Top Goleta Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Santa Barbara / Goleta

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean spacious corner Mountain View room. Bathroom was modern and clean. Huge balcony with table and lounge area. Only drawback was lots of car traffic and noise on street which was not very relaxing. Also would’ve used the pool area but there was no jacuzzi and it was too cold to only use the pool. Overall very nice place to stay."

Beachside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location - near the beach, but not directly in Downtown Santa Barbara where it can be loud. The property had comfy beds and very quiet. Also enjoyed the free parking! The breakfast was good - upgrade from a typical Marriott but not gourmet. Nice they had coffee for a while in the morning. Wish I brought my swimsuit to use the pool in the future."

The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

6/10 Okay

"Definitely not a 4 start hotel. More like a 2 or 3 star. It's a revamped motel. Room amenities were decent (had a mini fridge) and there was a pool. The room itself was a little worn but at least it was for the most part clean. Traveled w/ kids. Not a lot of space but made it work. Area was decent short drive (~15 mins) to downtown Santa Barbara. So if you don't want to pay downtown prices for a hotel, I would definitely stay at Leta again, but I would not pay more than $300/night."

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

6/10 Okay

"The room Was VERY outdated for a 400$+/night room. Grout In The bathroom was brown and gross and the tub covering was peeling. The bike rentals were a nice touch but could use some maintenance. Squeaky brakes and the kids bike could raise or lower because it was so rusted. The pool was a nice area. We had to check out at noon and played by the pool and used the pool Bathroom that had a shower in it but the hotel doesn’t offer travel sized shampoo / conditioner bottles only the stuff in the room. It was located across the street from the beach, but a good mile walk towards the end of State Street. Parking was also another 42$ night which is ridiculous."

Motel 6 Goleta, CA - Santa Barbara

2/10 Terrible

"TERRIBLE NOISE INSULTATION! Go anywhere else. We lost over 2 hours of sleep because an obnoxious couple decided to "make some noise" in the room directly above us, starting around 3:30am... I attempted to contact staff via the Hotels.com app around 4am, but never received a response. Customer support themselves contacted the Motel 6 staff, but nothing happened. Instead I was told to call staff myself using the phone in our room. Nobody answered. I tried banging on the wall a few times so the couple might get the picture that PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP at what was then 4:30 am... Nope! I wasn't about to bang on their door and start a confrontation - I'm a small woman. Instead, I bit the bullet and just went on my phone waiting for silence... First the "noise making", then them showering, then their microwave, their shuffling around packing bags, and FINALLY a bang as they bumped their suitcases out the door at 5:30. Finally we could sleep again, but at what cost? We ended up exhausted, and slept in 2 hrs later than we wanted. No surprise there but super disappointing. Highly unlikely to ever return. The Buellton location is more affordable and quiet anyways! You have plenty of other fantastic and responsive places to choose from in the area, but this one is terrible."
