We had to make an emergency trip back to the States after my husband was tripped, fell hard and broke his elbow in Rome, Italy. His surgery was scheduled at a surgical center adjacent to Cottage Hospital, and the specialist's staff told us that the Best Western a block away gave a medical discount. When we checked in the kind... More

Greetings 310OGBear, I am terribly sorry to hear about the malfunctioning air-conditioner in your guestroom. Unfortunately because the malfunction occurred later in the evening, we were unable to thoroughly repair the unit as it may have disturbed other guests. I apologize for not immediately following up on the issue and I am truly sorry that it affected an otherwise enjoyable... More

This is a nicely maintained hotel located on Bath Street, in a residential area of Santa Barbara, away from commercial traffic. Flowers, landscaping, vines, beautiful stone work, beamed ceilings and charming touches were reminiscent of an inn in the wine country. Room was spacious, immaculate, very comfortable, and quiet. There was a great bed and luxury bedding. Each day there... More

Not on the ocean but only a couple of blocks from the main drag (State St). Great room, very comfortable bed, good restaurant, good parking in a town where parking is difficult. The only downside was that conversations in the jacuzzi and other open areas were easily heard from the room.
