10/10 Excellent
"The setting of the hotel is fantastic, with rooms overlooking the swimming pool and small well kept gardens. Rooms are large with balconies. A good breakfast choice again in a nice setting and both the reception and breakfast teams were helpful and friendly. 10 min drive into downtown SB."

The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"We were looking for a pet-friendly hotel. My son works in the hotel industry and he suggested this hotel. We were quite impressed with the customer service, the fact that the hotel does not charge a pet fee and the beauty of the hotel. The only thing we didn't care for was the restaurant Caya. The atmosphere and live music were wonderful, but the food was not very tasty. That wouldn't stop us from coming back because there are many food locations within walking distance from the hotel. We also chose a room with a patio which was nice because we could sit outside our room and enjoy the live music and relaxing ambiance."
