Default NE recommendations for an affordable hotel/motel in Santa Barbara by the beach?

Looking to stay at SB for a couple of days mid-week this week. NE recommendations? Reasonable price, with a nice view of the sea, beach, marina...

Should I drive there and rock up at the front desk and ask for a quote off those hotels since it's midweek and occupancy may be low for them?

Thanks in advance.

Default What is your idea of reasonable? Remember you are talking about SB.

If you can afford ~400 a night (mid week) the Four Seasons is awsome! Beautiful property, great rooms, right on the beach, great service!

Default yeah, u r right. it's SB, whadya expect... ;-) hmm, say ~ $120 /night .... (more)

Or, if it is cheaper in Pismo Beach (?) I'll pick that city as well.

Basically, I am looking for clever and affordable midweek strategy to get into a good deal on accomodation in that stretch of area.

Driving down tomorrow.

Thanks. :-)

Default Good luck...even motel 6 by the beach in S.B. runs like $109 a night!

But you can try it! During the week, it may be cheaper and not sold out. I was just there last weekend! Oh, Halloween!!! Good honest fun..

Default No prob, again if you can afford it my recomendation is Four Seasons, awsome place. Even if you

don't stay there, you can walk around the property. It's a resort style Hotel right on the beach.
