The lady that checked me in was very kind and helpful after a day of sitting in the airport and delays she was still there when I checked out and she was so kind to give me a pastry and piece of fruit as I had a very early flight out on Christmas morning. I wish I had gotten her name.

Comfortable Stay; Crowded Breakfast Area
Reception was friendly and efficient. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, with convenient nearby parking. However, the breakfast area was crowded during peak hours, leading to limited seating. Overall, a pleasant stay.

I stayed in Goleta to visit family during the holiday season. My wife and i have stayed at the hotel a few times previously. This visit i stayed as a single. Unfortunately, the hot tub and pool were out of commission due to upgrades. Other family members are staying at the hotel during my stay. The room was satisfactory. The drainage in the shower was not good. The hotel was convenient. The breakfast cafe was excellent.

I'll Stay Again
The hotel was very nice and as expected. The room was clean and tidy. The front desk attendant was very nice. Only minor issue is the door lock was quirky. But I am sure that is an easy fix. The location is very close to many services. Overall, I would definitely stay there again. A good value, particularly for Santa Barbara.
