It's very good for a simple, no frills hotel. It's clean, service was prompt, there are 2 nice pools and a good free breakfast buffet. It's a little far from the heart of State Street but for the price it can't be beat.

- Service was prompt and courteous. No hassles even though I prepaid through some other website. - Nice landscaping all over the property, which seemed to be a repurposed apartment complex. - Loved the vaulted ceiling in the room. Nice linens and nice tho dated artwork. Had microwave, fridge and even an iPod player. - Boyfriend said he wanted to... More

Pleasantly surprised. Booked on line without being familiar with the area. Service was excellent. Older hotel, nicely updated with 2 pools and a hot tub. Nice linens. And right down the street from Shopping and restaurants

After shopping around I booked a night here. Somehow, it was triple booked, but I caught it in time to cancel 2 w/o charges. I used a pre paid debit card to book the room. Nowhere does it state they don't accept them. When we got there the 1st time, room was not ready. An hr. later, still not ready.... More

Can choose from a wide range of tasty breakfast options in a nicely set out diner . Both pool and hot tub areas were very nice and a pleasure to relax in... More

While this large motel met our needs - a place to sleep for a night - it is average and uninspiring in almost every way. From the somewhat dated rooms which provide just the basics (including a very poor shower), to the motel grounds and facilities, to the general service, it's all just going through the motions, with nothing much...

We three stayed at The Sandman Inn for one night; May 7, 2013. I had made the reservation several weeks before and was told that we would have a room with two queen beds, a hall with a bath, and another room with one queen bed. We were traveling with a friend and we needed privacy. The room would cost... More

I stayed there for just one night but could be 1 week. Breakfast better than other hotels. Not so far from downtown, 6 min by car. The rooms are new. Park near the rooms. Santa Barbara is an amazing city to know if you are comming from rwy 1. You can stay there fore some hours or some days. The... More

Everything about this reasonably-priced hotel is charming. The people are all outstanding - helpful, friendly, gracious. The room is contemporary, clean, and comfortable. The pools and whirlpool are perfect. Laundry room is functional. Complimentary breakfast is a delight, with several times more options than most hotels offer. Right on the highway - easy to find. We didn't want to leave!
