We were so impressed by how well-run this property is — clean, comfortable, and with an incredibly polite, attentive staff who clearly care about the guest experience. Our room on the second floor had a lovely ocean view and a fun retro décor that added so much character. It was also super functional, with everything you could possibly need while away from home. The bed? Amazing. One of the most comfortable we’ve slept in. The little touches made a big difference — fresh, white towels, nice-smelling Dove toiletries, and even complimentary coffee in the lobby. There's also an ice machine and a cozy pool to relax by after a day out. Free parking. Location-wise, it’s perfect: just a short walk to the beach and a great base for exploring the charming Santa Barbara. If the name “Motel 6” gives you pause — don’t let it. This place breaks all the Motel 6 stereotypes. It’ was fantastic stay! 👌

As hoteliers/restaurateurs, we have a different and sometimes stricter perspective than others. I can only congratulate the hotelier here. We had room 320 and were completely satisfied. What a great room and the service was always unobtrusively nice and courteous. We have traveled halfway around the world but rarely have we stayed in such a great hotel. Congratulations! As there was not a hair in the soup to be found, we can wholeheartedly give a full score here...🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

The Waterman is well situated for the waterside and downtown. It's easy to walk to the beach, the wharf, the Presidio, and the Los Banos pool (a lovely outdoor pool). The hotel room was fine but no more than fine. It did have lots of hooks to hang coats from though... Breakfast facilities were minimal, but there was plenty of availability of free coffee and tea. We didn't see any guests using the cooker hob - slightly weird in a hotel, but if you fancied scrambling some eggs then the equipment was there. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. OK for a one night stay.
