The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good
"The room was clean. The room maintenance should be addressed. The toilet roll holder constantly fell off the wall, the phone was beeping and needed to be unplugged, faucets didn’t work right. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very quiet which was great because I think the hotel was full. Staff was friends and they had to deal with the Hilton system being down which I’m sure was a pain for them."
