Motel 6 Goleta, CA - Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Property is clean and staff was friendly. Mattresses could be updated. Prices were increased to over $700 due to local graduation."

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great experience at this property! The location was what I'd hoped for- safe, close to the freeway entrance, and easy to navigate. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom facilities were very nice. Should we be in town again we will certainly plan another visit."

The Steward, Santa Barbara, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"First thing, this hotel has something others don't in Goleta, centralized air that keeps the room cool. So many hotels in Goleta have one wall air conditioning unit located closest to one bed-that person freezes and the others boil. This room was a great temperature all night. The bed was super comfy, bathroom and shower large, sink outside the bathroom so more than one person can get ready at a time. The bartender was friendly and made good drinks, the front desk staff was friendly, helpful and full of interesting info about the historic house on property. Decor in the rooms is super cute and requested items/help arrived quickly. The property and pool area are really cute. No free breakfast, but it's not really that kind of hotel. Only downside is the pull out bed was really uncomfortable- our teenager could feel every spring. Nice separation between "the bedroom" and "living room"."

Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This was such a pleasant surprise! I needed to find a hotel in Santa Barbara that wouldn’t break the bank for a Mom on a budget. This was it! The rooms are incredibly clean, like you can smell how clean they are the second you walk in. I’m not talking air freshener, it was legit clean. The staff was incredibly nice, and it said in such a great location. A quick drive to the beach, right on State Street so there’s a ton to do. There are restaurants, nearby convenient stores, even a dispensary across the street if that’s your jam. We stayed on a ground floor room and we could hear the person above us walking around, but it wasn’t bothersome. I would absolutely stay here again. My kiddos and I didn’t even try out the pool because we spent the entire day at Henry’s beach, which was a straight shot to and from the hotel. Highly recommend!"
