Plussat: Quiet with a beautiful mountain backdrop. Super clean.

Miinukset: Breakfast was a little lackluster

Plussat: the decor was kind of cute. I just needed a safe place to sleep after bday celebration in DT Santa Barbara and this place did the job. I liked the bathroom sink....and there was lots of shelving to set my hairdryer and makeup and straightener.

Miinukset: Not as pictured. No kitchenette. Tiny room.

Plussat: The room was nice, check-in and out were very efficient. The staff was very nice.

Miinukset: There's a little bit or road noise but not too bad considering it's on a busy street

Plussat: Lovely, unexpectedly large rooms in a beautifully designed, renovated motel space--Wendy, the owner/manager, is super friendly and accommodating. Totally recommended and would definitely stay here again.

Plussat: Easy, Cute , Perf Location !!! UCSB near by !!

Miinukset: Zero

Plussat: Everything about the hotel and location.

Miinukset: Having to change rooms twice, the first time because the toilet didn't flush and the second time because we were awakened by the staff moving umbrellas to the pool on noisy dollies right outside our room.

Plussat: Friendly staff, spa was amazing, felt safe with masks and social distancing

Plussat: Beach adjacent location, beautiful grounds, nice restaurants, bar, lobby and gym.

Miinukset: Pools disheveled, understaffed and poor seating management. Day to day food options at restaurant(s) a bad value and created dissatisfaction immediately.

Plussat: Staff was amazing.

Miinukset: Pricing was pretty high

Plussat: Edgar at the poolside cabanas was incredible. He made us feel so welcome and made our day we spent with our niece we were visiting who goes to UCSB. Thank you!

Plussat: Gorgeous facilities

Miinukset: Everything was very expensive.

Plussat: Such a great luxurious get away that's only few hours away from SanFrancisco. Staff was so friendly and super helpful. Anything you could ask for, they would provide.

Plussat: Helpful, friendly staff who were on it to help you at any turn. Beautiful room, gorgeous pools, lovely setting.

Miinukset: Deck of pool should be scrubbed down at night ( lots of food waste, ketchup, etc left from previous days) and hot tubs could use a drain and scub/beach situation, a bit smelly.

Plussat: We liked the design and style comfort and the coziness of the place,before our trip I read some of the reviews that people said thier room wasn't clean me as a picky person when it comes to the hotel room,I was so surprised honestly it was very clean ,it's a good relaxing place.

Plussat: Professional, friendly & accomidating

Miinukset: Wished there were self-park options

Plussat: Rainy weekend. Cozy room. Weather forced us to stay onsite and take full advantage of the beautiful grounds and great amenities. Loved it.

Plussat: The staff was very nice.

Miinukset: A few things: Customer service follow through Attention to food specifications Continually asking for items We have stayed here many times prior to the change over to the Ritz. This is the first time I’ve ever felt to leave a bad review. Not really worth my money spent. Bummed.

Plussat: Friendly and helpful front desk guys

Miinukset: Old big chair in the room

Plussat: I liked that it wasn't far from activities, but far enough to relax. I was surprised with how quite it was, with how close to State Street we were. The staff were very friendly and helpful! The rooms were very clean, the building its self is older, however, they seem to have kept up on it very well.

Miinukset: When checking in, I was told the Internet info was provided on the room card and it was not, but that was a quick fix by just calling the office. They didn't have pool towels ready, but a staff brought them to us when they were dry. Everything I read said the pools were heated, but only one out of two pools were heated. The parking was alittle tight, I have a big truck, but it worked out. Nothing was bad enough to to not come back again. We will definitely stay here again. (:

Plussat: Only positive was the location and the proximity to Starbucks in the morning.

Miinukset: Outdated furnishings that reminded me of the 1970s. Awkward layout of hotel so you can here everyone coming and going. Nothing upscale or even nice about the hotel and the $280 nightly rate is a joke. Hotel is in par with a motel 6.

Plussat: It was quiet

Plussat: For a one night stay it was good

Miinukset: Facilities are very old, any time someone closed a door the whole building shook. My son was worried when he could hear the neighbors showering.

