Top Santa Barbara Hotel Reviews

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

8/10 Good
"A few blocks from the marina. Large rooms with extra small room to get ready or use as an office. Nice happy hour - chilled white and chilled red wine with cheese, crackers, and cookies. Nice continental breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Quiet property. Parking is a bit tight with small spaces and poles you have to watch out for. The coffee could be stronger."
