Great value and location
Great stay at this lovely establishment with the right price to quality ratio. It was just shy of of a 5 star rating because the gym doesn’t open until 9 am, which is very late and therefore was unable to get in a morning run before continuing our road trip. We got a renovated room so everything looked clean and modern. The hotel is a short 8 min drive from downtown, which is very convenient.

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!
