Liked the social setting promoted by the lobby and adjoining dining area. Might sound insignificant, but I enjoyed the ample parking... Breakfast was good and plenty, but I think a waffle maker would be the icing on the cake.

Nice property that is right across from the beach. Breakfast selection was really good. Price was high, but so were other properties in the neighborhood. The fact that it was Labor Day weekend probably contributed to this excessive for a motel price.

Beachside inn provides far more spacious amd luxurious rooms than one would expect from the photos. It's beach adjacent and also within walking distance of many major Santa Barbara attractions.
