The staff was so kind and eager to assist. The rooms have been updated and are super cute. It’s the absolute best location. My only suggestion if you’re considering staying is I would not stay here if you are sensitive to noise. You can absolutely hear the neighbors through the walls and the train when it passes by.

I had a great stay at the Marina Beach Motel. My kids and I only stayed one night but I would definitely come back again. The rooms are clean and recently updated. All the staff were extremely friendly. We took advantage of the free bike cruisers they offered and rode down the beach path and through the town (State Street, etc). The location was excellent! I highly recommend this motel if you are visiting SB.

The room was perfect for our 2 day stay. The bathroom was gorgeous and spa like. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The afternoon fresh baked warm cookies were a beautiful touch. We love to come to Santa Barbara at least 4 -6 times a year for short getaways. The Marina Beach Motel will now be our Santa Barbara destination Motel. Thank you for your wonderful Hospitality The Greenwoods

The staff was very welcoming, the room was clean and ready. The room was a bit small for 2 people and 2 queen beds, but we didn't spend much time there. The small fridge, microwave & Keruig was much appreciated and used. The ease of renting (free) bikes to ride along the beach was one of my favorite activities. Steps to Sterns Wharf, restaurants and the Art walk on Sunday allowed us to pack in a few last minute activities. Highly recommended.
