This hotel does it right. It's customer service is what makes it stand out. Front desk staff, especially William, are welcoming, accommodating and sincere. The hotel is in a very convenient spot to walk to beach. We walked to dinner at a new restaurant called Toma which was excellent and moderately priced. We would,highly recommend both.

My husband and I recently stayed at the Brisas Del Mar for three days while in Santa Barbara. The location of the hotel is perfect as it is close to the beach, as well as the fun and exciting State street. The hotel is in great condition and offers numerous amenities to guests such as free bikes, wine and cheese,... More

Brisas Del Mar is reminiscent of how I believe all businesses used to be run a few generations ago. I can't begin to express my satisfaction in every way with this family owned Inn. I called William at 10:30 and he was so kind and offered us the best suite they have at a really amazing price. The room did... More

We stayed for one night. We hadn't booked so it was a last minute walk in and we got the last room available. The guy on reception was so helpful and let us look at the room first. The room was beautifully decorated with a separate dressing room and a lovely shower room. The reception area and lounge are also... More

For years I have buzzed pass this place and never given it a look. From the street, it doesn't look like much. Thanks to a revised website, and favorable price I gave it a try. Doesn't take much to please me in Santa Barbara. You are a two block walk to the beach, 4 blocks from State Street and NOT... More

After searching for a perfect getaway, we decided to book at the Brisas Del Mar. What a great choice! We were greeted graciously by William upon arrival who was by far the most helpful, personable, and most importantly, pleasant concierge we've ever encountered.
