Didn't see too much of it but it seemed like a nice little town. Considering how much hotels are going for in Santa Barbara proper, it was much better paying less and driving a little more to stay in Goleta.

Goleta has definitely changed from when I used to live in CA many years ago. More of a city feel now rather than a comfy, small town feel. Didn't really explore much, but enjoyed Goleta beach!

"Wonderful property. We stayed at rooms 152 and 158, and they were excellent. Not sure of other rooms. These were renovated. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Also, they have complementary bikes, beach toys, boggie boards, etc."

"We were here for the July 4th weekend. From the front of our hotel we could enjoy the amazing all American parade and at night enjoy the fireworks in the distance without hassling with crowds.
We enjoyed the wine social hour and the outdoor fireplaces. The room was on the small side but clean, comfortable, and quiet.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming.
Solvagn is like a trip to Denmark, be sure to enjoy the danish cuisine, chocolate, and pastries. Danish sausage is mild a flavorful and offered at every meal.
A walk around town is like a trip to Europe coupled with the usual American commercialism. Great shops. "
