After arriving at this hotel after 16 hours of travel I was assigned a room with a door lock that was not functioning properly and my travel belongings including the key to my rental car were trapped in the room until they located a physical key to get into the room. In a 1 week business travel stay I had to switch rooms 3 times.

The front desk staff rude and unprofessional Cristina M who is a manager there charged us one night $ almost $400 . First she said $100 security fee. But my account was charged $400. I told her we already paid on Expedia website. He responds was too bad. Not my fault, someone else made a mistake. I am extremely disappointed and it was very unprofessional the way she treated me and my husband.

Pleasantly surprised! Stayed 1 night Best Western Plus w/South Coast Inn in Goleta/Santa Barbara. Clean rooms part laminate flooring w partial carpet, clean bathrooms, and best of all clean sheets/pillow cases- girlfriend gave it the smell test- she was happy! Was a lil noisy in the morning with people’s voices and running around- there was couple young sports teams staying there, but otherwise slept well. Slept in, missed the free breakfast- but we’ll catch it next time. Definitely coming back! Ate at the Nugget nearby- food was great…. There was also Sunshine Cafe in same spot-looked good was crowded but wait time was too long, we’ll try them on next visit. Overall stay was nice!

Convenient location for visiting our son at UCSB. It’s an expensive area to visit so I’m grateful for a clean, safe and affordable option. My only complaint was that there is no fan in the bathroom. I won’t go into details but I was staying with my husband and teenaged son.. 😷
