This is a good, functional, clean hotel. It's obviously older, but has been upgraded. Bummer it's next to the freeway because of noise. Great that it's next to the freeway for easy access. My check in got messed up, but the great staff fixed it and all was well. Thanks

The surrounding city of Goleta is very nice to walk around to grab brunch, shop for snacks, or enjoy a nice dinner. The area is very safe and the property was located in a very convenient area that's only a 2 minute drive away from nearby stores. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to stay in Goleta for a weekend trip.

This is a very convenient location. I used stay here often to go visit our daughter at Ucsb. However, the price of the room during graduation weekend was outrageous.

Actually this place was quite refreshing after a really not so great stay at another motel 6. This place was clean, quiet and really nice. I really enjoyed my stay here, only one night but the receptionist was quite friendly. I'd come back here, no problem. Great place to stay
