“Nice & cheap”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

When you arrive at the front desk, you will be welcome with tasty cookies. The rooms are very cozy and we were surprised by the excellent complimentary breakfast offered in the morning: bread and toast, pancakes, waffles, omelette... On the same street, one can find lots of good restaurants and fast food.
It is easy to get there as it is next to the 101 freeway but you won't be disturb by the freeway traffic.
It is a good place to stay at if you want to visit Santa Barbara as it is about 10 minutes away.

“Nice Place To Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

I just stayed here for 4 nights and was satisfied with the accomodations. They are in the process of refurbishing the hotel and there was a notice in the room about possible construction noise during the daytime hours but I never noticed anything that was distracting. The room is a typical Best Western. It was very clean and quiet. If you get a room that faces the front you may be subjected to highway noise but in the back it wasn't too noticable. The bed was very comfortable! The breakfast is included and was ok - they could add some items and it would be very good. They had pre-packaged waffles instead of make your own like many other hotels have. The staff was very nice and accomodating. Check in and out was very efficient and quick. I would stay here again.

Room Tip: Ask for a room facing away from the highway

Dear Guest,
We are very glad that you chose us to spend your holidays with! We are grateful for the review and are glad that you had a chance to enjoy our great amenities, such as the large breakfast. The automatic doors are our way of accommodating those who are unable to maneuver through smaller doors. Luckily we do have the fireplace and "den" area which is always warm and cozy to eat breakfast in! Again, thank you so much for coming and we hope to have you again soon. You will be happy upon your return to see our new doors and locks going in in February!

Thanks,

“Stellar Accommodations - Always!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

We have stayed here several times and are never disappointed! Rooms are clean, beds comfortable and breakfast is better than most complementary ones at other places! It's a bit out of the way but getting to Santa Barbara is no problem. The place is kept up very well and the amenities always are clean and in good working order. It's our go to place when we visit Santa Barbara!
