We had no dislikes at all with this hotel. It was very clean, quiet, comfortable and overall reasonable considering all places in and around Santa Barbara are so pricey and sometimes nothing more than a dive. We stayed at the Lemon Tree the week before and we won't go back there. We found our home away from home in Santa Barbara. It's not in a bad location...easy to get everywhere from here. We will be back!

We were surprised at this property as it
was very clean, quiet and very close to
the Santa Barbara and wineries. The
bed was extremely comfortable with king size
pillows. It has a mircrowave and a small
fridge which we did not use since we stayed
only one night. It is fully wired and
we used the laptop and had no problems.

Grounds are beautiful, staff are very helpful, breakfast is more than just a roll and coffee. The operators of this property care about responsive service--it shows. Very close to the campus and the gym privilege is a real plus--we do not stay where we cannot work out; this is a great amenity and very close.

Cons: very uncomfortable(hard bed), thin walls allowing complete understanding of normal conversation in the adjoining room, small and thin towels
Pros: very nice landscaping, clean room, polite staff, good free breakast and patio area to enjoy breakfast on.

The room was clean and neatly furnished. Continental breakfast was good with a coffee machine that made various coffees, teas and hot chocolate (a hit with most of the patrons)The best part of the stay was the very friendly and helpful staff, especially those working the desk in the evening. They were very helpful to us and other guests and they had a friendly attitude with us and each other. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

This is a solid hotel. Room are clean, and well appointed. Items are updated reguraly, and the new beds they have are great! They have moved away from a continental breakfast to a full breakfast, and it is well worth it (try the make your own waffles!!). They have a goumet coffee maker in the lobby which is certainly as good as starbucks, but ...

I often try Best Western hotels, but this one has seen its better days. Old and tired hotel. No such thing as a non-smoking room.

They have a free breakfast in the morning, free happy hour in the evening, and free access to the nearby Goleta Valley Athletic Club (no onsite work out room). Not opulent, very pleasant place to stay.
