My wife and I stayed for at Brisas de Mar, Inn at the Beach for nine days in early January. We had a wonderful visit there. The staff were all great. It felt a bit like a family "home" rather than a hotel. Our room was great and was nicely laid out. The service was excellent, as well. The perks were equally impressive...the breakfast, wine & cheese, and cookie times were all delightful. We also enjoyed the access to the bikes for getting around town. The Inn was also very close to the downtown areas and the beaches. We walked almost everywhere we were going in the city. Finally, when we rented a car for the last part of our stay, we were grateful for access to free parking. All in all, we would highly recommend Brisas del Mar. If we ever go back to Santa Barbara, we would, without doubt, return to Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach.

What blew me away here were all the little touches: Daily continental breakfast, cocktail hour (even kid/non-alcoholic friendly alternative of hot apple cider), cookies and milk hour: all of which you can enjoy outside in their patio area or inside with the cozy setup next to the fireplace. A chilled bottle of champagne with the whole setup awaited us in our room and because I'm an Orbitz VIP, I also received two free tastings at Santa Barbara winery, which we put to good use! We booked got a standard room (they also have rooms with kitchenettes in them). The room itself was ok. I think they we recently remodeled too. The bed and pillows, however, were so soft and fluffy, I got one of the best nights of sleep for as long as I can remember. It was hard to leave! They offer free bikes to explore the area too! A pool, spa and gym is also on site. The staff is so friendly. Every time we walked in, we were greeted with a genuine smile. Gorgeous grounds. It really has that "Santa Barbara" feel. Great proximity to the beach, the pier and Old Town. A lot within walking (or biking) distance. I would re-book when I come back for future visits. (Oddly enough, we were meeting up with my friends later on in this roadtrip and three of four of us had randomly stayed at Brisas and had great things to report!) Keep it up, Brisas!

The property was beautiful & quaint, convenient to the beach & wharf. Beautiful area.

Will definitely go back. Very friendly staff and gave great recommendations to restaurants

Nice staff. Bikes to use. Nice kitchen. Lots of goodies around. We did have some ants in the room

Room was clean bed comfortable love that they provided bikes for free breakfast was just ok

Super friendly and accommodating staff, great location...we will stay there again.

The hotel was very accommodating and helpful to making some last minute changes in my itinerary. Very good service.

Nice, great staff, centrally located. Would visit again.

Such a sweet little place to stay... This was a great room at a reasonable price. The staff here were very nice and helpful.

All employees absolutely fabulous!!! Great location, exceptionally clean rooms and property!

Great intimate inn, close to pier & beach. Staff was welcoming & courteous. Special amenities included wine & cheese cocktail hour, bottle of champagne cooling in room! Will return anytime I can.

Rooms are nice but location and facility are not great. courtyard is the parking lot and located next to a gas station. Good enough hotel, but if you are looking for the Santa Barbara experience keep looking.

Better than advertised. Close to the attractions but not on top of the clutter. Great staff, Comfy bed and the bikes were good too. Will revisit ASAP .

So many extra amenities included such as a complimentary bottle of champagne, free bicycles to borrow, wine and cheese tasting, milk and cookies in the evening, and a complimentary breakfast.

Shabby motel style hotel with outdated furnishings in down market part of town.
