Mason Beach Inn 3 stars

Hotel in West Beach, Santa Barbara

Less than 5 minutes' walk from the beach, this Santa Barbara inn features an outdoor heated pool and a hot tub. All guestrooms offer free WiFi. Spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained. A quick, pleasant walk to the fun Funk Zone and the beach. We drove but could easily have taken the train -- also close to the train station. Not as glamorous as Hotel California but world's less expensive. Good price performer.

Best Western Plus Santa Barbara 4 stars

Hotel in Santa Barbara Downtown, Santa Barbara

This Santa Barbara, California hotel is located 3 miles from Stearn’s Wharf on the Pacific Ocean. The hotel offers free WiFi and cable TV in every room. Hands down one of the best hotel stays I’ve had in a long time. All of the staff were amazing! The front desk staff helped us navigate how to arrange for the shuttle, gave great tips about the area including which places were safe to walk at night, even drawing out on a map places they recommended visiting. Shuttle drivers are awesome getting us to and from airport even as we juggled with cancelled flights and flooding. They were all so friendly and genuinely caring. Room was comfortable, spacious and clean. Very quiet stay. Enjoyed the variety of coffee available and the perk of being able to make a complimentary hot oatmeal or grab an apple or orange if wanted to gab something quick instead of go and eat a sit down breakfast in the restaurant.