Plussat: Clean facility

Miinukset: Noisy employees ,room up against storage room.tight parking

Plussat: It was quiet.

Miinukset: Needs to be modernized.

Plussat: Quaint and private.

Miinukset: Not close to downtown

Plussat: Rooms had Bottled water and fruit and bathroom toiletries were nice

Plussat: The maids were so helpful, welcoming and friendly. Did their utmost to make our stay comfortable.

Miinukset: Even though we told the front desk when we arrived that we belonged to their Rewards program and were staying for three nights, they put us at the far end of the building where the workers had rooms. They woke up early, made lots of noise loading their trucks and same was true when they returned in the evening. The grounds looked overgrown and dirty. Bed was old and uncomfortable. Next time we will stay at Best Western on Calle Real in Goleta. Much nicer.

Plussat: adorable hotel friendly staff

Miinukset: housekeeping was ok found previous tenants things

Plussat: Very comfortable and clean rooms, very useful facilities like laundry for guests and coffee in the reception area, kind staff very helpful. Beautiful outside features.

Plussat: The room is very spacious and comfortable. The bed was great. The complimentary fruits in the room were a very nice touch.

Plussat: The position of the hotel was perfect for shopping and the waterfront area it was also easy to find for the first time and the complimentary coffees available in reception was excellent.

Plussat: Very clean property with friendly staff and two great pools for the kids.

Plussat: Nice relaxing hotel.

Miinukset: Not very close to the town and beach, you will need to drive.

Plussat: I liked the exercise room, the room was clean and had a beautiful view of the pool and mountains

Miinukset: $review.cons

Plussat: The room was decent and clean for the most part. There was a crunched up sock in the curtain, which was weird but we didn't mind it. Overall, the property was quiet, and we had a good night's sleep. Honestly, we spent very minimal time at the hotel itself.

Plussat: Continental breakfast! Pool and Jacuzzi =)

Miinukset: They did not have rooms ready. Waited 2 hours for our room to be ready! Frustrating!

Miinukset: Price

Plussat: Love the location - near Vons, In-N-Out ,and close to the freeway. The pool and spa are great and the grounds are very relaxing. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfy.

Miinukset: This was the second time i stayed here. I really dislike the A/C in the rooms. they do not work right. It shuts off when it wants and goes on periodically. This NEEDS to be updated soon. I would definitely choose a room downstairs and facing the pond and pool.

Plussat: the beds were comfortable

Miinukset: Their key system broke down and we were unable to get into our room for over an hour. Concerning and a inconvenience to end the night after a wedding.

Plussat: The staff provided good customer service.

Miinukset: Throughout the facility, it was evident that the facility is in desperate need of a major remodel. There was a constant musky smell in the facility. Fixtures were outdated.

Plussat: Hotel was good...clean, comfortable, convenient, but it was the staff that inspired me to give the excellent rating. They were the best I've ever encountered at a hotel. Gave good suggestions for dining and just very friendly and helpful with any request.

Miinukset: Purchased this room on Hotwire to find it was $30 cheaper if I had called the hotel directly. Handicapped accommodations so that there was very little shelf space in the bathroom. Towel racks were grab bars next to the toilet. No place to sit except desk or bed. Used q-tips on floor. Second time that we stayed there but very disappointed this visit. Brunch was so crowded that you couldn't sit down and the staff couldn't keep things stocked.

Plussat: BED

Miinukset: THE BREAKFAST

Plussat: Everything was fine. No complaints -- but nothing was special about this place. We arrived late and left early so we were just looking for a place to sleep. The rooms were convenient, clean and comfortable. this was one of the few places in its price range that had a pool, free breakfast and Queen (as opposed to double) beds.

Miinukset: $200 a night for what was basically a Motel 6 seemed pricey to me -- even for Santa Barbara. The breakfast was a little skimpy: I would have like bacon or sausage to accompany the scrambled eggs and typically a Danish or sweet roll is included. The conveyor machine wasn't working so the entire breakfast room had to wait to use the toaster.

Plussat: Nice place to stay. Clean,comfortable,convenient, and nice staff. The breakfast was good, not just rolls and coffee. It was the same all 3 mornings and it would be nice to have had different choices.

