Santa Barbara is a premiere place to stay with prices to match. Goleta is north of Santa Barbara down the 101 just a bit. And, in my opinion, a haven from the notable State Street of Santa Barbara. State Street is a great place to hang out.. If you can afford to stay near State Street at a decent hotel... More

This was a very last minute reservation, just called and booked the hotel knowing nothing. The front desk was very friendly and willing to work with you on where you wanted your room (we didn't care that much though). For the most part, quiet, clean, just pretty basic and standard. Not a bad place for just a 1 night stay.... More

We had a great time at this property. It was clean, comfortable, friendly, and it had great amenities. The location is not ideal, but if you're looking for a place to crash while you're on the road, I would recommend this place. Good job! More

We stayed for 2 nights in Dec 2011. The rooms are small with only twin bed option for 2 beds. The bathrooms lack ventilation. If given a choice would avoid it next time. More

We just spent Christmas visiting our daughter in Goleta. We chose this hotel because of the good price we got. The room was a good size for the type, and the bathroom was extremely nice! Pillows marked firm or soft, with plenty to go around. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our room overlooked the parking lot; next... More

Just wanted to point out that I never write reviews on hotels. Never been that compelled to. However in this case I feel as though I really should. Problems after problems. Hotel staff not inviting, a fight outside, bugs in the room, shower didn't work right and small rooms and bed. There are other hotels around this area and I... More

The staff was nice, and the beds were comfortable, but that's about all I can say about this place. First, our door wouldn't open. We had to figure out how to turn the handle just right to get in every time we entered. Second, the bedside lamp and clock were unplugged. My daughter had to pull out the mattress to... More

I arrived at the Holiday Inn and was greeted by friendly staff. They quickly checked me in to my comfy, large room. This hotel has exterior corridors, which makes it seem a little dated and like a motel. This is not something you see at most Holiday Inns. The beds were great and the rooms were clean. Beware of the... More

Always a bit put off by Holiday Inns that are adjacent to the freeway, but this one was fine. The room (we got upgraded - thanks, Gary!) was on the 2nd floor and overlooked the pool. It was very large, had a kitchenette with fridge and microwave, and had been updated, so the initial impression was welcoming. However, the kitchen... More
