We had an amazing stay the Best Western Plus. The front-desk staff were very friendly and helpful in every respect. Our room was spacious and clean, with a great AC system and great extras (safe, microwave, mini fridge, robes, anti-fog mirror in the bathroom). The property includes a zebra-finch aviary (cool!), a pool, and a hot tub. The Live Oak Restaurant on the hotel property has excellent selection, amazingly fast service, and very reasonable prices for the food quality. The hotel location is a nice quiet area, a bit too far to walk to downtown Santa Barbara but a short drive or Uber away. We would happily stay here again.

The vibe/decor is different from most chain hotels and looks more interesting, especially with the onsite restaurant and bird sanctuary. The bathroom dispenser didn't dispense very smoothly.
