Brisas del Mar

Santa Barbara


Kudos for all the freebies (DVDs, continental breakfast, afternoon wine and cheese, evening milk and cookies), the newer Mediterranean-style front section and the helpful staff. The outdoor pool and mountain-view sun decks are great for winding down after a day of sightseeing. It's on a noisy street three blocks north of the beach, so ask for a room in the back.
