This is a great hotel for the price range. They have microwaves and refrigerators in the rooms which is crucial for many travelers. The rooms are modern, new and clean. Our only complaint is the lack of water pressure in the shower, but after staying in many hotels this seems to be a common problem. The environment outside the hotel isn’t ideal (across from a gas station and a Target) but you won’t found anything better in Goleta unless you can afford to stay at Ritz Carlton. I looked into this throughly. Most hotels in Goleta are on major streets and in busy areas.

The room was clean, tidy, and well-organized. The TV was huge—watching movies on it was a cool experience. The location is excellent, right across from a supermarket and a plaza, making shopping and dining very convenient. The front desk staff was also very welcoming and helpful. The only downside was a noticeable smell of paint in the hotel hallways.
