Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great property for a night before and early flight (or anytime really). Front desk staff was AMAZING. Room modern with tile floors, no carpet, platform bed so no dust or junk underneath. I love when sink is outside of bathroom so one person can shower, and one person get ready. Shower was new and clean. Pool area also well maintained and clean. Would definitely stay again.

Not very nice hotel
The hotel was pretty run down. The staff was friendly but that was the only real plus. The rooms were barely a step up from a Motel 6. They advertised a hot tub but it was closed. And there were workmen making noise starting at 8am.

The lady that checked me in was very kind and helpful after a day of sitting in the airport and delays she was still there when I checked out and she was so kind to give me a pastry and piece of fruit as I had a very early flight out on Christmas morning. I wish I had gotten her name.

Comfortable Stay; Crowded Breakfast Area
Reception was friendly and efficient. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, with convenient nearby parking. However, the breakfast area was crowded during peak hours, leading to limited seating. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Mr. Richard C. Jackson
I stayed in Goleta to visit family during the holiday season. My wife and i have stayed at the hotel a few times previously. This visit i stayed as a single. Unfortunately, the hot tub and pool were out of commission due to upgrades. Other family members are staying at the hotel during my stay. The room was satisfactory. The drainage in the shower was not good. The hotel was convenient. The breakfast cafe was excellent.
