The suites were quite spacious & enjoyed having living room separate from bedroom.Kitchen was fully equipped so saved on some meals. Nice pool & patios. WiFi conductivity was poor at times so streaming & internet use could be difficult. Significant noise transfer from people upstairs when walking around or playing music as building style is older wood construction. Neighborhood is quiet & it is located within few miles of beach & other food/attractions. Parking good if not arriving too late in evening. Housekeeping only upon request. Bed was comfortable & unit clean overall but several stains on carpets that had not been attended to. Overall good, relatively inexpensive place to stay in Santa Barbara.

Only issue is the rooms are pricey, but it's Santa Barbara, so it's to be expected. Big upside is the onsite restaurant. While we didn't eat there, the prices are beyond reasonable. We would've gotten the kids the $4 grilled cheese if they had been open past 2pm on Sunday.

I was very happy with my stay. The room was clean, updated, and comfortable. The parking was a bit tight, but I was always able to find a spot. The location is fine, not very walkable, but super easy drive to the downtown area and only 5 mins to the old mission. I would stay here again.

The hotel is an excellent value in its accommodation category, giving a comfortable but not luxurious experience for a very reasonable price. The restaurant on the property is an asset also. The staff went out of their way to accomodate a special request for us. My only disappointment was the fitness room that was below-par even for budget hotels.

We had an amazing stay the Best Western Plus. The front-desk staff were very friendly and helpful in every respect. Our room was spacious and clean, with a great AC system and great extras (safe, microwave, mini fridge, robes, anti-fog mirror in the bathroom). The property includes a zebra-finch aviary (cool!), a pool, and a hot tub. The Live Oak Restaurant on the hotel property has excellent selection, amazingly fast service, and very reasonable prices for the food quality. The hotel location is a nice quiet area, a bit too far to walk to downtown Santa Barbara but a short drive or Uber away. We would happily stay here again.

The vibe/decor is different from most chain hotels and looks more interesting, especially with the onsite restaurant and bird sanctuary. The bathroom dispenser didn't dispense very smoothly.
