1. The Blue Sands has a good rate compared to other properties by the beach, and I did look around.

2. Being a native of Santa Barbara and coming back to visit frequently, it was nice to stay in a quaint hotel that will allow pets and the rate was excellent for what we got.

3. Our rate was too good to be true ($117, total) and the location was perfect (half a block to the beach, a mile to the main strip of shops, restaurants, and the pier).

4. not if it's freezing cold) and I understand that with the winter rates maybe it's not cost effective.

"Lots to recommend but a couple drawbacks. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/14/2011 Vote

5. All in all we would stay here again in the winter but I don't think I would pay the summer rates.

7. I know it is totally unfair to compare the BSM with the hotel across the way (2-3 times the price), however the Santa Barbara Inn right next door, which has a lobby and a cleaner appearing 'compound' had competitive room rates (I checked into this the morning after my first night at the BSM).
