Okay, aber abgelegen
Alles soweit nett und sauber. Der Rezeptionsbereich wirkt aber kalt und unfreundlich. Hauptproblem ist die deutlich zu große Entfernung zur Innenstadt. Dafür ist es deutlich zu teuer.

This Best Western was the best one I have ever stayed at...and was more comparable to a 4 star hotel. Yes, it is still a motel, but the property AND rooms were immaculately clean and in good condition! The King room we stayed in was large and nicely appointed. The staff were friendly! We loved the jacuzzi and heated pool! Awesome place to stay for a lower price point in Santa Barbara!

Quick overnight in Santa Barbara
We stayed in a condo/townhouse on the end of the property. The patio was spacious. The downstairs was fine with a TV and a very nice long couch so we could all sit together. Kitchen was fine - we didn't cool but there seemed to be a cookware items available. The downstairs bath is a half bath. The stairs are super steep and narrow. Not suitable if you have anyone with mobility issues at all. Bedrooms were fine. Bathroom was fine. Overall the place was a bit worn and a little musty smelling. Service at the front desk was nice but they were under construction so it was hard to find the entrance. The restaurant on site is roomy and breakfast was yummy. There were 5 of us staying so overall a decent value.
