Staff was friendly. The hotel itself was clearly older but very clean and maintained. The benefits was that it was a unique set up, large rooms, and charm. However, the drawbacks were that the pool was very small, the gym was little more than a closet, plumbing was questionable (smelly water), and the noise from other rooms and guests was a thing. Cute, but pricey.

Cozy hotel with spacious well-decorated rooms, nice pool, outdoor areas, and breakfast. 10min walk to the beach. We (2people) stayed for 3 nights and didn’t get any housekeeping (and nobody mentioned that they are going to skip it for the entire stay) - ran through 2 provided portions of K-cups coffee on the first morning, didn’t get anything else, and as got back to our rooms late, didn’t have time to ask. This is a good hotel, but for the amount of money they charge they should either provide “no housekeeping discount” or do the bare minimum and replenish the supplies.

Nice cozy hotel. We stayed in the standard suite, king bed. The room was spacious and really liked how clean it was. The only problem for me was the mattress was not comfortable. One side of the mattress was sinking in, kinda worn out. It’s time to switch that mattress to a new one! Friendly staff, free self parking and only 3 minutes from the beach. Overall great hotel, I would definitely stay here again.

This is a lovely property with excellent staff. They made us feel welcomed from the start, including an update of our reservation to a sweet penthouse. They have bicycles at the property that you can take anywhere. The inn is close to the beach and a short bike ride from State street, the Funk Zone, a nature reserve, and the many beaches of beautiful Santa Barbara.

Beautiful, well maintained and clean property

We really enjoyed our stay! This is an exceptionally well maintained property, and it's clearly well managed. The King suite we stayed in was comfortable. Love that there are windows that can be opened for fresh air. Cute and clean pool, lovely seating areas, super convenient location. The only small complaints were no recycling bins anywhere!! So we ended up taking our recycling home with us. Also there could be more hooks or rods to hang up wet bathing suits and towels in the bathroom. That would be so easy- just put them on the back if the bathroom door and / or on the wall in the bathroom. We would totally return.

Went to SB for our daughters UCSB orientation. First, Esteban at the front desk was awesome. Helpful, informative, had suggestions for everything, and was incredibly friendly. We received a room upgrade to the penthouse which was HUGE! It was only one night but we could have stayed here for a week - even in a “regular” room. We brought our own e-bikes, but they had enough bikes for all the people that were staying there and we saw lots of guests using them. The happy hour with wine and cheese was nice, the breakfast was better than expected, and the building was quiet. It is walking or bike riding distance to the pier and the funk-zone. Breweries, wine tasting, fantastic food. One full day and we went to Brass Bear Brewing for a beer and shared a sandwich, then Three Windows for another beer, back to Brisas del Mar for a nap and happy hour, then SB FisHouse for their happy hour food for dinner - we recommend it! A great night sleep, breakfast at Brisas del Mar, bikes for a few hours then Brophy Bros for lunch. All incredibly crazy close to Brisas Del Mar! Already planning our next trip in January. Will definitely be staying here. Loved it!
