larger vehicle.

Just half a block from the marina, and my room was freshly updated—super comfy! Plus, the complimentary bikes gave me the Californian air I needed, and that little kitchenette came in handy!
But I can’t believe we didn’t stay longer! The lounge swing called my name, and I had to ignore it!

The location is perfect, just a block from the beach. Clean room with nice design. The parking spaces are tight and can feel crowded. Free bikes for exploring nearby areas are a big plus.

During my recent stay, I felt welcomed by friendly staff. The surroundings were kept well, and the location made exploring easy. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast with fresh fruit and pastries, which created a nice atmosphere for mingling with other guests. As someone who enjoys road trips with my partner, I appreciated having bikes available for a ride along the coast.
Parking spaces were quite tight and sometimes it felt crowded in the common areas.

Just a fine choice for a brief stopover in Santa Barbara with outstanding value. Kevin at the front desk was really helpful with complimentary beach cruisers. Make sure to follow the staff's food suggestions for great local bites.

The location is amazing, just a few blocks from the
beach and local restaurants. The room was comfortable and well-kept, though we experienced some noise from neighbors at night. The complimentary bike rental was a nice surprise that added to our experience.

I had a fantastic stay at Marina Beach Motel. The location's perfect, just a block from the beach, making it easy to enjoy the ocean. The queen room was charming and super comfy. I loved the little touches, like the reading light and mini fridge. Breakfast exceeded my expectations with plenty of options, including delightful burritos and sandwiches. The staff welcomed me warmly, creating a friendly vibe. However, parking felt a bit tight at times. I noticed some noise from nearby rooms, which was a little distracting at night. Overall, a great spot for a beach getaway.

The King Room with Kitchenette was pretty modern—clean and comfy. Loved the big shower! The kitchenette was super convenient for snacks. We had a nice reading light and the bed was comfy enough. The room had a chill vibe, but I could hear neighbors a bit, which was kinda annoying. Overall, a solid spot for the price.

pleasant stay with minor issues
The room updates were very well done, providing both style and function. The bathroom shower impressed me significantly with its design and accessibility.
The decor felt a bit cramped despite the updates.

Great location with friendly service
I stayed in a Standard King Room for 2 nights and loved the prime location just a short walk from the beach and downtown. The room was clean, and having complimentary bikes was a fantastic way to explore the area. The staff were friendly and always had fresh cookies at the reception, which added a nice touch. One downside was the noise from the neighbors, as the walls seemed a bit thin.
