Santa Barbara Leadbetter Beach Hotels

"The Hotel Santa Barbara property was very nice. Central location, clean, with very friendly staff. Housekeeping is "by request" so you have to let the front desk know if/when you need service. The Central location was also a minor drawback since our room was right on State Street so street noise at night was noticeable. A pop-up crepes tent showed up just outside our window each night which contributed to the noise. Additionally, there was a wedding party/guests also staying on our floor who got loud at night. The next tine I stay there (there will be a next time) I will request a room in a quieter section of the hotel. I give the hotel 5 stars for the premises and staff, but 4 stars just due to the noise we experienced on our 3 night stay."

"Clean, nicely updated. "

"The hotel was in a prime location! Love that it was so close to the beach and you could walk everywhere… It also had a free breakfast for our kids, which was great! I think my only few complaints would be no gym, small small pool and if you’re using the bathroom To get ready there is no door between you and the people Sleeping :("

"We enjoyed the location and walked to the beach, wharf and restaurants and drove easily to vineyards and other beaches. We loved the free bikes, warm pool and hot tub as extra treats. The front desk staff was so helpful when we checked in, giving us lots of area info. Good breakfast. One of our two beds had an older feeling mattress that wasn’t very comfortable. We’d return there for sure. "

"Great stay!"

"Attention to detail in regard to our room was outstanding. The hotel looks like it went through a complete renovation. While our room was not very big, it was very comfortable. The king size bed was comfortable and had luxurious linens! The bathroom had an amazingly large walk-in shower. The location made it perfect for going to the beach or walking downtown. We came to Santa Barbara by train from San Diego and the Motel was a short walk away from the train station. Stearns Pier is a 5-minute walk away! We loved that this motel is locally owned and operated! The Marina Beach Motel is a place we will recommend to friends and family who visit Santa Barbara! "
