Beachside Inn
"Loved the location - near the beach, but not directly in Downtown Santa Barbara where it can be loud. The property had comfy beds and very quiet. Also enjoyed the free parking! The breakfast was good - upgrade from a typical Marriott but not gourmet. Nice they had coffee for a while in the morning. ..."
