Hotels near BrandNew Industries, Inc., Goleta

The hotel looks very well maintained. My room had a sofa and desk along with the king size bed. Big room for a hotel. The bathroom and sink area are alittle small, but very modern and tiled. The shower was excellent. The pool and jucuzzi were crystal clear and clean. Pretty big pool with a deep end of 8 ft. The location is about 8 minute drive to downtown, but there are several restaurants within walking distance. The area seems nice, don’t let the closed hotel next door scare you away.

We found this charming little hotel last minute as we were road-tripping through Santa Barbara. It’s a wonder that it wasn’t fully booked up in advance! Although not right on the water, it is only a five minute walk to the harbor. It has a couple of wonderful features. First, it is quiet and solidly built. Second, the internal long courtyard is filled with trees and plants - a lush botanical garden to enjoy. The staff is super friendly and there is a continental breakfast. We have taken many road trips during the COVID era; when other properties fall short, this place satisfies!

Beautiful grounds, nice pool and hot tub. Great location for the Santa Barbara area to enjoy the attractions, museums and sites. Close to shopping, beach and many historic attractions. Also located near freeway making travel to and from the Ramada Santa Barbara convenient.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BOOK with this absolutely disgusting and poorly run excuse for an inn. We had an absolutely horrific experience. We requested a room with a fridge, as we needed it to keep life saving medicine at a cold temperature. We arrive to an unplugged fridge, and called the front desk, 8 times, about setting the fridge and various issues in our room and no one ever answered. I went myself to check on the staff and they said they weren't sure how to navigate the fridge temperature (said 3 was coldest between 1-6?) Our sinks were clogged the whole time. The bathroom was moldy, grimy and chipped. There was no water pressure in the shower so we ended up not even using the shower. The towels and linens were too few, and stained. The noise levels were intolerable. I spoke with front desk staff who assured me they were documenting my concerns and that the manager, Conrad would be following up and that I would be very well taken care of by management. They also looked into the issue and found that the phone systems were down while we stayed there, which is not safe and another entire issue. I requested our stay to be comped due to the excessive number of issues, but there was never a manager to speak to and the staff continually assured me I would be contacted and taken care of by Conrad. Later that day, this is the response I received via email: ”Hey Julie, Our corporate office investigated your stay and we regret to inform you that a refund will not be issued. Best, Lemon Tree Staff” What a sorry excuse for an inn, incredibly poor staffing, and untrained management. I both called and e-mailed ”Corporate” and the phone lines were dead and the email was returned. Apparently you cannot reach anyone that might resolve your concerns and issues. I requested the team have Corporate reach out to me, over a week ago, still no call. The whole operation is based out of India and is completely inaccessible. This is absolutely unacceptable for hospitality. This Inn is a scam.

We stayed in room 308 (1 Bedroom Suite) the week of September 12, 2022. The hotel and room are in great condition. All of the employees that we had contact with were very nice. There was always lots of parking available in the hotel parking lot and it's very well lit. There isn't much in the immediate area of the hotel but it's perfectly safe and only a 15 minute drive to downtown Santa Barbara. However, the bathroom sink is in the bedroom. It's not actually inside the bathroom with the toilet and shower/tub. I personally really dislike this design because if one person is sleeping you can't use the bathroom sink without waking them up. But what's even worse about the design of the bathroom is that there isn't a single towel rack or hook anywhere near the bathroom sink or the toilet or the shower/tub or on either side of the bathroom door to hang a towel. In addition, I understand that the room that I'm assigned may not look exactly like the photos of the 1 Bedroom Suite on the hotel website but the front desk said that the 1 Bedroom Suite pictured on the hotel website (The bathroom sink is actually inside the bathroom with the toilet and the shower/tub. There are towel racks in the bathroom.) isn't available to anyone. In other words, none of the 1 Bedroom Suites actually look like the photos of the 1 Bedroom Suite on the hotel website. So we resorted to using the ”closet” rods as a towel rack for all of our bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths. We also took a square freestanding storage unit from the ”closet” area and placed it next to to the shower/tub to put our towels on so we can reach for them when getting out of the shower. This room is handicap accessible but that should have absolutely nothing to do with having towel racks or not. Everyone needs towel racks whether they're in a wheelchair or not. FYI the metal bars that you see in the photos that I posted are grab bars, not towel racks. I've stayed in hotels that don't have enough towel rack but I've never stayed in a hotel that doesn't have any towel racks at all. This seems like a major design flaw. Considering that we paid $366.00/night on average, this was extremely disappointing and inconvenient.

Santa Barbara has become massively expensive, yes this is something that’s relatively new over the last three years since I’ve been going quite a lot as my godson lives there. My usual hunt was the Hilton on East Beach. Their prices have become of seen without me being able to find anything below 650 to 900 per night anymore. So, I needed a bit of a budget motel and this came in around $400 with taxes per night, maybe this is a little bit high for the time, but, it may have been because it was a special gay pride weekend. Not sure. I like to be extremely honest in these reviews and it’s no offense to the hotel. I will say that the office staff was one of the highlights because they were gentle and kind of nice. I might say that don’t come early and expect to get a room because they don’t check you in until after 3 PM. I’m not sure why they didn’t let me in because they had rooms clean at my rate, was exhausted from getting up at 4 AM to make it to California. It’s not a huge deal. There is no pool, they have a few bicycles to rent, there is free parking in the motel but I don’t think they have enough spaces for all the guest. This was a plus having free parking. No, this is a single level very budget motel. The door to the rooms open directly into a parking lot. The good thing is these rooms are extremely clean, nice bedding, comfortable pillows, tiny bathroom and closet but the bathroom was immaculate and had a nice modern tiled shower. they have a coffee maker in the room and also serve coffee in the motel little lobby. The coffee is pretty good. They have a very simple breakfast with fresh fruit and pastries and hard-boiled eggs! For me that was a big plus because I love hard-boiled eggs for breakfast. I wasn’t up to my normal physical activity, but next time I will definitely utilize the bicycles which are included with your stay. Overall, this place is a bit charming. I hope I can find a time within the next year to come back and hopefully it won’t be on some very expensive weekend. Location is excellent as everyone says half a block from the beach, West Beach and very close to State Street.
