Great property for a night before and early flight (or anytime really). Front desk staff was AMAZING. Room modern with tile floors, no carpet, platform bed so no dust or junk underneath. I love when sink is outside of bathroom so one person can shower, and one person get ready. Shower was new and clean. Pool area also well maintained and clean. Would definitely stay again.

I'll Stay Again
The hotel was very nice and as expected. The room was clean and tidy. The front desk attendant was very nice. Only minor issue is the door lock was quirky. But I am sure that is an easy fix. The location is very close to many services. Overall, I would definitely stay there again. A good value, particularly for Santa Barbara.

Clean and nice hotel . Good parking . Nice area. But my check in was not pleasant. Not enough information about property and amenities provided. Front desk staff need more training. It felt like we were interrupting them. Another problem was the room temperature. The door was not sealed so the cold air was blowing in to the room and the air conditioning system wasn’t able to warm the room .

UCSB visit
Best Westerns in general are nice. This was very resort like. The people were very nice. Having free breakfast is great when you need something in a hurry and you don't really no the area. It's centrally located between downtown and UCSB where we were visiting. The rooms are a decent size. The beds and pillows were fantastic. I know that seems odd but nothing like a comfy bed when your traveling.
