Top Cielito Hotel Reviews

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, friendly staff, and covered parking. Great option within walking distance to the beach and restaurants."

Beachside Inn

8/10 Good

"If proximity to the Santa Barbara, CA harbor and beach is your priority, the Beachside Inn is a great option. Even if you’re not such a harbor and beach person, this is a great place to lodge. The rooms our two parties stayed in were clean, comfortable and everything worked like A/C & heat, ceiling fan, mini fridge, lights, water pressure including hot water when needed. Our room (302) needed more light, but we had flashlights with us to see down into our luggage better at night. The free to guests daily breakfast buffet was tasty and well maintained throughout the buffet open hours each morning. Coffee and hot tea were available 24/7. Our rooms had a limited harbor view that we all loved. The swimming pool was clean and enjoyable and we liked the sundeck. The staff were all quite friendly and helpful. This is an older, but well maintained property and a very nice place to stay for easy walks to restaurants and to the peace and beauty of the Santa Barbara coast. Keep up the good work Beachside Inn!"

The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The Leta was absolutely splendid. The room was so spacious and beautifully decorated. We sat at the Bar for hours. We enjoyed fantastic craft cocktails, savory appetizers and enjoyed a live performance from a talented singer songwriter. The ambience was perfect - we sat outside under twinkle lights near the beautiful sparkling pool. Can't wait to return."

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"I really liked the location of the hotel near the beach. I had a very late check in and the staff was sleeping at 2am and it took a minute for them to wake up. He didn't give me room I booked but after complaining a good bit the GM gave me a 50% discount which worked out fine with me. I plan to book it in the future but I wouldn't pay over $275 a night. Hot tub was small but nice and cleaned every morning. Great for people with pets."
