"Let me say that I really really like this hotel. The outdoor space is so fun, the location is one block off of State Street, the rooms are nicely done, and I can bring my dog! There is easy parking right next door (you have to pay, but cheap for Santa Barbara). I like using my phone as a room key. The room is well appointed and has little touches like a wine bottle opener. The fire place in each room is nice, too! My only downside is that they require you to upload a picture of your...

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

5/5 Excellent
"We were upgraded from a standard king room to a junior suite which was a lovely surprise. The room was spacious and the staff had a bottle of chilled champagne waiting for us in the fridge. The free breakfast and happy hour were both appreciated as well. The bed was super comfortable and we slept very well. Despite being on a busy corner the hotel felt very private and was quiet. No negatives to report. It was also very walkable to the beach/pier and restaurants. If you’re thinking of a stay in SB, definitely check out Brisa’s Del Mar. We will stay here again!! "
