Top Goleta Beach Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Rooms r nice, w a small couch along w a desk. The bed and pillows are comfortable. The hot breakfast is a nice option. I stay here 3x a year for meetings."

Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very well maintained and a great bargain in Santa Barbara. The room was extremely clean and large. The bathroom was very nicely laid out. Breakfast was very convenient and the property was in a great location in town. The property is older but that didn’t detract from anything during our stay."

Hilton Garden Inn Santa Barbara / Goleta

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean spacious corner Mountain View room. Bathroom was modern and clean. Huge balcony with table and lounge area. Only drawback was lots of car traffic and noise on street which was not very relaxing. Also would’ve used the pool area but there was no jacuzzi and it was too cold to only use the pool. Overall very nice place to stay."

Motel 6 Goleta, CA - Santa Barbara

2/10 Terrible

"TERRIBLE NOISE INSULTATION! Go anywhere else. We lost over 2 hours of sleep because an obnoxious couple decided to "make some noise" in the room directly above us, starting around 3:30am... I attempted to contact staff via the Hotels.com app around 4am, but never received a response. Customer support themselves contacted the Motel 6 staff, but nothing happened. Instead I was told to call staff myself using the phone in our room. Nobody answered. I tried banging on the wall a few times so the couple might get the picture that PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP at what was then 4:30 am... Nope! I wasn't about to bang on their door and start a confrontation - I'm a small woman. Instead, I bit the bullet and just went on my phone waiting for silence... First the "noise making", then them showering, then their microwave, their shuffling around packing bags, and FINALLY a bang as they bumped their suitcases out the door at 5:30. Finally we could sleep again, but at what cost? We ended up exhausted, and slept in 2 hrs later than we wanted. No surprise there but super disappointing. Highly unlikely to ever return. The Buellton location is more affordable and quiet anyways! You have plenty of other fantastic and responsive places to choose from in the area, but this one is terrible."
