For example, are you traveling to Santa Barbara for business or pleasure? Visiting friends or family there? Simply want to soak up the sights and attractions?

Does Alamar by the Sea Motel have a pool?
An indoor pool or outdoor pool (or even super swanky rooftop pool) might or might not be important to you, depending on how you’re planning to spend your time in Santa Barbara and who you’re traveling with.
For example, if you’re traveling by yourself on business, it might not be important at all, but if you’re traveling to Santa Barbara with friends, family, or children, and you think you’d enjoy relaxing by the pool at ABTSMISB, it might be an important consideration whether there is an indoor or outdoor swimming pool, whether it’s heated or not and has a pool bar or not, and so on.
If a pool is very important for your stay, THG recommends that you do a specific search for the best deals on Santa Barbara hotels with pools.
Does Alamar by the Sea Motel have a steam bath, sauna, hot tub, spa, or spa tub?
