The Spotlight on Brisas Del Mar Inn at the Beach

Relaxed Santa Barbara Charm Just Steps from the Music

Brisas Del Mar Inn at the Beach is a cozy, Mediterranean-style hotel just two blocks from the Santa Barbara waterfront. With its bubbling fountain, palm-lined courtyard, and laid-back coastal vibe, this inn is perfect for travelers seeking comfort and convenience. Located near Santa Barbara City College and Pershing Park, it’s an easy stroll to both the beach and downtown entertainment spots.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just minutes from Santa Barbara’s top music venues—no need for long rideshares after a show. The hotel’s quiet, residential setting provides a peaceful retreat after a night out. Complimentary bike rentals make it easy to explore the area, and the flexible 3:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before heading to a show. With free WiFi and cozy in-room amenities like bathrobes and coffee makers, you'll feel right at home.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for beachside fun and music-filled nights
Solo travelers chasing unforgettable performances
Couples planning a romantic weekend with a concert twist
Fans who want a quiet spot to recharge after the encore
Budget-conscious music lovers who still want thoughtful perks

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers an expanded continental breakfast—perfect after a late night. You’re also within walking distance of Santa Barbara’s buzzing restaurant scene. Grab a late-night bite at local taco spots or seafood joints near the harbor. Though there’s no 24/7 room service, the in-room fridge and coffee maker keep you fueled between shows.

Nightlife Options

Santa Barbara’s bars and lounges are just a short walk or bike ride away. Whether you're into rooftop cocktails, laid-back wine bars, or beachside brews, you’ll find plenty of post-show hangouts nearby. While Brisas Del Mar doesn’t have a bar on-site, its location near the harbor puts you close to the action without the noise.

What People Say

Guests love the warm, friendly staff, the free wine and cheese receptions, and how clean and quiet the property feels. Many reviewers appreciate the easy beach access and the homey, comfortable rooms. The complimentary bikes and DVDs are also a hit with those looking for fun, no-cost extras.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the decor feels a bit dated, and that parking can be tight during busy weekends. But with so much charm and value packed in, most find these to be small trade-offs.

The Bottom Line

Brisas Del Mar Inn at the Beach is a charming, low-key home base for concert-goers who want beach access, walkability, and a peaceful night’s sleep after the show.

Perfect place for a lovely...

Liked: The Brisas Del Mar is a wonderful little motel. Price was definitely competitive. The grounds are neat, clean and very pretty. The continental breakfast also had little “egg bites” so with that and a bagel and fruit, we were filled up. Saved us time and money. Front desk was very friendly and accommodating. Room was pretty spacious. It was nice to have a heated jacuzzi along with the pool. Not very far from the beach and State St. We could walk to dinner. Great stay!

I would not stay there...

Disliked: Breakfast was a small step up from Holiday Inn Express, furniture looked chipped and dated, the bathroom was not nice. This is really a motel, not a bed and breakfast.

Great place for a stopover...

Liked: Good location, very well presented accommodation, and very helpful staff.
Disliked: Even though there were many good points, we felt that the cost per night was a little excessive for what was provided, in our experience.

Great location, clean and friendly!

Liked: Great location, friendly and helpful staff. It is right next to a gas station which our room was overlooking and was a bit noisy. Our room was upgraded and absolutely huge, unnecessary for our trip but a welcome surprise. Close to shopping , dining and the beach, all within walking distance and in a great neighborhood. There are no elevators on this property but it is only 2 stories. Furniture is a bit dated but everything is clean. Continental breakfast was also nice surprise. I would consider staying here again.
