“West Beach's split”
West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel is a lovely beachy stay for most — an upscale motel literally steps from the ocean in Santa Barbara, free parking that matters in a motel town, a heated pool and warm spa, spacious spotless rooms and suites with a beachy vibe, above-and-beyond friendly efficient staff, a nice wine-and-cheese happy hour, a continental breakfast of fruit, cereal and fresh juice, easy walks to the beach, pier, downtown, shops and the Saturday farmers' market, marina views, and a free upgrade to a sea-view family room for one guest. Caveats though: a severe report describes a strong sewer odor in one room and air-conditioner condensation flooding the balcony into a slippery dangerous puddle.
