Not within walking distance of downtown Santa Barbara
The Sandman Inn, a value hotel with a '50s-style breakfast area and 112 modern rooms, also has two outdoor heated pools and a big hot tub. It has a large breakfast selection, and is a good family-friendly budget pick, but be aware that it’s a 10-minute drive from downtown Santa Barbara, making a car necessary. Guests may also want to check out the Inn at East Beach, a smaller hotel closer to the beach but with slightly higher rates.

Scene
Modern lobby, pretty outdoor pool area, and '50s-style breakfast area
The grounds at the Sandman Inn are pretty, with tall palm trees and two separate pool areas with lounge chairs and curvy pools. The lobby is bright, with tall windows and modern decor, including leather club chairs and soft, round hanging lights. Next to the black-and-red front desk is a small self-service coffee, tea, and juice station. Rooms are located in separate buildings, meaning guests have to walk outside to reach their rooms. Breakfast is served in a '50s-style area, with checkered floors and cool, vinyl red-and-white striped chairs and retro booths; a cute patio area with tables and umbrellas provides outdoor seating.
