Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

3.5 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (1219)
"Brisas Del Mar was the perfect place to stay in Santa Barbara! We loved having access to the free bikes so that we could sight see easily, the lobby had SO many amenities and a free breakfast, and the rooms were super cute with great beds! The dvd players were an extra nice touch as well :) my only complaint was the early cut off for the hot tub. We had a nice dinner and wanted to use the pool facility, and found out it closes at 10 or 11pm. I understand for safety they shut it down at night,...
