We stayed here for one night on our way up Highway 1. The motel is a bit far from downtown and the wharf (we drove) but close to a lot of restaurants. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean, and bed was comfortable. Bathroom and shower were in good order. Breakfast was ok- a variety of pastries... More

Good deal for an expensive area. Rooms have been updated and the bed was comfortable. Quite far away from the downtown area of Santa Barbara but in the centre of the community Goleta so lots of restaurants nearby. Staff very pleasant but breakfast is sparse compared to some other hotels. More

The motel is middle aged, with furniture from the 1980's. The room decor was average, but the amenities for a budget motel were above average. The room had a comfortable bed and newly remodeled bathroom. The fresh coat of paint was salmon color. We stayed on a Monday night and the place was quiet. There was a strong smell of... More

My wife and I only stayed here one night but I think only one night is enough, it is not a 4 or 5 star hotel. It's good for a fast pass through, spend 1 or 2 nights hotel but that would be it, the hotel is nice but it lacks parking, by the time we came back to our... More

In October, 2011 I booked 1 night at this hotel. They provides good/basic accomodations, but carpet didn't look especially clean. Some amenities in the room: fridge, iron, hairdryer, Pay-per-view movies and games,... The breakfast consisted of 2 different kinds of cereal, bagel, juice, tea/coffee, and prepackaged danishes and muffins. Is a great deal for your money in Santa Barbara. For... More

These are not suites by any means. The 2nd room is small and may only be accessed through the main room. The main room is a bed, table & chairs, large tv and leads to a jack & jill type sink area, but the bathroom is off that. The small room must access the main room to use the restroom,... More

Everything was brilliant about the lodge apart from being bitten during the night and finding dead bed bugs in the bed when we woke! Place was very clean, lots of amenities in the room, fridge, iron, hairdryer, nice and modern also, only thing bad was the bed bugs, we told reception as soon as we realised and they allowed u's...

It was a perfect Location for a Trip to Santa Barbara. Nice rooms and swimmingpool. The fitnessroom was very old. Wifi was very slow. But I would really recommend this hotel. More

We needed a place to stay for one night and sought an affordable alternative. So many hotels in the Santa Barbara area are overpriced, and we were just looking for a hotel that was clean and comfortable. Sandpiper Lodge fit our requirements nicely. We also found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. We'll be visiting our daughter in... More
