Found this on Hotels.com and price was matched as soon as shown. Rooms were clean & fresh and although this is a large place, our rooms were quiet as they were at the back. Really, really comfortable King beds! Used clean guest laundry. Bit far out of main district. Breakfast included was a highlight. Gorgeous little 50s diner replica with booths, red & chrome & lovely lady keeping it stocked. All the usual bagels, muffins, yoghurt, cereal, bread, tea & coffee. Boiled eggs were a nice change. The only issue was the inability to pay with travel prepaid credit card. They just would not accept it despite every other place in last 3 weeks having done so. Rate low enough to pay cash easily but still strange

The rate should be $59! Our rate was $95. For $15-$20 more, we could have had a more superior room elsewhere. I will not let my kids take a bath in the tub. Dirty, old, loud, and I still can't believe the price.

I always like to be honest and look for at least one draw back to every place I stay. It maybe small, but no one is perfect. I may have met my match with this one. A recent trip to Cali, and I needed a place to stay for the night. I was not even supposed to be in Santa Barbara, but I was. Using a website, I searched for something near by and reasonably priced, and found The Sandman Inn. I am skeptical about the information that the hotel enters, and it is hard to read review on my cell phone, on the fly. So I decided based on price/location. Was I surprised. The place was spotless, the staff courteous (at 3 am in the morning), the bed was so comfortable that i over slept the next morning. The downside I found? te smoking area was 50 feet away from the door. Not really my problem, but the person I was with lol

Found this place in one of teh coupon books we picked up along the way. As everybody we first tryed some of the ocean front places in Santa Barbara but as expected they had crappy old rooms for way to much a night. So we drove straight here expecting to find something basic but good price quality. We where very surprised that we got a great room next to the pool which they even let me use even do it was already time to put in the cleaning liquid.
The next morning after sleeping very good on the beds we had a great breakfast inthere vintage breakfast room. Jukebox neon sign and the whole lot was there. All and all great stay!!
