“Top Marks!”

Sep 19, 2025Jillybean4707

We have stayed at 13 Hotels on this holiday to the USA and this comes out top for value for money. The location was great and we liked Santa Barbara too. It was clean and fresh. A lovely spacious room with everything we needed in it. The staff in reception were also really friendly and helpful! We had access to a lovely well kept swimming pool too. Top marks all around!

“Post op Recovery”

Sep 16, 2025romes972

When the clinic staff recommended the Best Western for post-surgery recovery, my wife and I were hesitant. Turns out we had no reason to be this hotel was exactly what we needed. It is all that and a bag of chips! The room was top notch: quiet, comfortable, and perfect for recovery. But what really stood out was the staff. • Jesus was the first to help us, making sure we had a lower-level room since my wife couldn’t do stairs. The man is a silent assassin behind the keyboard, working magic with the focus and skill of a hacker. Be kind to him; his skills are unmatched. • Helen was incredible. When my wife had some post-op complications, I called to extend our stay. She didn’t just brush me off, SHE LISTENED. After hearing me out, she asked if she could call back, and within 10 minutes she had secured us another night. Later, when I came down to rekey our card, she asked how my wife was doing and genuinely wished her well. Those words may seem small, but when you’re stressed and worried, they mean everything to your mental health. • Catherine was just as sweet and welcoming. And though I’m kicking myself for forgetting another team member’s name, trust me when I say the front desk is full of all-stars. You’re not just a customer here, you’re a guest in their home. We ended up needing yet another night, and once again Jesus worked his keyboard magic to make it happen. Truly, my wife wouldn’t be this far along in her recovery without this team’s care and the comfort of this hotel. Added bonuses: • The Live Oak Café is phenomenal. You can skip the DoorDash and eat here. Save room for dessert! • The bird sanctuary is peaceful and fun to watch. Nature therapy right outside your door! Overall? 10/10. The staff, the food, the room, the vibe! Everything was exactly what we needed. We are so grateful.

“Bad location bad service.”

Sep 13, 2025Ron C

The staff at this location is lifeless, i dont remember even being greeted on arrival. This location is a few miles from the beach in the middle of a residential neighborhood. I didn't get much sleep because it sounded as if I was sleeping right off the highway and we could here people when they were talking in the parking lot. The only positive I could say about the location is that it was at least clean.
