Room was on the older side, bed was comfortable, bathroom clean (the shower was fantastic! Powerful and warm!). Very much an no frills motel experience. No complaints although the TV didn’t work (internet connection issues) but I also didn’t ask for a repair.

The Sandpiper lodge offered a nice stay. The property was quiet, well maintained and offered a great value. Ideally located, only minutes away from all Santa Barbara has to offer.
