The rooms were roomy, beds were fine, if anything, I typically like to book hotels that offer breakfast that's part of the deal. Even though they say they offer breakfast, it's more like continental breakfast where it's basic pastries/muffins, cereal. They should say they serve continental breakfast. That's my only criticism on this really.

Easy, quick check in, place is clean, wish there was more, warm food for breakfast, but they did have fruit, good coffee in the room. Staff was nice. Parking and premises felt safe and clean. Proximity to restaurants was walking distance.

This is really an excellent hotel. The young woman who checked us in was super helpful and well trained and appeared to love her job. The room was very clean and comfortable. Exceptional value ! And a nice simple continental breakfast with pre-packaged food that was also very clean and tidy.

It's a good spot. It's safe (as is most of SB), not far from groceries, State Street, the beach, etc. The staff was friendly and professional at check-in. The jacuzzi was warm, and the continental breakfast served it's purpose. It will not compete in appearance or comfort with $200-$300 stays outside of this area, but it's on the cheaper side for this city and parallel in my mind with M6.

Traveled to Santa Barbara to visit Lotusland and stayed at the Sandpiper. It was a great adventure and Sandpiper is so centrally located that it was perfect. Great service, very nice staff!

Don’t get a 1st floor room. You can hear every movement of the upstairs room above. Especially when the toilet is flushed or water turned on. Very noisy!

Check-in was great. Very friendly and quick. Room was older but clean. Microwave blocked part of TV which was odd. Bed was not comfortable at all. But my biggest complaint was they advertise a continental breakfast- which I knew could mean very little- and it was just that! It was advertised with a variety of things- oatmeal (just add water), cereal, coffee/tea. Had read reviews that referenced it but hoped it was going to be different as our stay was over a weekend. Ended up walking across the street to the bakery/cafe! Overall not bad- but probably wouldn’t stay there again!

For the price, this is one of the best options I've found anywhere in the US, Australia, or New Zealand. Rooms are simple but clean and have the necessary amenities. The pool is great, as is the spa. Great value for money.

The price of the room.

It’s in prime area, there are many restaurants and shops around, very convenient locations, only a few minutes drive to the mission, court house, and the wharf. The room we stayed was very clean, quiet, and well maintained. Parking is convenient and plenty. Breakfast was minimal, it was ok but no eggs, waffles, protein. Overall, it’s better than expected for us for price we paid.

Stayed one night after booking the day before. Was open 24/7 for check-in with a nice large room and standard furniture (mini fridge + microwave). Breakfast was small but serviceable. Overall it fit the bill quite nicely
8.0
Very clean, friendly and quick service, felt safe and good location, walkable to restaurants. Internet was slow and the rooms could use another lamp.
