Sandpiper Lodge
If you’re getting 2 beds I recommend asking for room 220 it’s the best and it’s fully renovated. Has a living room and 2 separate bedrooms plus a walk in shower.

Hyatt Place Santa Barbara
This is a very nice property. Room was spacious and updated. Right off the freeway. Slightly north of downtown SB but still easy to get back and forth. Breakfast was also wonderful. Would stay again if on a roadtrip.
