The Inn at East Beach is a surprising budget find just steps away from, well, East Beach. This hip motel has a retro flare with amenities unusual for its price bracket. For example, if you're headed to the beach, stop at the front desk to pick up towels, umbrellas and even boogie boards. There are guest laundry facilities on site and, of course, a warm pool if you feel that the beach is just too far away (it's about a 3 minute walk from the inn, FYI). A continental breakfast is free for every guest, but don't try to sneak anyone in; Frank, the legendary general manager, greets every party upon arrival and is quick to shoo outsiders away. Frank also loves to give advice about his beloved city, so if you have any questions during your stay in Santa Barbara, just ask Frank!