Miinukset: I called to check on my reservation and they said they could not find one. When I arrived, they still were not able to find it, even with my confirmation number. They did get a room for us and it was an upgrade since they did not have the room I reserved. It did cost a little more.

Plussat: Room was cozy and coffee kuerig machine. Decent breakfast.

Miinukset: Walls are thin and our neighboring guests were very loud till middle of the night.

Plussat: This was the second time we have stayed at the Sandpiper. It is clean, convent to venues in the area and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We would stay there again if we were in the area.

Plussat: Bed was fine. Breakfast was fine. Breakfast consisted of heated cheese omelettes folded into the shape of tacos. They also offered slices of bread, bagels, croissants and English muffins. They had conventional pull down toasters and conveyor belt toasters. They also had small refrigerated yoplait yogurt containers as well along with fresh apples and bananas. The room had Cox cable TV. Had a pretty standard selection of channels not a whole lot but it included local news, each meal and some of the standard basic cable channels like ESPN. service was good too

Miinukset: The Wi-Fi was slow at times because the wildfires that were happening, which knocked out some of the communication lines at times. Is a newer generation of people start using hotels, cable TV should start being a lemonade it since it is a waste of money it makes you watch ads. It would be better for all hotels including sandpiper lodge to invest in faster Wi-Fi and ethernet instead.

Plussat: Clean, practical, comfortable.

Plussat: The breakfast in the morning was great.

Miinukset: This is not a 3 star hotel. I would say it's 2. It was really loud. Bedding was not soft. Old facilities.

Plussat: Older but nice room. Comfy bed. Huge shower. Easy access to yummy restaurants. Other travelers there very nice and international. Loved the continental breakfast that was included with our stay. The cheese omelets so yummy on the croissants, made it more than the usual continental and really hit the spot. Checking in and out quick, easy and very efficient, friendly.

Miinukset: Carpets a little worn out. Smoke alarm battery decided to chirp in the middle of the night. Needed replacing. TV wasn’t working when we 1st got there but was fixed in no time.

Plussat: Not much

Miinukset: Floors had stains all over. Furniture was shabby. And the smell was horrible.

Plussat: Location. Front desk staff was very helpful!

Miinukset: WiFi signal was spotty in our room.

Plussat: Very nice staff and nice room

Miinukset: Shower leaves a little to improve.

Plussat: staff were very friendly, breakfast was basic but good. room was big and comfy. very suitable for our needs. shopping very good in santa barbara!

Miinukset: would definitely need a car, its not walkable to the city centre itself

Plussat: Roominess, cleanliness, service

Miinukset: Breakfast could be richer

Plussat: We got a little apartment and not only a room. It was awesome!

Plussat: Good value for money ie overnight stop

Miinukset: Downtown Santa Barbara/ Beach too far from Hotel.Hotel next to busy main road junction

Plussat: Huone oli tilava.

Miinukset: Ilmastointilaitteiden meteli.

Plussat: The rooms are ok, breakfast had nice fresh bakery products.

Miinukset: Very noisy! We were almost kicked out of our room because of some maintanance issues, and the reception employee had no idea of what was going on. We didn't receive any explanation, anything. It was our departure day, but still was not planning to wake up in that way. Also, you need a car to get downtown, is very far away from anything interesting.

Plussat: Proximity to bus stop for bus going to downtown Santa Barbara. Proximity to certain markets and restaurants.

Miinukset: People in the parking lot making noise every night; staff should do something about this without tenants having to complain

Plussat: Nice, big and clean room - heated swimming pool - fitness looked nice but unfortunately no time to enjoy it !

Miinukset: A little bit far from the center - Our room was great but unfortunately dark because of the stairs just in front of our window - Breakfast was too basic

Plussat: $review.pros

Miinukset: To pay $150 for a night at a budget hotel that had rust around the windows and needed calking in the bathtub was the last thing i expected based on your reviews. The beds were not comfortable (contrary to your reviews), and the pillows were as thin as paper. It was as if we were staying at truly budget hotel - which is not the rate we were paying.

Plussat: The Sandpiper was a perfect location for us: close to the Earl Warren Showgrounds, also we were within walking distance of restaurants and a grocery store, so we made good use of the room's kitchenette.

