Amazing
GGuest UserWas here for 2 nights with my partner, and first time staying at a bnb. Was pleasantly surprised by how clean and conveniently located it was. It’s a short walk from state street, where all the good restaurants and retail shops are.
The breakfast was delicious and cooked with soul. The cookies were also a lovely treat. Highly recommend for a homey and enjoyable experience!

GGuest UserVery good, staying in the United States, the first time there was a waiter to help carry the luggage, breakfast, is cold food, end at ten o'clock on time. The surrounding environment is very good, we stayed for two nights, the hotel is quiet and clean, good.

GGarciaThe hotel itself is very different in the way it blends in with the neighborhood, pretty nice in style and not what I was expecting for a Best Western. The hotel isn’t too far from the city center but also not close enough (which is why I gave a 4), but it is very very nice. I also gave a 4 for amenities only because I wasn’t able to use them as it was less than 24 hour stay, and I wanted to experience the city more. Overall, I did like it, comfortable bed and pillows and I believe I could have slept much longer if I didn’t have an 11am check out 🤦🏽♂️🤣. But overall I was satisfied and the staff both office and cleaning were very kind and helpful. ❤️ Santa Barbara is a very beautiful city and BW gave the right price for my stay. 👍🏽

KKOBECHAN20This was the best hotel on our West Coast trip, even more comfortable than the 5-star hotel we stayed at in Las Vegas. We liked it so much we booked another hotel from the same chain later in Monterey. Parking was super convenient, right in front of our room, and it was free – plus they had breakfast! Where else can you find that? The scenery was beautiful, and it was incredibly kid-friendly. The pool was heated, though we didn't use it. There's also a self-service laundry room with dryers, but you need to download an app to top up and use them. Highly recommend booking a stay here!

AAnonymous UserI really didn't expect such a good inn. I'm very satisfied. It also has a rich breakfast, free coffee ☕️ and slippers are provided. It is similar to the Hanting Hotel in China, and the rooms are not as bad as the Hilton in Miami and Los Angeles. The location is good, right on the seaside, not far from the pier.

立地が最強です！
サンタバーバラ駅からこちらのホテルが見えるほど近いです。駅から徒歩2分ほどで到着します。
・ホテルの共用部に電子レンジや飲み物などが設置されており、無料でパンも提供されています。パンはとても美味しかったです。
・無料でお酒が一杯飲めます。ホテルの方が作ってくれます。
・ホテルもとてもおしゃれです！隅々まで凝らしてあるので、ホテルの内部にも目を向けてみると楽しいです。
【いまいちな点】
・お風呂 トイレとお風呂が近すぎ、かつ狭いです。かなり使いにくいので、要注意です。

Ddaffodio1In downtown, there is Gelson's supermarket opposite. Hotel facilities are a bit old, but the room is relatively large and partially renovated.

LLvtuzhongdetingliuRoom facilities are simple and like this style. There are great pools and bars in the public area. The hotel is located in the center of Barbara and is very convenient to walk to the main street. You need to drive to the beach and charge $30 a day for parking.

FFafa_Pretty good! This price is afraid of not being clean
The result was not expected to be super clean 😆
CP value is very high, although cheap, but completely worth the price
Hot water comes slower but the water pressure is enough
