My wife, son and I visited the Pepper Tree Inn a few years ago and we were determined to come back. This year my wife and two friends stopped off for a few nights driving up Highway 1. It's strange because it's not the most modern or most glamorous hotel but we love it (some might find it quaint and... more

This hotel was great for us for a 4th July stop over to see the fireworks at Santa Barbara. It is of motel style, with 2 main blocks, with the rooms facing to a central landscaped courtyand, each with a pool and spa. Most of the rooms have a balcony/veranda which overlooks the pool area, except the rooms at the... more

This was our second stay at the Pepper Tree Inn Santa Barbara. It is probably not too expensive for the area and that was one of the main reasons we went back. The rooms are fine although my 9 year old son said they were old-fashioned. The first time we stayed there we were not impressed with the restaurant at... more

Just stayed at the Pepper Tree with the family.... Everything at the property seemed be very good - excellent service, immaculate and well-manicured grounds, good amenities - it's just nice when it all comes together. Yup, it's a Best Western and there is room noise from your neighbors - I read the other reviews prior to booking, too. But if... more

I enjoy reading the reviews from disappointed lodgers here. I have stayed here several times while here on business and the place is just great. I have always found it to be clean, tidy and comfortable. I get a kick out of people complaining about the price. This is a resort destination and especially during winter months! I have stayed... more

I booked this hotel thru company and got highly discounted corporate rate of $120/night. Good: -overall, nice and clean -very friendly staff -very clean towels and nicely done bathroom -(some rooms under remodeling) -convinient location -free parking -tried to mimic style and courtesy of Four Seasons, but its still Best Western Bad: -the bed appeared used -the sheets stinked (i... more

I'm surprised by some of the negative comments about this hotel. My husband and I stayed here after a disastrous experience at another hotel, and found it to be clean, comfortable, and quite well priced by Santa Barbara standards. Although we faced the main road we heard very little traffic noise, and while the rooms aren't decorated in the newest... more

Very disappointed with this hotel. It was one of several on a tour around California but it was easily the worst. Decor dated and tired, only just clean enough to be tolerable. Luckily we were only there one night otherwise we would have been seriously disappointed. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, although the staff were pleasant. One plus is... more

trip advisor reviews have never steered me wrong but this hotel was a great disappointment. It was nothing more than a roadside motel but at a price of close to $200! room was large and the bed was comfortable but other than that everything disappointed me. decor was straight out of the 1970s. walls were paper thin. noise began at... more