Miinukset: $review.cons

Plussat: The beds were absolutely amazingly comfortable. One of the most comfortable beds I have had at a hotel. The room was very clean which is most important to me.

Miinukset: To far from downtown and beach. I did know it wasn't close when I booked it.

Plussat: It's a decent bed to sleep in at a reasonable price for the city it's in. Room clean.

Miinukset: Bad neighborhood, limited parking, 70's era facilities.

Miinukset: Needs some updating. Shower doors, etc.

Plussat: For some reason I felt this was an indoor hotel, not a motel. Past that shock, the location is very convenient. The room is small with a tiny bathroom. The bed was not comfortable and the cable tv has bad reception. Want coffe? Think again, as i checked the coffee maker there was an used coffee pouch in- do they ever get cleaned?! I say this is ok for a one night stay, not a good deal for the price.

Plussat: Clean rooms, attentive staff at front desk

Miinukset: Wifi didn't work in the room behind the pool, too much noise from neighboring guests

Miinukset: Hotel is old

Plussat: This was a very decent last second find for a weary solo traveler. Safe, quiet (midweek), and a convenient location.

Miinukset: Building was much older than I was expecting.

Miinukset: Inn and facility is old. Room does not have refrigerator. Beds are very old; I sunk into the mattress as I lay down. I probably wouldn't recommend this inn if you're looking for a comfortable place during a getaway weekend.

Plussat: Great pool area

Miinukset: No inc breakfast or fridge

Plussat: The room was very nice, lush green patio setting was a major plus. The only downside is the location if you don't have a car. It's not really walking distance to anything central. Otherwise, great value for the money.

Miinukset: Location

Plussat: The room was a decent size. The pool was nice.

Miinukset: The bed linens were old. The bed was old and as a result, not very firm. The cleaning carts make a ton of noise/rumbling when moving around so we were awaken at 7am by the sounds of carts and people scrambling above. The facilities are run down - the restroom door was rotted at the bottom, the toilet was small and squeelee on flush. Based on my experience, the hotel is 2 star not 3.

Plussat: Patio with table and chairs and the open back to court yard and pool.

Miinukset: No micro or fridge for the price that was payed. But this will be the place I stay when in Santa Barbara.

Plussat: You walk out of your room to a lush landscape, just a few steps away you can sit outside & enjoy great food & cocktails. I was only staying one night to catch an early flight- we didn’t have to leave the property!

Miinukset: Bathroom is really outdated, especially toilets. Peeling paint in bathroom, low light.

Plussat: Loved that our room had a patio that gave instant access to a beautiful pool in a beautiful setting. Very easy check in. We did not have an opportunity to use on site restaurant, but the menu looked very appealing and it had many people seated for dining. Especially for the value we would stay here again.

Miinukset: The rooms, and particularly the bathroom and shower is very dated and needs update.

Plussat: Peaceful, nice landscapes and nice pool

Miinukset: Hot tub jets were not working the best, restaurant pricey, and no fridge or microwave

Plussat: Second visit. Fun place to stay. Nice facilities. First choice for Santa Barbara.

Plussat: The inner courtyard area with all the palm trees made a very nice view out the balcony window. Bed was firm and comfortable.

Miinukset: Can't walk to downtown but we knew that going in.

Plussat: Flexible

Miinukset: Comforter was not clean

Plussat: none

Miinukset: all

Plussat: - very nice garden area that is unusual for hotels of that price category - clean - breakfast and free wifi included

Plussat: Although my room was small, it had been updated. The bathroom was recently updated with nicer fixtures. The grounds, although small, were well-tended and a respite from the typical motel fare. This is just across the street from Gelson's market and less than a mile from the La Cumbre Mall, so it's close to shopping and not far from Downtown Santa Barbara. There is a very nice residential area behind the motel so I had no concerns walking at night. The staff was very friendly too.

Miinukset: My room was fairly close to State Street, so I did start to hear traffic around 7am. If you're a light sleeper or like to sleep in you might want to get a room near the back of the motel.

Plussat: I enjoyed the front desk guy and enjoyed the room quality, location and everything really.

