Parking a bit tight, limited and congested. All in all, great value. A bit dated furniture - wear on some. Seemed very clean from what I could tell in my one night stay.

The Sandpiper Lodge exceeded my expectations. The rooms are big and clean and comfortable and it was quieter than I would've thought, considering it was fully booked. Sean the manager was a true gentleman and he gave me many tips and helped me out by booking other nights I had not considered. It's within walking distance of many convenient places, and the bus stop is pratically in front.

Not worth thw price.

Not worth the over $200 i paid per night. I know it was UCSB move in weekend, but still too expensive for what I received. The breakfast was disappointing. The receptionist I had at check in was very rude. Everyone else was nice. Housekeeping didnt speak Engliah, so it was hard to get what I needed. It is a nice kept hotel, but i womt stay again.

EXTREMLY overpriced for what you get. My husband uses a CPAP machine and we brought it with us so he could sleep. When we tried to find a plug there was only one close and it was behind the bed which meant we had to move the bed and unplug one of the lamps so I had no light by my side of the bed. The bed was comfortable so that was a saving grace. I doubt I would stay there again

Nothing like the photos. Dingy. Gym had two old machines. Room looked like a motel from the 1800s. I didn't feel unsafe until I stepped foot on this property. People hanging outside their rooms, smoking weed. Literally everyone looked like a crackhead. Also..they didn't even have laundry service. What hotel doesn't have laundry service? Do yourself a favor and DONT spend a penny here!! not worth a dime!!!!
