Hyatt Place Santa Barbara
Good, quiet hotel, good for families. Short drive into Santa Barbara. Not very walk friendly so car/cab will be a must to get around.

Sandpiper Lodge
Older hotel. The room was nice but carpet needs replaced. It was hard to get into the hotel parking lot but we never had an issue parking. Breakfast is continental so very basic.