Miinukset: It wasn't perfectly cleaned, the parking is very limited, and it was a bit expensive.

Miinukset: Internet speed was too slow to go online and load any pages. I also could not watch YouTube or upload my photos from my phone to my computer. Internet speed should be much faster to keep up with other hotels and even hostels.

Plussat: beds comfortable

Miinukset: better AC unit. staff offered fan to help circulate AC

Plussat: This property is an older motel on a busy street that has been completely remodeled and updated. They have done so with great attention to detail and have stylishly created a space that feels like a quaint Latin American Village. The rooms feel modern with good beds and shower heads and accessories. Best of all, it is a really good value. Even though we needed to be on the opposite side of Santa Barbara, we have stayed here and enjoyed it on two occasions. You could argue that their continental breakfast is lacking because of a lack of a dining area but they have maximized a small outdoor patio for a pleasant 3 table setting if your plans allow. In this city of inflated hotel prices, we will return to Oasis Inn and Suites.

Plussat: wonderfully friendly staff. cool murals.

Miinukset: Not the hottest in terms of decorating style.

Plussat: Hot tub and massive 42" tv

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Free breakfast

Plussat: It was clear they are actively working on improving the property. The staff was nice and compared to othe hotels in the area the pricing was good.

Miinukset: When we did our pre check in we were told we were being given a free room upgrade. However when we got there they said the were unable to honor that upgrade. I would suggest not offering things you can not provide.

Plussat: No breakfast corona viral

Plussat: The bed was the BEST I've slept on!! SO soft!

Miinukset: There was a plastic bag (?) outside next to the trash bin. No big deal but hard to miss.

Plussat: It's cheap and functional

Miinukset: It's old and shoddy. Lack any real comfort.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Noisy, Smokey smelling , the sink was revolting

Miinukset: My reservation was for a non smoking room. They only had a smoking room for the price I had paid and wanted more money for a non smoking room.

Plussat: Well the fact you have in-n-out across the street is a bonus. Overall the stay was great, grab and go breakfast was tasty.

Miinukset: The only issue was the shower. After a few minutes the shower made an usual sound and the the hot water seemed as if it was running out.

Plussat: The people at the front desk were very helpful and understanding.

Miinukset: All rooms smelled like smoke

Plussat: Close to downtown Santa Barbara and walking distance from local eateries and bars

Plussat: The cleanliness

Miinukset: Size, no breakfast

Miinukset: N:a

Miinukset: It smelled so bad in the room, not tolerable we both got a huge headache.

Plussat: Close to near by attractions

Miinukset: The room was small

Plussat: It was close to whole foods

Miinukset: Most everything.

Plussat: The location was good.

Miinukset: I was very very disappointed that there was NOT a hair dryer in the room. I have NEVER Stayed at a hotel or motel that did not have a hair dryer.

Plussat: Cheap hotel with honest price, with all you need and free parking.

Miinukset: Too many truck drivers and weird figures attending hotel. Not a family environment, mostly at night.

Plussat: The hotel was clean and comfortable. It was easy to get around Santa Barbara. The location was quite central.

Miinukset: It would be better to stay further down State Street towards the beach. However, this was fine for our purposes.

Plussat: As always Santa Barbara is an expensive place. The hotel was a big surprise as to it's modern design and functionality, very nice. The cost was high but what you would expect for Santa Barbara.

Miinukset: I booked a queen sized bed but we were given a room with 2 full size beds. When we called the front desk we were told that it was our mistake not the hotel's and no rooms would be available for a few hours.

Plussat: The price was acceptable for the location. Good parking lot. They had a pool.

Plussat: The hotel was in a good location, a small drive away from the town centre. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms were funky and comfortable with the basic amenities, although the only thing missing was a hair dryer! Would definately stay there again and would recommend.

Miinukset: $review.cons

Plussat: Did not like anything about the place would never stay again..

Miinukset: Everything.dirty bedding was stained hair from previous guest was on the sheets stripped bedding and slept in clothes on mattress shower not working properly ,the iron they had for your use was old and burnt my pants was not working right,

Plussat: Cute room, large room---the king room is awesome! Large bathroom! Very spacious and nice. You'd pay the same at Motel 6---you might as well get something better for your money.

