Top Goleta Hotel Reviews

Beachside Inn

Beachside Inn

8/10 Good
"If proximity to the Santa Barbara, CA harbor and beach is your priority, the Beachside Inn is a great option. Even if you’re not such a harbor and beach person, this is a great place to lodge. The rooms our two parties stayed in were clean, comfortable and everything worked like A/C & heat, ceiling fan, mini fridge, lights, water pressure including hot water when needed. Our room (302) needed more light, but we had flashlights with us to see down into our luggage better at night. The free to guests daily breakfast buffet was tasty and well maintained throughout the buffet open hours each morning. Coffee and hot tea were available 24/7. Our rooms had a limited harbor view that we all loved. The swimming pool was clean and enjoyable and we liked the sundeck. The staff were all quite friendly and helpful. This is an older, but well maintained property and a very nice place to stay for easy walks to restaurants and to the peace and beauty of the Santa Barbara coast. Keep up the good work Beachside Inn!"

10/10 Excellent
"The Leta was absolutely splendid. The room was so spacious and beautifully decorated. We sat at the Bar for hours. We enjoyed fantastic craft cocktails, savory appetizers and enjoyed a live performance from a talented singer songwriter. The ambience was perfect - we sat outside under twinkle lights near the beautiful sparkling pool. Can't wait to return."
