Best Western Plus Santa Barbara

We stayed from 19th -21st September. We were a little early arriving and luckily our room was ready the room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was also clean with good facilities. We also had a small balcony to sit out on. Wifi worked great. Used the laundry facilities whilst there which were also good, note that you need quarters for the washer and dryer. We didn’t use the pool or hot tub. Restaurant next door was great. Coffee/tea available whilst reception is open.

Wonderfully spacious apartment for a couple with two kids. Loved that it had a full kitchen with a gas stove and huge fridge. Bedrooms, beds were comfortable and we appreciated that the AC was running in all rooms and it was cool as soon as we walked in for the first time - thank you for that prep, hotel staff. We used the pool, and also ate at the cafe - both were nice. Also, a special thank you to Helen the assistant manager and Hector, who were very kind about letting us check in 2 hours prior to the scheduled check in time, because we had gotten in early, and they had the room ready.

Unlike most Santa Barbara hotels, this is in the middle of a local neighborhood, popular among nurses and other hospital employees as its near the hospital in Santa Barbara. My husband and I had three friends visiting during the few weeks between homes, so we hadn't anywhere to put us all up. Here we rented a two bedroom townhouse, with 1 and a half baths. My husband and I took the king room, gave the other room to our female friend and let the two guys sleep on the pull -out couch. Each bed and the couch had a television to watch, and got several HBO and showtime or max paystations. We had a full size kitchen, fully outfitted, and a nice full size patio, with several chairs and a table, fenced for complete privacy. It was ideal for our situation. Spotless. While we didn't use the pool or jacuzzi, they certainly were popular. I did have some laundry and I used the coin machines they have for guests. To wash it was only $1.25 and to dry was just $1. There is a little restaurant on the premises that has an enormous aviary, which is fun to watch if the conversation lags. It certainly met all of our needs. The staff was friendly and helpful, which is always nice.

Hands down one of the best hotel stays I’ve had in a long time. All of the staff were amazing! The front desk staff helped us navigate how to arrange for the shuttle, gave great tips about the area including which places were safe to walk at night, even drawing out on a map places they recommended visiting. Shuttle drivers are awesome getting us to and from airport even as we juggled with cancelled flights and flooding. They were all so friendly and genuinely caring. Room was comfortable, spacious and clean. Very quiet stay. Enjoyed the variety of coffee available and the perk of being able to make a complimentary hot oatmeal or grab an apple or orange if wanted to gab something quick instead of go and eat a sit down breakfast in the restaurant.

Everything was absolutely perfect! Cutest hotel with a great restaurant and pool! The food at the restaurant was amazing and the staff at restaurant and hotel were the best! We had to walk about two miles each way to get to State Street. The pier is located at the bottom of State Street so an extra mile, but you are walking along shops and restaurants. It was a nice walk for us but if you are not typically active it may be too far. Other than one or two other hotels it's the closest location to State Street. All was great and our family of four had an amazing 3-day trip to Santa Barbara!!
