We were on a 6 day trip trough California and Nevada. This was our first night. The location is too far away from the actual downtown. At least 10 min drive from the center of downtown. The check in was nice and friendly. The room was not very spacious, the bathroom very tiny and even in a 3 star rated... more

This hotel is not in downtown but a reasonably short taxi journey away. There are also a few bars and restaurants nearby. The bed was very comfortable, the only complaint would be that the decor was a bit dated. Apart from this the hotel had every amenity that you needed. The hotel restaurant does nice muffins and coffee in the... more

difficult to access town centre if you don't want to drive! surprised at how many homeless people around the towncentre during the day! Hotel is one of the furthest away from restaurants, coastal front ! Staff friendly, bedrooms dated but clean, Nice touch with water and fruit in room, complimentary coffee served in reception with fresh fruit also. Quite noisy,... more

Although the hotel is on State Street, it's at least three miles from the downtown shopping and restaurant complex so popular with visitors. The staff were friendly but understaffed. The workout center is a joke--old equipment in a dingy converted room near the hotel's laundry area. The room we had was of average size, but my wife got a sore... more

This hotel is a twenty minute drive from the main tourist area of Lower State Street - where most of the restaurants, shops and other tourist attractions are. The location is acceptable if you have a car and it is easily accessible from US 101. It is opposite La Cumbre Plaza where there are a small amount of shops and... more

I was a little surprised to walk into our room at the best western and see that it looked like my grandmothers bedroom. They could use a major renovation at this place to bring it up to the year 2009. The front desk was pleasant and knowledgeable, the rooms were clean and they had a great pool and hot tub... more

I read the positive reviews of this hotel and decided it was worth paying a premium on the Fourth of July weekend to stay here. We checked in to find a very dated room but we it seemed clean so we didn't think twice. We tried to watch a DVD in our room only to find that our movie kept... more

For a three star hotel you couldn't ask for more, it has a nice swimming pool with hot tub and is situated directly across from an outdoor shopping centre with restaurants. The only downfall is that it is situated a little too far outside the main high street in Santa Barbara, therefore you would need a car or to travel... more

I was really worried about staying here as it was the cheapest place we had for the fly drive holiday we were doing and the only place available in Santa Barbara when we were there but it was great. Big rooms, very clean and comfortable. It was better than a lot of the other more expensive hotels we stayed in.... more
