Beachfront Motel Santa Barbara
BOOK Ala Mar By The Sea Santa Barbara Rooms
Rooms here are as unfussy as the beachfront setting—simple, sunlit, and just close enough to hear the waves roll in.
The rooms at Ala Mar by the Sea lean simple and functional—nothing flashy, just clean, no-frills spaces a few strides from the sand. Some offer ocean or mountain views, others a peek at the courtyard or parking lot. While the decor may feel dated, many travelers trade aesthetics for location—and that’s where this place delivers. Think beach gear drying in the sun, windows cracked open to catch the breeze, and an easy walk back from dinner on the pier.
All rooms come with cable TV, Wi‑Fi, and ceiling or standing fans. Most include mini-fridges and microwaves, helpful for leftovers and beach snacks. Bathrooms are compact but stocked with essentials. If the goal is proximity to the Pacific without the price tag, these rooms keep it simple and steps from the action.

Location is exceptional. Staff was lovely. They were friendly to speak with and helpful.
I picked the hotel because of the location. The hotel was dirty, no smoke detectors. The first room I had the sliding door didnt lock and they knew the lock was broken. The bed springs were poking my back
Nothing at all
Location excellent, breakfast was good and rooms clean.
We liked the free breakfast
Great location and a balcony to sit and look at the ocean. The place was quiet and other guests were respectful.
The location was fabulous and so was the staff. The morning continental breakfast was very good, if you got there early. The refrigerator worked very well and so did the large screen TV and floor fan. There were lots of TV channels. The beds were big. There was soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion.
