"Motel 6 is a chain brand. There are three in Santa Barbara. Please check the address when booking. I made the mistake of booking this one. I drove to the beach ten kilometers away and found out I had made the mistake. Overall the rooms are quite decent, a little compact but have all the necessary facilities. It takes about ten minutes to drive to the beach. There is free hot water and instant coffee at the front desk. There is plenty of parking space for each room and there is a swimming pool."

"Our room featured a balcony and was thoughtfully designed. Breakfast was included, and the front desk was always staffed, which was reassuring. Parking was both convenient and secure. The staff were incredibly helpful, readily answering all our questions, from bike rentals to car repairs. We found it very convenient to walk to both the pier and the beach. The area truly comes alive with activities on weekends, adding greatly to its charm."

"I checked into this hotel on Friday, so the price was 2,300, which is twice as expensive as usual. It is considered a motel in general. The decoration is American-style and parking is free. Some people have rated the breakfast very well, but I think it is very average. It only has some bread and cold boiled eggs. There is a tofu and vegetable snack. There is no bacon, sausage, or vegetables. The fruit is cantaloupe, which is quite disappointing. If around 1,000 is acceptable, then the service is considered normal."

The front desk service of the hotel is warm and thoughtful and very friendly, 24 hours a day, and I am very patient to call for consultation if something happens at night."

"Плюсы отеля, это прям бутик на 9 номеров, где чувствуешь себя как дома, кровать удобная, атмосфера милая, есть бесплатная парковка. Минусы: шумно спать на 1 этаже, отель расположен прям на дороге и слышимость ужасная, я вообще практически там не спала, кондей висит прям сбоку от кровати и дует прямо в лицо, мы его выключили и открыли окно, но звуки сумашедшие и поспать не удалось, холод ник гудит жестко, пришлось выключить. Завтрак был включен но это одно название, там сидит девушка на ресепшн она же готовит омлет или яичницу и дает 2 куска хлеба и чай в пакетиках. На этом всё. Тем кто спит как убитый наверно подойдет этот вариант. Для меня была удачная бессонная ночь там."

GGuest UserWas here for 2 nights with my partner, and first time staying at a bnb. Was pleasantly surprised by how clean and conveniently located it was. It’s a short walk from state street, where all the good restaurants and retail shops are. The breakfast was delicious and cooked with soul. The cookies were also a lovely treat. Highly recommend for a homey and enjoyable experience!

GGarciaThe hotel itself is very different in the way it blends in with the neighborhood, pretty nice in style and not what I was expecting for a Best Western. The hotel isn’t too far from the city center but also not close enough (which is why I gave a 4), but it is very very nice. I also gave a 4 for amenities only because I wasn’t able to use them as it was less than 24 hour stay, and I wanted to experience the city more. Overall, I did like it, comfortable bed and pillows and I believe I could have slept much longer if I didn’t have an 11am check out 🤦🏽♂️🤣. But overall I was satisfied and the staff both office and cleaning were very kind and helpful. ❤️ Santa Barbara is a very beautiful city and BW gave the right price for my stay. 👍🏽

AAnonymous UserI really didn't expect such a good inn. I'm very satisfied. It also has a rich breakfast, free coffee ☕️ and slippers are provided. It is similar to the Hanting Hotel in China, and the rooms are not as bad as the Hilton in Miami and Los Angeles. The location is good, right on the seaside, not far from the pier.

KKOBECHAN20This was the best hotel on our West Coast trip, even more comfortable than the 5-star hotel we stayed at in Las Vegas. We liked it so much we booked another hotel from the same chain later in Monterey. Parking was super convenient, right in front of our room, and it was free – plus they had breakfast! Where else can you find that? The scenery was beautiful, and it was incredibly kid-friendly. The pool was heated, though we didn't use it. There's also a self-service laundry room with dryers, but you need to download an app to top up and use them. Highly recommend booking a stay here!

Kkaepin【よかった点】 立地が最強です! サンタバーバラ駅からこちらのホテルが見えるほど近いです。駅から徒歩2分ほどで到着します。 ・ホテルの共用部に電子レンジや飲み物などが設置されており、無料でパンも提供されています。パンはとても美味しかったです。 ・無料でお酒が一杯飲めます。ホテルの方が作ってくれます。 ・ホテルもとてもおしゃれです!隅々まで凝らしてあるので、ホテルの内部にも目を向けてみると楽しいです。 【いまいちな点】 ・お風呂 トイレとお風呂が近すぎ、かつ狭いです。かなり使いにくいので、要注意です。
