Sandyland Reef Inn

modern room and bathroom, comfortable bed, big tv, heating, friendly staff, free coffee. although I didn’t use it, the swimming pool and spa looked nice

if I had to find one dislike it would be that the rooms facing the street have bright lights pointing right at them. I understand this is to make the property stand out for people driving past but it keeps the rooms from being fully dark. if those front rooms had thicker curtains to block out the light that would be amazing. Not a huge problem but this is literally the only thing I could fault about the place

The inn was good for what we paid. We just needed a place to stay for the night. It’s a nice place to stay if you’re visiting Santa Barbara. Downtown SB is 15 minute drive.

There was a lot of black lint in the bed but at least it WASN’T bed bugs

It all thank you nice place great staff

I was charged wrong and after a day went by i was locked out and forced to go to the office where I was told I could be refunded my money or pay an additional 156 dollars for the weekend t hat there employee made a mistake. I felt they should of just honored what I already paid

Clean, spacious, comfortable rooms with refrigerator, WiFi, large TV and great shower. There is free parking available, but it can get busy at times. Only 15mins drive to Santa Barbara.

It can be noisy at night time as it's situated right next to the freeway so if you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs.

locational

convenient to the Freeway means it’s ON the freeway. a lot of freeway noise. a/c was loud too.

Cute, updated, comfy. Details that count make the room pretty! I expected I simpler "motel", but I was pleasantly surprised

I could hear the tv being played upstairs and all the plumbing moves in the next room.

The facility was a bit old, but well-maintained. Staff was always friendly and helpful. The in-room microwave and fridge were great. When we visit the area again, we will definitely consider staying here.

Parking was an issue. We could not always find a space to accommodate our car. Part of this was due to the fact that the facility was hosting a number of construction workers who had large trucks, so this might not be the norm.

Great place to stay for visiting the Carpenteria/Santa Barbara area. Convenient, good value, and clean enough for those who are easy going, low maintenance, and want something a little more colorful than a motel 6. Only true bummer is no coffee maker in the room but The Lucky Llama is close enough to start your day with great coffee on the beach!

The gentleman checking us in was great. Saw my daughter in a wheelchair and changed our room for a downstairs one and made it very comfortable for us. I really appreciated it

The gentlemen when checking out wasnt as friendly. Checked room so we could get our $100 cash depisit back. My disabled daughter drooled in her sleep so he said there was a $10 charge. He gave me $70. I had to tell him that was a 30 dollar charge. He gave me the other $20. I got a call later that day asking if i had checked out. Apparently the morning guy never checked me out

Cute little motel with easy access from the freeway. The rooms were clean and the decor was nice. They cleaned our room each day, which I did not expect and gave us fresh linens and towels as well. There were plenty of cable channels to choose from and overall it was mostly quiet.

Only one car is allowed a space in the lot. There was additional parking on the street. The beds were too firm for my back, so I woke up sore. They hold $100 in cash or on your card until you check out. They also charge $5 per lost card key.
