Guests say
Guests generally appreciated the hotel's location, noting its convenience and proximity to various attractions which made their stay enjoyable. Many reviews highlighted the friendly and helpful service from the front desk staff, with compliments on their willingness to assist with early check-ins and restaurant recommendations. However, significant concerns were raised about the cleanliness of the rooms, with multiple guests reporting issues such as dirty floors, unmade beds, and inadequate bathroom cleanliness. Overall, while the service and location received praise, cleanliness was a major drawback for many guests.AI-generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) Older but nice room. Comfy bed. Huge shower. Easy access to yummy restaurants. Other travelers there very nice and international. Loved the continental breakfast that was included with our stay. The cheese omelets so yummy on the croissants, made it more than the usual continental and really hit the spot. Checking in and out quick, easy and very efficient, friendly.
Cons (-) Carpets a little worn out. Smoke alarm battery decided to chirp in the middle of the night. Needed replacing. TV wasn’t working when we 1st got there but was fixed in no time.
Pros (+) Not much
Cons (-) Floors had stains all over. Furniture was shabby. And the smell was horrible.
Pros (+) This was the second time we have stayed at the Sandpiper. It is clean, convent to venues in the area and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We would stay there again if we were in the area.
Pros (+) Nice place to stay. Clean,comfortable,convenient, and nice staff. The breakfast was good, not just rolls and coffee. It was the same all 3 mornings and it would be nice to have had different choices.
Cons (-) I called to check on my reservation and they said they could not find one. When I arrived, they still were not able to find it, even with my confirmation number. They did get a room for us and it was an upgrade since they did not have the room I reserved. It did cost a little more.
Pros (+) Bed was fine. Breakfast was fine. Breakfast consisted of heated cheese omelettes folded into the shape of tacos. They also offered slices of bread, bagels, croissants and English muffins. They had conventional pull down toasters and conveyor belt toasters. They also had small refrigerated yoplait yogurt containers as well along with fresh apples and bananas. The room had Cox cable TV. Had a pretty...
Cons (-) The Wi-Fi was slow at times because the wildfires that were happening, which knocked out some of the communication lines at times. Is a newer generation of people start using hotels, cable TV should start being a lemonade it since it is a waste of money it makes you watch ads. It would be better for all hotels including sandpiper lodge to invest in faster Wi-Fi and ethernet instead.

Pros (+) Room was cozy and coffee kuerig machine. Decent breakfast.
Cons (-) Walls are thin and our neighboring guests were very loud till middle of the night.
Pros (+) BED
Cons (-) THE BREAKFAST
Pros (+) Location. Front desk staff was very helpful!
Cons (-) WiFi signal was spotty in our room.
Pros (+) Everything was fine. No complaints -- but nothing was special about this place. We arrived late and left early so we were just looking for a place to sleep. The rooms were convenient, clean and comfortable. this was one of the few places in its price range that had a pool, free breakfast and Queen (as opposed to double) beds.
Cons (-) $200 a night for what was basically a Motel 6 seemed pricey to me -- even for Santa Barbara. The breakfast was a little skimpy: I would have like bacon or sausage to accompany the scrambled eggs and typically a Danish or sweet roll is included. The conveyor machine wasn't working so the entire breakfast room had to wait to use the toaster.
Pros (+) The breakfast in the morning was great.
Cons (-) This is not a 3 star hotel. I would say it's 2. It was really loud. Bedding was not soft. Old facilities.
