We've stayed at Sandpiper for the last 30 years, whenever we visit family in the area. It's consistently clean, convenient, and just what we need for our travels. The upgrades over the years have been appreciated too :).

The rooms are clean and comfortably furnished - not plastic-y or bolted down - with real furniture. Breakfast is great. The rooms all face the inner motor court and feel safer than most motels. The a/c worked great! The pool looks clean and well maintained.

The Sandpiper is our go-to spot when overnighting in Santa Barbara. It’s reasonably priced and convenient for us when visiting family in town. Located on State Street the hotel is close to restaurants and gasoline stations. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and professional and knows us by name. We generally don’t take advantage of the breakfast but know that it’s basic in nature providing coffee, cereal and pastries.
