We chose this hotel based on reviews here, the price, and our prior good experiences with Best Western properties. The good: breakfast choices, the grounds, 2 queen beds instead of doubles, the price. The not-so-good: room temperature. We could never find the happy medium between stuffy and warm and dry, noisy and cool. The air is operated by a unit... More

I was thinking that this would be just another stay at an ordinary hotel, but to my surprise, it greatly exceeded my expectations. For the price, it was very nice. The staff was so helpful and could not have been kinder. The complimentry breakfast consisted of waffles, muffins, yogurt, coffee, cereal, orange juice, etc. There was so much variety. The... More

I stayed here with my family over the weekend and had a very nice stay. The staff quickly brought a crib for my 1 year old when I requested one. The room was not large, but clean and had a microwave, which was convenient. There was plenty of parking. The free hot breakfast was very convenient and the coffee machine... More

We stayed there while visiting Santa Barbara for a weekend wedding. We found the area lodging rather expensive but this place was reasonable. The rooms were very clean. The staff was friendly. The beds were very comfortable. The grounds are very well kept. The landscaping is exceptional. We even found some of the bushes shaped like animals - something you... More

Rooms are nice with up to date tv/dvd to enjoy your time in. Small fridge, but large enough to keep food cold for the luchbox. Microwave small too. Nice cup coffee makers that shut off on their own after brewing. Extremely clean with good room service. Beds in my room though a little soft and uncomfortable and my collegues had... More

We stayed here on the last night of our 2 week tour of the west coast. The hotel is lovely, the rooms are clean and the grounds are well tended. After a long journey we were disappointed to find there was no restaurant on site. The receptionist suggested a bar a few blocks away but when we got there it... More

This might be the best Best Western in which I have ever stayed. Several elderly fraternity brothers and spouses descended on this place in late April 2012. Imaculate grounds, friendly staff, just a first class experience.

The grounds and pool are just stunning. It is, by any standard I know, a fine hotel. . But, the least expensive rooms are pretty small. I had a single out back and I wouldn't have liked it much smaller. That in mind, you'll love it.
