This is a great choice if you want to stay on the east end of town, one block from the beach. Yes, it's a motel, but that's neat, and it's renovated, updated, and clean. Our room on the upper level had a view of the ocean. The fridge and microwave were useful to have. HIghly recommended, although it's not bargain... more

Stayed here 2 nights after reading the great reviews on here. Plus for the price and location to the beach in Santa Barbara, I chose here to save a little $$. I was bummed out when we arrived, I guess I was expecting a little more. It is a very small property, only about 11 or 12 rooms and very... more

Stayed one night here while driving up to San Francisco. This is a lovely motel, very very clean. All the reviews on here are true. I would definetely recommend this motel. The bedroom was really pretty and cozy. It had a flat screen television and lovely plants in the room as well.The bathroom was extremally clean also. This place is... more

We stayed in the "suite" over the office. The price was ok for the amenities. Good size for two with an extra bedroom with sofa bed and kitchen. They do allow pets for $10 per nite. It had a wonderful view of the ocean and park across the street. It is right over a main street so it is kind... more

What a bargain! We spent 4 days / 3 nights and had a very positive experience all around. Some highlights: Personal management and personal service; dog friendly; lovely kitchenettes; great location. We recommend giving it a try. more

This is the second year I've stayed at the Blue Sands Motel. It's a block from the beach and a short walk to restaurants and shopping. This year I stayed in one of the remodeled rooms and it was very nice. more

We had a great weekend stay at the Blue Sands Motel. We stayed in a room that had a small kitchen. It was a great little kitchen and it even had a small oven and stove. Another plus is that there is a door to the kitchen so it is separate from the bedroom. Our baby goes to bed at... more

The Blue Sands is less than a half block from one of the most beautiful beaches in Santa Barbara. So it gets more stars than a hotel with the exact same room and amenities would get in the middle of nowhere. We paid $105 a night for a midweek stay, and compared to all other beachside hotels that was a... more

I stayed here on March 18 & 19 on the way up the PCH. The hotel is small, but nice. It is the least expensive you'll find close to the beach. I stayed in one of their upgraded rooms and the room was nice with a plasma screen tv, but the bathroom was great. It looked like it had been... more
