"The staff helped us on a last minute cancellation due to some of our family members inability to travel due to the hurricane in Kauai. We are so very thankful and grateful for their understanding and compassion through this difficult time for our family! The location of the hotel was great!

Motel 6 Goleta, CA - Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"No frills with decent amenities and excellent location for UCSB"

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great location to the sea front and to Stearns Wharf. The staff were also really friendly and the room was great. I will say though if you have super thick/long hair like I do, the showers will take longer as the water pressure isn’t very strong (just my opinion though.) For men and for women who have short hair, you’ll be absolutely fine! The shower cleanliness and amenities itself were great."
