Top Goleta Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Great location for SB. Had plenty of amenities and the staff was very helpful. We booked the last room but it smelled badly of cigarette smoke, and we left for dinner so the staff immediately put an ozone machine in it and got the smell out. My only complaint that was noteworthy, and doesn’t exactly fault the hotel, was one night of a very rowdy crowd coming through way past midnight. Yelling, bringing friends and running down the hallway, slamming doors etc. it was so obnoxious and the hotel staff was not available to talk to, and the off-time manager was not picking up so we couldn’t do much at the time. Aside from that, we had a great time in SB"

Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"It is always clean"

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

10/10 Excellent

"Already wrote review for 1st night. The ONLY issue I had was the price increase for this night. And it would have doubled THAT price if I stayed until Sunday."

Lemon Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience and chill location. Cafe is great too."

Wine Valley Inn

10/10 Excellent

"While our stay was only one night, we loved the quaintness of our room and had a perfect view of the downtown area. We sat outside on the patio by the fireplace that evening and enjoyed our complimentary breakfast the next morning. The property was very well kept and was beautiful!"

The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Nice"

Beachside Inn

8/10 Good
