Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

8/10 Good
"Friendly staff and clean room with good overall location walkable to main Santa Barbara tourist locations, however directly next to a gas station. The room and property are dated but generally well maintained. Between the decent complimentary breakfast and the pool/jacuzzi area, the stay felt worth the $. Plentiful, complimentary parking is also a plus."

"Hotel was updated and modern with new HVAC units that were very quiet. Excellent location close to the beach. Breakfast featured waffles and assorted specialty coffees, but the only protein was yogurts. Would have appreciated towel bars especially for the hand towels."

Vinland Hotel and Lounge

10/10 Excellent
"Great room in a perfect location. Finally, a hotel with good water pressure! I appreciated the coffee and cold water available in the lobby. Hotel is within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the tub was not usable as it didn’t have a stopper. As a mom with little kids you often prefer to bathe them than to assist them in a shower getting yourself wet in the process. There was only one outlet next to one bed and the pool was very cold. And if little boys say it was cold, you know it was cold! It said “heated” but it was really cold. Also, no towels at the pool. Staff was wonderful and I would definitely stay here again!"
