Goleta Spa Hotels

It was very good to stay near UCSB when I escaped from the epidemic to find friends. It feels like the best hotel in Santa Barba.

I used to enjoy staying at the Pacifica Suites many years ago. It was a beautiful place for families to stay, and the hot breakfast was a huge bonus. During this stay, the hotel felt really run down, old, and overpriced. The bathroom shower head and toilet were worn and stained. The toiletries provided were cheap and ineffective. There's not even a soap dish near the sink. The sofa bed was super uncomfortable, and the bedding was stained. We had to call for pillows and a blanket to be delivered. The grounds were not well kept (e.g., overgrown bushes on the outdoor staircase). There is no food or fresh coffee items (even though many hotels continued to offer packaged breakfast items even during covid). And why do they charge $10 per day for a space in an open parking lot?! Our 2 night stay was super expensive and uncomfortable and felt like a big rip-off. I would never stay at Pacific Suites again.

This is a great hotel to stay if you are visiting Santa Barbara. The hotel is located quite close to the beaches and other attractions. The hotel also offers free parking. The rooms are quite spacious and very clean. They also have a microwave and a fridge. Other than that, the room also have a coffee machine and free coffee. The hotel also has an onsite laundry that the guest can use. It also has a restaurant that is open until 8:30pm. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Great hotel and I can recommend it to anyone.

I had a bit of trepidation booking this hotel, but didn't have much of choice as everything was booked or super expensive for UCSB's open house for admitted students. Turns out it was the nicest Motel 6 I've ever stayed in. Room was small, but furniture was nicer than other Motel 6's and water pressure was great. Same soap/shampoo/towels as other Motel 6's, but it was nice that room seemed and felt a step above other Motel 6's. We did pay more for this Motel 6 than other locations, but I chalk that up to the UCSB event and it being Santa Barbara.

Thank you Cindy, Sarah and Gabe. You guys made it special for my boyfriend on his birthday! I appreciate the kindness and welcoming! We loved the food at breakfast and dinner. I wish I could remember our bartender’s name on Monday 29th, she made great conversation and made us feel welcomed. The hotel is 12-15 mins away to most restaurants, I will for sure come back when is sunnier:)

Hotel prices are affordable, there is free parking, a small pool, room air conditioning sounds a bit noisy. Breakfast is simple, not even eggs, but you can make delicious waffles, there are several restaurants and small supermarkets for 5-7 minutes.
