Top Goleta Hotel Reviews

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

8/10 Good

"Really convenient location and price was great considering many places in the area were 2-3 times more expensive. Room was clean and had everything we needed, great A/C but not sure why so many hotels consider double beds to be big enough for 4 people. Lots of parking and surprisingly quiet but n a night that was fully booked. Our only interaction with staff wasn’t ideal as we arrived about 50 minutes before check in. I asked if we could just check in even if the room wasn’t ready and the response was ‘that’s not happening.’ So we left for a few minutes only to come back and see there was a line and they were checking in! We still got our room just fine. We were just thrown off at the response. Overall pleasant stay and will stay here again if we need an easy room for a night or two"

The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"A charming, upscale motel with great ambiance. The indoor/outdoor restaurant and pool are both highlights. Not sure if I would stay here again because the room rates are extremely high."

Lemon Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bueno"

King Frederik Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Good reception and cleanliness of the rooms and availability of all the facilities in the room. Free parking is available"

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"My friend's and my room was nice and clean. I thought it was weird that we had to walk outside of the lobby to find the elevator, though. When my roommate and I took our showers, there was either body soap or shampoo in the container that was supposed to be conditioner. And the conditioner was in the body soap container! I was also disappointed the next morning that there was no variety of hot food, like eggs, and meat like bacon or sausage. However I did enjoy the custom brew coffee machine that offered lattes and cappuccino."

Wine Valley Inn

"We actually had a great stay. My only complaint was that at ages 76 and 87, they had us stay on the 3rd floor with us having g to navigate at least 2 set of stairs. Their didnt seem to have any feeling for this. Otherwise we had a great stay."

Beachside Inn
