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.

From the get go, the gentleman who checked us in was super friendly and professional. Our room was EXCELLENT! Very clean and spacious for a party of six, plus a 60 lbs. dog. Breakfast was good! No hot breakfast, more on pastries. They also allow you to use their bikes at no extra cost. I highly recommend this place!

We were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the room was. The rainfall showerhead was wonderful, as well as the jetted, stand-alone tub. Bed was super cozy. One thing that could’ve used a little tlc was the back of the tub. I noticed that it may have been neglected by housekeeping, but everything else was immaculate. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. I’d definitely come here again & also recommend this place to everyone I know. Thank you for the memorable experience!

We enjoyed this renovated motel. The room was lovely, really well-equipped and a great shower. The buffet breakfast was good and the staff friendly. The only downside was the very loud HVAC in the room, which disturbed our sleep. It seemed to come on about once every five minutes for about 30 seconds and it really was loud.
