    We really enjoyed our stay!

    We had a wonderful time in Santa Barbara and the hotel was a great part of it. The children loved the birds and the pool and so it was also relaxing for us parents.

    It is noisy - you hear neighbours from upstairs and sides, you hear their air-conditioning unit. The windows are not soundproof, in fact, they have holes for ventilation. So you hear every car passing by on the road behind the hotel. And the hotel equipment and furniture is like 50 years old .

    Spacious apartments, clean, free parking.

    Nothwithstanding the breakfast was included in our booking.com reservation, the hotel only provided us with 2 vouchers (we are 5), saying this was in line with their promotion. We asked to talk to the director but no one has come to us. Location not super good. Big comfortable rooms. Restaurant average.

    I had an early morning noisy neighbor upstairs - can't be sure whether this was due to the person (for which the hotel cannot be blamed), or that the floors are not sound proofed well. I would stay here again, but would opt for an upstairs room,

    Friendly efficient staff, clean room, and a great location. Very walkable to Downtown, but not too busy.

    Great stop in Santa Barbara - quiet and comfortable
    • Leisure trip

    • Queen Room - Non Smoking
    • Stayed 1 night

    Just a little bit too expensive for what's on offer, having stayed in similarly-equipped establishments around California during the same period, but I guess that's part of the nature of reserving accommodation. There's a slight gap at the bottom of the bedroom door that was large enough to make it so that the cold air (on the night we were there) overpowered the best efforts of the heating/AC unit in the room - basically we had it on full heating, but it never managed to get warm enough. The location, while nice and quiet, and definitely in Santa Barbara, is far enough from the beach or center of the city that you do need a car, but Best Western does offer other (albeit comparatively more expensive) locations in the city to cater for this.

    Hotel in a quiet location with parking in front of the rooms, a pool, and even a small independent café in the parking lot. Very clean and comfortable rooms, with a nice bed, bathroom and television - equipped with a fridge and bottles of water and biscuits on arrival next to the coffee machine.

    Nice pool area, room clean and modern, comfy bet, good location, tasty restaurant on site with good breakfast. Room rates were low as I was visiting mid-week in early Spring (weekend rates were at least double, which would have been quite pricey -and this is a relatively basic hotel.). Location is good, beautiful hilly residential area next to downtown SB (next to Cottage Hospital precisely).

    The beds in our double bed room were full size and we found that to be a little small - and the mattresses weren't that great.

    Everything was absolutely perfect! Cutest hotel with a great restaurant and pool! The food at the restaurant was amazing and the staff at restaurant and hotel were the best! We had to walk about two miles each way to get to State Street. The pier is located at the bottom of State Street so an extra mile, but you are walking along shops and restaurants. It was a nice walk for us but if you are not typically active it may be too far. Other than one or two other hotels it's the closest location to State Street. All was great and our family of four had an amazing 3-day trip to Santa Barbara!!

    The first day I arrived I was exhausted, and at night I phoned to request a toothbrush. They wouldn’t deliver it to my room, I had to go down and get it. Also, the room cleaning takes place very late in the afternoon, not at a convenient time. Otherwise I was very happy with the stay.

    The pool and jacuzzi are great, very clean and pleasant area. The bed was very comfortable.

    This place was fantastic! We were given a room by the pool, which had a small patio where we could get coffee in the morning. Beds were extra comfortable, and the place is so quiet we felt so rested in the morning! While the location is a bit outside the center, we easily reached downtown with the bus on the first day, and then just by walking about 30 minutes on the second day. Would definitely stay here again!
