I loved my stay here. Everyone I interacted with was so pleasant and hospitable. I especially appreciated that the man who checked me in gave me a map and a rundown of Santa Barbara. Their breakfast and happy hour are super cute. Location is convenient to State Street and the beaches. I was able to walk everything with no problem.

We loved our stay at Brisas del Mar Inn. The accomodations were wonderful and included a small kitchen and living room/dining room area. Location was only a short walking distance to the harbor, and parking was always available in front of our room. What took it over the top was the daily breakfasts and the afternoon cheese and wine. It was a great way to start and end our day and we really appreciated it. Service was always with a smile too. Will definitely come again!

Everything was very good, we received a nice reception from the gentleman at the desk when we arrived! The champagne welcome was appreciated. Nice clean pool and beautiful flowers all over the property. Comfortable beds and nice shower. My only complaint is that Rm 22 is not a good location. Its next to the maids room and was very very loud whenever they needed to go in there! Our headboard shook every time they slammed the door! We will be back , but will request a different room.

I never stated here. Upon check in, night manager, Aaron, said they have no parking for my car, that it didn’t fit into parking. My car is a jeep with a roof rack, nothing unusual. Then, homeless person began telling me how he is coming to visit me. This hotel unlike advertised is not on the beach, it is near a freeway entrance and right next to gas station, it is surrounded by homeless, car noise and ocean or beach is nowhere to be found. Night manager asked for my ID, I told him it was in the car. He filled me to my car and began yelling at me that he doesn’t want to give me a room because I was upset and he didn’t like my tone. He refused service, because there is no parking and hotel lied in its advertising. I left, called Expedia asking for. Refund. Manager then lied to Expedia, told them I had no ID for check in. He scared me and my son, with his angry manners, then refused service and proceeded to lie about all of it to Expedia not to provide a refund owed.
