Top Goleta Hotel Reviews

Beachside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We love this little place. Amazing location, great staff, super clean and they have an awesome free breakfast spread."

Chumash Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, guest rooms, clean facilities, great dining options within. I would definitely stay here again!"

Lemon Tree Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff were very accommodating. That said, our room 341 was very basic with a big hole that I assume once housed a microwave. There was also a black stain or the colour was worn off the toilet seat. Not what you would expect for a hotel charging over $330 per night. Made you think “shabby”."

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."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"It's been renovated and it's so nice. Super clean and located right on State Street. Parking is in the rear of the hotel, small bar near the lobby - I cannot recommend it enough."

Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Staffs are so nice and friendly"
