This Santa Barbara Motel, 15 minutes’ drive from the University of California Santa Barbara, offers a complimentary daily breakfast buffet and free bicycles to its guests during their stay.

This non-smoking motel is 5 minutes walk from the beach, marina and wharf. Highway 101 is 5 minutes’ drive from the property. Breakfast was basic, but adequate. We liked that it went until 10:30 am, giving us plenty of time to walk first.