Plussat: The cost was the motive for going with Rose Garden Inn. I liked the huge comfortable bed and lots of storage. There is a fridge, stove and microwave in the room. We’re definitely going to remember that if we come back here again.

Miinukset: The power on the right side lamp kept going out. The water pressure for the hot water was very low to the point that the plumbing would shudder if you turned it on too fast. I heard that shuddering metallic noise several times in the morning as the other guests started their day. They light bulbs were also not matched. Some were daylight white while others were soft white. The two on either side of the bed were different colors so it was really obvious.

Plussat: As an alumni I was looking for a place to stay that was between IV and Downtown. This place proved to be exactly in the center. It has an iron and ironing board. The shower was clean and had hot water. Had a small fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Has Cable and HBO If you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay just to eat and shower this is it. I wouldn't look for anything more than that.

Miinukset: I would consider this place a 2.5 star motel. The room was small - the King size bed took up most of the space. The sheets were clean but stained. The bed was hard and not very comfortable. I'm normally a deep sleeper but I woke up every few hours. The sink water smelled like sulfur. The TV was very small. The parking lot can fill up very quickly and its sometimes difficult to get of your parking spot.

Plussat: Close to downtown sb (2-3 miles) for really good price

Miinukset: Not clean, i saw bugs and there was a spider falling on my bed out of the blue.

Miinukset: The sheets were dirty.

Plussat: staffs there r super nice

Plussat: Hotel staff was very nice.

Miinukset: I had bug bite around my neck and leg and cups are not clean at all.

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: Terrible smell all over the hotel. Could not even take a shower!!!!

Plussat: good location, clean

Miinukset: no coffee in the hotel supplied coffee maker

Plussat: It was quiet and centrally located. Basic accommodation at a reasonable price (for Santa Barbara).

Miinukset: There was a disagreeable odor in the room - like body sweat. Could have used a hook on the bathroom door for clothes etc

Plussat: The room was clean and had an microwave and a fridge. Free parking area.

Miinukset: The price was to expensive for our room. 5 min drive by car to the shopping area and sea-side. Our room had a bad smelling.

Plussat: High service quality. Staff and management are friendly, competent and caring. Good Room standard. Cleaning seems perfect. Seen as tourist, we give this motel a high ranking. For us non-urban people, Santa Barbara makes a perfect stay for a couple of days of recreation, coast-line and scenic expieriences.

Miinukset: There is a broard balcony at first floor. An arrangement of a small plastic table + 2 chairs to be place in front of some og the apartments - Good quality and a type, which can be stacked. To booking.com: At point 4 - question 3: A category "Couple - mid age" is missing. As I saw the typical visitor, many were, as we, in between young and elderly.

Plussat: $review.pros

Miinukset: Blankets really dirty and smelly, no swimming pool, way too expensive for what it is.

Plussat: $review.pros

Miinukset: The room nearby the road is noisy, I couldn't sleep all night. Usually I am a very heavy sleeper. The room was very small and the furniture was too big so I couldn't even relax.

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: Bed was so bad we had to leave.

Plussat: There was nothing I really liked relative to any other hotel/motel

Miinukset: There was trash under the bed, stains on the cover. Room had an irritable smell and I just was not a fan of the overall experience. I picked it because it was the cheapest room available last minute but had I would've known what the experience would have been like I would have rather spend twice the price for something more acceptable.

Plussat: The bedding was clean

Miinukset: The shower was disgusting! Old, not updated at all. And not very well cared for.

Plussat: Helpful staff.

Miinukset: It just needs a complete upgrade/remodel, all together. The bathroom had a smell of sewer.

Plussat: easy to book and took us late as we were driving from northern california south.

Miinukset: it was terribly expensive for the facility they offer. old, smelled like smoke, small bathroom, and the sheet had a stain. would have rather stayed in my car. wish we had.

Plussat: Location and price.

Miinukset: Room smelled bad. Carpet was very worn and tattered. Few and inconvenient electrical outlets.

Plussat: Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Very outdated. Badly needs upgrading.
