"It is very like a high-end motel. It is very inconvenient to have no elevator. The stroller needs to be carried upstairs by itself. Passersby can walk directly to the door of your room. It makes people feel insecure and the service attitude is very ordinary."

"The 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. 👍🏽"

"We arrived at the hotel late at night, and it was great that the hotel had its own parking lot with no additional parking fees. However, the front desk staff during checkout seemed a bit cold and unsmiling, and they didn’t even offer a simple greeting. The breakfast options were extremely limited—the simplest meal we had during our entire stay in the U.S.—but it was enough to fill us up, and the coffee was exceptionally good! The service wasn’t particularly warm or attentive, and there wasn’t much in the way of friendly smiles. That said, the hotel itself and its decor were quite decent. 到达酒店的时候已经大晚上，酒店有自己的停车场并且不收停车费，这点非常好。不过退房的前台态度有点冷漠，不苟言笑，也没有打任何招呼。早饭选择超级少，是我们在美国所有早饭里最简单的一餐，不过还是能吃饱，毕竟咖啡非常非常好喝！服务算不上贴心，没有什么微笑服务。不过酒店以及布置还是可以的"
