Affordable hotel in Santa Monica and in Santa Barbara

Help,

We like to find a hotel (early august) in a.m. places. SB will be
on a saturday night.

In Santa Monica we like to be close to the beach,
but even the travelodge will cost us $ 180 including parking and tax.


Any suggestions??

In Santa Barbara I am not able to find anything for
just one night.

Price line is no option for us as we are travelling
with two kids.

So your help is needed.

Thanks in advance all of
you.......

Wendy and family

Why does the fact that you're with two kids remove priceline from
consideration? Expecting to find a hotel near the southern California
beach in August for under $100 is unrealistic.
