I stay at the Mason Beach Inn for one week every year and always get the same room. Rates are reasonable and location is good. I've always found my room and the halls clean, and I like the fact that my room is always made up early in the day. Pool and hot tub are fine. Wireless has generally been... More

The motel was charming from the outside and clean on the inside however, they need to upgrades the beds. All three of us agreed we slept lousy due to the uncomfortable beds. Other than that the continental breakfast was basic: danish, cereal, o.j. and coffee. The small lobby was overcrowded with breakfast eaters since it was a rainy morning. Plan... More

Our family had stayed the two previous nights at the West Beach Inn, just a block up and beachfront. We needed to find a place for the third night which we had not previously planned on staying (Santa Barbara is like that!) There are lots of small hotels in this neighborhood, and I'm afraid we chose the wrong one, though... More

We visit Santa Barbara at leat three times a year and have found this hotel to always fit the bill. The rooms are spacious (we always ask for the upstairs overlooking the pool) and the frontdesk personnel are always kind and helpful. The continental breakfast is always fresh and the pool area is always kept clean. Two blocks from the... More

We spent one night there after leaving another motel because it was loaded with ants. They accomodated us late at night and were very nice. The rooms were very clean and very attractive. They had a refrigerator and microwave and the bathrooms and carpet were clean. We hated to leave the next day and wish we would have checked in... More

We decided to take the train up from LA for the weekend for some much-needed R&R. The motel is maybe 3-4 blocks away from the train station and a nice walk through a residential neighborhood. The places we went to were all very close by - Sambo's, the pier, State Street and the arts & crafts fair along the water... More

First of all the walls are paper thin! We were on the top floor. It is an inside hallway. You can hear what each person is saying as they are tromping down the hall. To get in and out of the hall there is a door that slams each time a person goes in and out. The doors on the... More

This hotel has a great location and so starts off with a real advantage but misses so many opportunities to excel. The air conditioning in our room was very noisy and one of the 2 casement windows didn't work. Beds are average at best. The fence around the pool is sloppily maintained. The breakfast is completely mediocre: choice is limited... More

We stayed at the Mason Beach Inn from Aug 9-12, 2011. We chose this place due to the quiet area, central location, and within walking distance to just about everything. However, it’s a bit pricy for one bed. The bed was a standard king bed with awful pillows, refrigerator and microwave. The room was ok in size, clean, with a... More
