They had vacant rooms but the best deal they would give us was $227.00 for 1 night stay. For the facilities this is expensive. Room was good and clean but we arrived at 8.pm that evening and checked out in the morning so didn't get chance to use any other facilities. The breakfast was very basic but complimentary. We had...

Arrived for the weekend and received a small floor level room. The room was clean but like I mentioned, very simple. A bed, TV, table and a bathroom. It was perfect for just putting your stuff down and going to bed at night. The pool is cute and was well kept. Breakfast was OK but nothing special. I'd recommend as... More

We had a lovely time here. The location was brilliant, you could walk to the harbour pier and beach, it was a little further to walk to the shops. The staff were helpful. Our room was comfortable and clean, I thought it might be noisy but it was very quite and we all slept well. The pool was clean and... More

This hotel is located in a great spot in Santa Barbara. Very very good location. It is set up motel style with the doors opening to the outside but overall not too big of a deal although we had a balcony. The room we had overlooked the park and had plenty of room. The beds were also very very comfortable,... More

Decent room in a terrific location. Walking distance to beach, pier, State Street. Not too noisy. Room had recently been updated. Nice beachy colors. Ask for quiet room. Had balcony and view of park. Good value in pricey locale

We stayed at this hotel in March 2013 during a California road trip. It was exactly what I expected. PROS: 1. Location is very good in front of the water. You are on the main road and walking distance to the pier and a few restaurants. However you are not walking distance to the downtown area. If you wanted to... More

This was a very nice Best Western. The location is key. It's right across the street from the beach, a short walk from the pier, across the street from a park, and a quick stroll from downtown. It's also not far from the 101. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and the shower was nice. The staff was... More

The hotel is very good, simple, but everything runs alright. Personnel very polite and nice. The manager, Mr. Robbins is fantastic, attentive and very nice with guests. For my purpose of staying two nights in Santa Barbara the hotel was perfect.

We stayed one night on our way north from Los Angeles. This is a very nice property. Great location across the street from the harbor and a nice city park across the street on the other side. Last time I passed through, I wanted to stay here, but I couldn't because it was an October weekend and they wanted two... More
