Okay, aber abgelegen
Alles soweit nett und sauber. Der Rezeptionsbereich wirkt aber kalt und unfreundlich. Hauptproblem ist die deutlich zu große Entfernung zur Innenstadt. Dafür ist es deutlich zu teuer.

This Best Western was the best one I have ever stayed at...and was more comparable to a 4 star hotel. Yes, it is still a motel, but the property AND rooms were immaculately clean and in good condition! The King room we stayed in was large and nicely appointed. The staff were friendly! We loved the jacuzzi and heated pool! Awesome place to stay for a lower price point in Santa Barbara!
