"Budget friendly group hotel"
Overall Score3.5/ 5
A group friendly hotel with the lowest rates in and out of Santa Barbara, most of the time. Has a lot of what most groups are looking for in a hotel property, free Wi-Fi, free parking, mini fridge, on-site laundry, outdoor, Jacuzzi, interior corridors and rooms with queen beds. While breakfast is not included, there is a restaurant/bar onsite on the third floor. The closest freeway is the 101, 10 miles south of Santa Barbara, close to old town Carpinteria, close to the local beach and a short drive to retail stores, grocery store, fast food, and gas stations. It is deal for all group types on a budget and needing/wanting all the amenities.

"A nice place to stay."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
This hotel is a great place to stay in the Santa Barbara area. It is right off the freeway, so very convenient and I did appreciate the fact that they don’t clean your room every single day but let you dictate when it needs to be done. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The courtyard is lovely.

"Perfect!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Quaint, clean with all the amenities you could ask for! The pool is small but clean and heated ! The front desk staff is friendly and helpful. It’s in a nice area which is about a mile away from nice eateries. I will be returning!

"Beautiful but clearly off season."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
We splurged on this trip to Carpinteria to stay at the Best Western. The staff seemed less than excited to be there. The vending machines did not work properly and when I asked for help I was told that the staff was "not authorized to work on the vending machines". Both doors in the hotel room were very hard to open and upon exit one of your larger doors was completely off it's hinge and sitting on the floor. The bar server was less than knowledgeable about wine, when I asked her for a sauvignon blanc she asked me "what that was". There are multiple charges from the Best Western on my credit card, for what? I'll have to make that call which should not be needed! We love the Best Western's beautiful courtyard gardens but is the rest worth it?.

"Nice property room not clean."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
While the property was pretty my room was not clean at all. The sink did not function and it backed up immediately with any use of water. The area behind the bed and dressers were filthy.
