We love Sandpiper! It's our favorite hotel in Santa Barbara. Great pool and hot tub. We love the free breakfast room, it has tables, coffee and quite a few self-serve breakfast options, way beyond the basic continental breakfast offerings of most hotels.

I love the place, the fire pit, the terrace. I would.ju3s suggest to add some more tableware: wine glasses, water glasses, creamer. We didn't get to use the big heater at the living room. Wasn't working properly. But enough with the other heathers The property in incredible charming and I highly suggest it! It's too cozy, clean.

This is a very decent motel. Convenient and clean but nothing fancy. We stayed one night for a next dat meeting. So didn’t do much in the area. But overall it’s a pleasant stay. Staffs are polite which is great because for local small hotel/motel usually you can’t expect the staffs to be as attentive because they are usually busy with multiple tasks, but in this case, they are all nice!

Very nice stay

I came with my daughter because she was attending a youth event at the Reagan Ranch. It was easy to find and check in. The front desk was friendly and even gave us a free room upgrade. They also gave us a late check-out. The room was clean, and the breakfast area was above average for a budget motel.
