My stay at Best Western Plus Pepper Tree Inn was quite a mixed bag. I was pleased with the overall cleanliness and the friendly interactions with the staff, which made me feel comfortable. However, the absence of breakfast options and a surprising incident where staff entered my room while I was still there marred the experience. Additionally, the noise from nearby traffic was bothersome. 😟

Rooms

I found the room to be decent but somewhat dated. The noise from the traffic was loud, which made relaxing difficult. Having a balcony overlooking the pool was a nice touch, but I was overall underwhelmed by the quality of the facilities.

On the positive side, I encountered friendly and helpful staff throughout my stay. They were attentive and even reached out to me about an item I forgot in the room, which I really appreciated.

Location

The hotel is situated near Highway 1, making it easy to access shops and attractions in Santa Barbara. However, it's a bit removed from the main action in town, which might bother some visitors.

My stay was a mixed bag. The hotel had a charming Spanish style and great proximity to local shops, but unfortunately, there were several issues with my first room that really dampened the experience. After moving to a better room, I appreciated the comfort, yet I still felt the amenities could have been better managed.

Rooms

The first room had a musty smell, and honestly, the shower didn't work well. When I moved to the second room, it was a marked improvement, but still, the shower head was rusted. I expected more from a renovated room.

The staff was friendly, but there were some miscommunications that added to my frustration. They did try to help when I reported issues with my room, but the response could have been better.
