While this large motel met our needs - a place to sleep for a night - it is average and uninspiring in almost every way. From the somewhat dated rooms which provide just the basics (including a very poor shower), to the motel grounds and facilities, to the general service, it's all just going through the motions, with nothing much...

We three stayed at The Sandman Inn for one night; May 7, 2013. I had made the reservation several weeks before and was told that we would have a room with two queen beds, a hall with a bath, and another room with one queen bed. We were traveling with a friend and we needed privacy. The room would cost... More

I stayed there for just one night but could be 1 week. Breakfast better than other hotels. Not so far from downtown, 6 min by car. The rooms are new. Park near the rooms. Santa Barbara is an amazing city to know if you are comming from rwy 1. You can stay there fore some hours or some days. The... More

Everything about this reasonably-priced hotel is charming. The people are all outstanding - helpful, friendly, gracious. The room is contemporary, clean, and comfortable. The pools and whirlpool are perfect. Laundry room is functional. Complimentary breakfast is a delight, with several times more options than most hotels offer. Right on the highway - easy to find. We didn't want to leave!

We spent our last night of our trip here, and had a good room and enjoyed the pool. Breakfast in the morning seemed to involve an awful lot of packaging - but there was a plentiful choice of different foods. Eating out in the local area was pretty uninspiring though - there seemed to be a lot of chain restaurants... More

Quiet clean, about 2 miles from centre of town. great breakfast room and food. This is a good break if driving the pacific coast as we did.The breakfast is pleantiful and in a really interesting room.

When we arrived it was after 9:00pm. Check in at that time was easy. When we got into the room carrying what we could carry from the car, we opened the door and reached at the wall for the light switch. We found a plastic wall plate, but it had no switch. So we started searching for the light switch.... More

Stayed at the Sandman Inn for one night just recently. I took the recommendation from Trip advisor's reviewers and was not disappointed. This is really a first rate establishment with everything that a traveller would require - Two pools, great breakfast, convenient location and amazing staff. I would highly recommend the Sandman Inn to fellow travellers and would definitely stay... More

Sandman Inn is a very good motel when you’re staying in Santa Barbara area. It has a place to eat breakfast called Al’s Diner that looks like a 50’s diner. It had 2 bedrooms in our room that we stayed in. It had music and movie décor in the motel. It's a cute place. Shower is noisy. Carpet is old.... More
