The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
" hotel was nice, relaxing, and dog-friendly. The bar was a great spot, especially with the fire pits, and the staff was welcoming. The only drawback was one bar being closed for a private event, and when it ended the guests were loud and disruptive. Other than that, it was an enjoyable stay and a good place to relax"
