Hidden Gem Whilst booking I was unsure about whether to stay here as Best Western do not have the best reputation in the UK. If only they were like this property. The rooms are spacious, clean with enormous, comfortable beds and facilities. From check in to check out, everything was simple and easy. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the grounds clean and tidy with outdoor spaces to meet and relax. I would 100% stay here again if I found myself in the Santa Barbara area.

When we checked in there was a bottle of champagne with tall stemmed glasses waiting in our room. Housekeeping was excellent and considerate throughout our stay. Well worth an excellent rating.
