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. 😟

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.

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.

The pool area appeared well-maintained, but the overall facilities felt run down and could use significant upgrades. It's unfortunate since I had hoped for a more vibrant environment.

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.

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.

Breakfast was a disappointment. I was notified that there would be no breakfast due to renovations, and the grab-and-go options were far from satisfying.

The maintenance of the facilities was lacking, especially with my first room's issues. However, the pool area looked inviting, though I didn't have a chance to use it.

However, I did encounter a couple of issues, including inconsistent service and some noise disturbances during renovations. Overall, it's a nice place, but it could use some improvements in customer service and soundproofing.

My room was spacious and clean, which made my stay comfortable. The beds were also quite cozy, helping me get a good night's sleep. Although, I did notice a couple of hairs in the bedding that weren't mine, which made it a bit uncomfortable.
