Top Goleta Hotel Reviews

The Milo

8/10 Good

"Beautiful Great location Parking is not included so budget an extra $40 There is only one jacuzzi which tends to be quite busy and is not open in the morning before checkout"

The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

6/10 Okay

"The room was fine. Found 2 spiders. Not going to ding the hotel for something that found its way in Was not allowed to check in before 4pm... again that is standard fare for a hotel My complaint is that after paying for my stay, and the additional security deposit (which was returned) I was charged an additional $50 for some reason?"

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed the old hotel charm. Especially the duck and lilly pond. The women in the breakfast room who greeted us and assisted was lovely and helpful. The only issue I had was not refreshing the room. I don't mind the beds not being made up but I do like fresh towels, cups and coffee. It was not an inexpensive room and I just thought we should have call for each item we needed replaced. Also, we did were able to get internet eventhough I was a Whndym honors member. However, overall we had a wonderful stay and would return."

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

6/10 Okay

"Chose a room with a balcony as I like to sleep with fresh air. No screen door. I asked to be put in ANY room with screens. Sorry, we don't do screens. So my room populated up with flying insects. This tells me they do the minimum for customers. I checked, all the surrounding properties have screens. I will book with them next time. also, the wifi was terrible and TV was wonky."
