We had a wonderful stay at the Marina Beach Motel. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was a good size and as described, the bed was very comfortable. The continental breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of options. The location was excellent, it's very close to the beach and within walking distance of many restaurants, bars and places to see. We were only staying one night and would have happily stayed for longer, both to enjoy the motel and to explore Santa Barbara some more.
