"the rooms were huge and very clean. very convieant for the pool and parking"

Best Western Plus Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk was very helpful with our request in an early check in and surprised us with an upgrade which was much appreciated! The suite was a nice size two double beds in one room and a full size bed in the other. Living space and kitchen was also an added bonus! The deco was a bit outdated but the suite was very clean."
