Great lodging to stay in Santa Barbra , older and well maintained, hot and clean jacuzzi and lovely pool. Clean rooms and very comfortable mattresses and pillows .
Air conditioning works perfect , television is perfect with plenty of channel choices .
Easy access and parking .
Pretty quiet , we stayed downstairs and there were some early morning loudness , this can’t be controlled with guests.
So easy to catch the #11 bus into downtown Santa Barbra . Many little essential shops around like 7/11 for a late night snack , water or coffee.
Great little restaurants around nestled within walking distance . We had breakfast at The Farmer Boys and the service n food were great, there is also a Dennys and Janine’s restaurant within a block .
For those in need of a dispensary, there is one located across the street , but DID NOT see any activity that was shady or unusual characters hanging around . Everything is so clean and meticulously managed in Santa Barbra . The Sandpiper was more than we expected , we loved it and will be back and also refer to our friends , family and clients that have kids attending UCSB.
It is very quaint and local to all. Don’t expect fancy and frills . This is such a humble, adorable older hotel , but beat out the Ramada by Wyndham 20x’s over in cleanliness and maintenance of the property.
The free breakfast and coffee is perfect, enough to get you out the door and on to exploring Santa Barbra .
The easy of booking and hotel reception 👌
