Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff and clean room with good overall location walkable to main Santa Barbara tourist locations, however directly next to a gas station. The room and property are dated but generally well maintained. Between the decent complimentary breakfast and the pool/jacuzzi area, the stay felt worth the $. Plentiful, complimentary parking is also a plus."
