Wrong room number

Check in was not so good. Front desk gave me keys and wrote the room number on the sleeve. I drove around, parked, unloaded my luggage and went to the room number written in the sleeve. The key did not work in the door and I recognized that room was not facing the pool as booked. I had to walk around and check my key in every door until I got access to my room.

Staff were friendly, and the facility was clean and quiet. The only puzzling experience was that housekeeping knocked on our door at 8:00 AM on the day of checkout, which I’ve never experienced before.

I have stayed at this Best Western many times and I am surprised and disappointed at my experience this time. The door to my room would not latch unless I slammed it with great force, the fan in the bathroom was not working, there was an overpowering, cloyingly sweet and unpleasant scent of room air freshener that about knocked me over when I stepped into the room, so strong that the clothes I hung up now smell like that. The AC unit leaked water and the carpet in front of it was saturated. The fridge made a loud rattling sound when the motor turned on. While the bed was comfy, linens were nice and there were lots of pillows, between the smell and the fridge, it was not a good night's sleep. Staff was pleasant and took my complaints about the door, the fan, and the soaked carpet seriously, complimentary breakfast was adequate and the dining area is large and patio/pool area are very pretty. But BW needs to address maintenance in this hotel.

Nice amenities at a good price

The grounds are lovely and relaxing. Unfortunately the jacuzzi was not heated. The pool, though not heated, was a nice swim. Kids enjoyed the ping pong table while we sat under the outdoor Edison lights and I got to crochet. Good variety of sitting spaces to enjoy the garden. The full breakfast was good with enough variety of choices. Eating breakfast on the patio was nice while there was also plenty of space to eat inside. The room was comfortable and clean and four of us were able to sit and enjoy chatting. It's a great location near UCSB and restaurants. Easy on/off highway access. I would stay here again.

I very much enjoyed my stay. So close to groceries and so many eateries. Walking distance to everything I needed, plus very quiet and serene. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Though I didn't have time to use the pool, the view was beautiful and added to the serenity. This will be my go to place when I come to Santa Barbara!
