Top Goleta Hotel Reviews

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"The king room with a balcony was spacious, sleek and clean. Our room was by the door to the hallway and luckily we were there on a Thursday night so it wasn’t too active. The hot tub is wonderful and the staff are really helpful and nice. I would definitely stay here again! The coffee and continental breakfast was a good way to start the day."

Chumash Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Clean amenities of high quality."

The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

8/10 Good

"Good property for the price, room was clean and bed was comfortable."

Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"It was perfect for the price"

Motel 6 Goleta, CA - Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Parking is highly constrained; when I came in very late only to find no available parking spaces, I had to go to the office for assistance (the attendant was behind the desk very quickly after I entered the office) in order to be directed to spaces available at the bowling alley next door. The motel is very conveniently located near grocery stores, drug stores, various restaurants, and other retail establishments. The TV channel selections was modest and the channel selection process was awkward. A single channel guide with scrolling through 48 channels or so, no premium channel availability."

The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"The entire staff were professional, cheerful and glad to be of service."
