Basic place to stay. No frills good for a nights sleep. Reasonable prices
Our stay, for our 38th wedding anniversary, was very nice. The room was immaculately clean, it was extremely quiet and the breakfast buffet was delicious. Sandpiper Lodge was easy to find, with everything we needed to find close by, such as restaurants and drugstores. I would recommend anyone to stay there. Thank you to the staff of the Sandpiper Lodge for an enjoyable stay.
2nd stay at this location in the past 3 years. Located on upper state street, it's not within walking distance of the downtown core but is surrounded by many restaurants and lots of shopping, including La Cumbre plaza where you'll find a large Macy's, Sears and many upscale shops. Quiet and comfortable, it offers a very good complimentary breakfast (great pastries, muffins, oatmeal and cereal, toast and bagels, mimi omelettes, fresh fruit, variety of juices and very good coffee). Would definitely recommend. Outdoor pool available, non smoking hotel.
Price was good for Santa Barbara, but terrible night service when checking in. The desk clerk was rude. I prepaid since it was for out of town family for an medical emergency with my family. He insisted I come from the hospital to pay again. Very rude and had an attitude before I got on the phone with him. This was on October 30. Family went somewhere else and I asked to cancel the reservations, but I was still charged.
Contacted the management and still waiting for them to call me back.
Never ever will I recommend this hotel even if I was not charged, rude staff and not responsive to my requests
Nice Lodge. Good room with comfortable beds. Walls were a little thin and you could hear other rooms' talking and laughing.
CONS: the north side room I stayed in was located next to a utility company supply yard = loud industrial noise starting around 5:30am, Air conditioner smelled very moldy, power went out at 7am and wasn't back when I checked out at 9:30, no hot water, several of the male janitorial employees loitered around staring while my girlfriend used the pool facility making her feel extremely uncomfortable. PROS : A Decent sized, clean room, good amenities for a great price. Free breakfast (albeit basic even by continental standards)
Good location and reasonable room. Breakfast is very basic - instant oatmeal, cornflakes, apples, pastries, milk, yoghurt. But nearby hotels at this price range don't provide breakfast at all. There is a fancy breakfast place which we liked (Jeanine's) next door.
I like it here because it's always clean. This place has a fridge and a microwave in the room. The jacuzzi is great here and the pool is warm for the cold weather. It has all that you need without having to pay much. Breakfast is free and the staff is friendly. This is the place to be.
Less expensive than the Motel 6 next door, but so, so much better. Complementary breakfast, with scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, and much more in a clean, dedicated dining room. Well-equipped gym, next to a good sized, clean pool and Jacuzzi. Comfortable rooms. Probably the best "bargain" in Santa Barbara's over-priced hotel market.
Great place. Very friendly customer service. Very delicious breakfast. I would highly recommend it.
Cozy place to stay for the night. Free continental breakfast and comfy beds.
The rooms were great. They were clean and big enough for 6 adults. Located close to downtown. There were restraunts and shopping centers close by , within walking distance.
This place was great. Good breakfast, comfy beds, clean bathroom...it was great!
The Sandpiper Lodge was a fantastic find. The two bedroom suite was perfect and was very pretty. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and offered teas that I drink, no strange off brands! We only have two small complaints. 1- There is only a shower, not a tub. 2- This hotel isn't pet friendly. We really loved to have brought our cat along with us. Otherwise, this is our favorite hotel in SB!!
