Top Goleta Hotel Reviews

Wine Valley Inn

Wine Valley Inn

8/10 Good
"Really enjoyed the cottage. It had a nice kitchen and all the plates, cookware you would need. Very friendly and helpful staff. A picky item but Netflix (or an option to use your account) on the tv would be a good addition. After a day of wine tastings it would be good to watch a something other than the local or sports channels."
