This was our first time staying in Santa Barbara, and Best Western Plus Pepper Tree Inn stood out the most to us for its great location, reasonable price, and dog-friendly policy. It was easy to find, with plenty of on-site parking, and close to shops (Target) and restaurants within walkable distance. The hotel had a nice grassy area for the dogs and was also pretty quiet. We barely heard any noise from neighboring rooms, which made for a relaxing stay. We also liked that our room came with a patio area - it was nice to get some fresh air in the early morning and to let our dogs out to sunbathe while we got ready. Overall, the hotel was clean and well-kept, though the floors in our room were a bit on the dirty side upon check-in, we ended up going out to buy some slippers to keep our feet clean. We also wished there was a microwave in the room for added convenience - they had one located in the lobby though. Despite a couple of minor issues, the cleanliness, overall comfort/feel of the room (loved the bathroom mirror!), and how dog-friendly it was, would definitely bring us back again.

Me and my fiance had a great weekend at this hotel! Room was super clean and loved that the outside was a more older style while the inside was more up to date. Would definitely come back to this facility.

False advertising. Picture shows ocean view that doesn’t exist. Hotel is inland by10 miles. Breakfast shut down due to audit. An abundance of caution tapes makes you wonder how bad it was inside. Room floor was clean but then you find hair in shower.
