Top Goleta Hotel Reviews

Wine Valley Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was just ok. Not really a buffet breakfast."

Hilton Garden Inn Santa Barbara / Goleta

10/10 Excellent

"Hilton Garden Inn in Goleta is a great choice when in Santa Barbara. It is super clean, friendly staff and easy to get to from the 101. Also, excellent food choices and a fun vibe on Saturday night with live music upstairs. Highly recommend, perfect family environment as well !"

Beachside Inn

8/10 Good

"Well, when we reached in the night, we were expecting to see the ocean as the name says but did not. However, next morning we noticed in fact it is very close to the Ocean. In terms of the facility it is clean, decently maintained. Amenities are reasonable and serves the purpose. The best part we liked at this facility is the Breakfast. Even though it says continental breakfast, they had more than just bagels, toast and muffins. We had a full breakfast, that's the highlight. Overall its a good place."
