The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Santa Barbara

Relaxed Comfort Near Santa Barbara's Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Best Western Plus Santa Barbara offers a laid-back California vibe just 3 miles from Stearn's Wharf and close to downtown’s most popular music venues. Set in a quiet neighborhood, this hotel blends convenience with comfort, featuring a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, and an on-site restaurant serving up local flavors.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its central location puts you within easy reach of Santa Barbara’s top concert venues, while still offering a peaceful escape at the end of a high-energy night. The hotel offers free WiFi, perfect for sharing your concert moments, and early check-in and late check-out times (3:00 PM and 11:00 AM) provide flexibility around show schedules. Public transportation and rideshare options are easily accessible, making it simple to get back from a late-night gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends heading to a weekend show

Couples seeking a concert and coastal getaway
Fans wanting a quiet recovery space after the encore
Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to compromise on comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Live Oak Café serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, featuring fresh local produce, seafood, and craft beer. Room service is available, so you can enjoy a post-concert bite in bed. Late-night dining nearby is limited, but downtown Santa Barbara—with its array of eateries—is just a short drive or Uber away. Plus, you’ll find fresh fruit provided daily in your room, a nice touch for a healthy morning after.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is quiet and doesn’t offer live music, you’re only minutes from downtown Santa Barbara’s buzzing nightlife scene. Local bars, lounges, and venues are a short ride away, and the hotel’s calm setting makes it a great spot to wind down after a long set.

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit dated in decor, and others mention occasional street noise. However, most agree that these are minor trade-offs for the hotel’s comfort and location.

Very good

Liked: The staff was extremely accommodating to my circumstances. We moved rooms because when we checked in initially, the neighbors above us were loud. We moved towards the back of the property and I forgot my meds in the former room. The staff contacted the people who checked in but they were out sightseeing and were given permission to get my medicine which is a lot. The 3rd situation was at 1am to 2:30am our neighbors next to us were drunk and yelling a lot. I contacted the desk and they handled the neighbors to quiet down. I thought the staff's service was above and excellent.
Disliked: Neighbors were loud because they were young , drunk and partying.

Comfortable room in convenient location.

Liked: The hotel was in a residential area, we had parking close to our rooms and the rooms were a good size. The hotel had a pool although unfortunately we didn’t have time to use it and there was a restaurant which was good.
Disliked: The bathroom was a bit small and the chairs in the room were a bit dated.

Good

Liked: The room was very nice and clean.
Disliked: The hotel location was a bit remote so we needed to take the car everywhere but we knew that when we booked. It was expensive relative to similar standard hotels we used on our 2 week road trip.
