The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

6/10 Okay

"Clean room and nice lobby. The rooms were very small for our family of 3. There is no soundproofing at all in the room. Lots of echoes and you can clearly hear neighbors through the wall making it really difficult to sleep."

The Upham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. Staff was so friendly and the restaurant & bar was wonderful and great to have on site. Snacks provided, happy hour and continental breakfast pastries and delicious coffee from SB Coffee company. Rooms were spacious, clean, and bed was comfy. Gardens and cottages have lots of seating to sit & relax. Away from the chaos of downtown & wharf but still walkable. Really loved our stay! We'll be back soon!"

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

4/10 Poor

"No direccions on how to enter the propery. There is a guard shack but nobody is there. At the check in they did not have the room I requested instead they gave me a voucher for misserable 20.00 . Room was good but the balcony had spider webs and holes in teh wall and cilling. Not a 5 star hotel. May be 2 . No complementry nothing. I will stay away . Not a 700.00 room"
