Our stay at the Marina Brach Motel was fantastic! The location was a huge plus being just a short walk from the beach and other attractions. The rooms were clean and featured a lovely shower that made our mornings enjoyable. The friendly staff made our visit even better, though parking was a bit tight at times, and we had some noise disturbances from neighboring rooms. Overall, it offers great value for a comfortable stay in Santa Barbara.
