The staff was very friendly. It's a bit outdated, but still clean and reasonably priced.

Amazing Stay! Forgot it was a Best Western!

Pros: Felt really cozy and comfortable. Staff was so nice! Rooms very clean.
Cons: Maybe Decor updated a bit, but def not a big deal - would come back regardless.
The hotel was so quaint and the staff were so friendly and helpful, it didn't feel like we were staying in a Best Western, but more a unique, cozy Inn! Rooms were a bit dated, but very clean and comfortable. Was great having a restaurant onsite too! Good food and very reasonable prices. Being walking distance to downtown Santa Barbara was so nice too! No need to drive or take a Lyft. Next time we come back to Santa Barbara we will definitely stay here!

Best Western chain

Did not stay here as Travelocity did not want to reduce the price when found it lower. Too expensive and not in the part of town I wanted to stay in. I am sure the hotel is fine but not my favorite in this area as have stayed here before.
