4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2013 NEW

The simple perks that really matter,,,we found fruits, candies, cookies and bottled water in the room. At the front office, there's coffee, more fruits and ice cold lemon water. I loved that you can sit and relax outside your room which is overlooking the pool. I would give them a perfect score except the wifi was very weak.

My husband and I stayed one night here as we celebrated our 17th Wedding Anniversary. I found this hotel to be way better than a lot of Best Westerns, maybe that is why "Plus" is in the name. Our room had an apple and an orange, some Lorna Doone cookies, coffee, a couple bottles of Kirkland (Costco) water, and a... More

This property is at the north end of State Street so is not convenient to the lower State Street shopping area but it is across the street from Santa Barbara's nicest mall. Our room (#305) was on the second floor facing State Street, with a balcony overlooking one of the pools. I would not select this room during the summer... More

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon and it was brilliant. They were so friendly upon check in and there are free drinks available in the lounge if you have to wait or if you just want to relax.

Stayed here one night on PCH trip. Good location for PCH and only 5 minute drive to downtown Santa Barbara. Rooms are a little dated but clean and a good size - standard for a Best Western. Pool area and flame pit are nice. Free parking and wifi is a bonus. We walked across the road to the shopping mall... More
