Residence Inn by Marriott Santa Barbara Goleta

Thoughtful design at every detail. Good breakfast. Excellent customer service at front desk and dining area.

Charge for parking

brand new hotel, super clean and great staff. I absolutely recommend this place!

What was there to NOT like about the hotel. The room was great. The breakfast was average but it was included so they can't be knocked for that. The room was very quiet. The room redesign was perfect.

What I liked best about Residence Inn was the whole setup of the room. It looked like home but away from home. It had, to me, the comforts of being at home but in a hotel-like setting. The outdoor area was great too.

What was missing, to me, in the room was an oven to cook in.

Easy place to stay right next to the airpot. Appreciated the big room and clean kitchen. And happy the windows opened at least a little. Was only there one night so didn't really check out the facilities.

Room was pretty heavily perfumed.

The breakfast was great had a lot of choices.

Dogs were seen in the the gated pool area getting wet wanted to enjoy the pool/hot sauna but due to health safety and santaity concerns did not. Feces and urine, fleas/Tick with human contact in the water not safe.

The breakfast was varied and delicious. There food was hot and well tended. the fruit was fresh and tasty, The coffee was really good.

There wasn't anything that we didn't like about tour stay at the Santa Barbara Goleta Marriott. There was plenty of places to walk our dog and the pet comfort area was clean and convenient. It was very comforting to be able to have our loveable pet with us on our outing. Thank you for your resolve to make us welcome.

The "Holiday" touches were great: "Elf on the Shelf" and "Hot Cocoa" in the lobby were well received by my family. The location of the hotel was very convenient to the UCSB campus where my daughter needed to be by 9am each day. It was only an 8 minute drive.

It would be nice to have more access to complimentary water. Also the wifi connection to the TV (Netflix) seemed a bit slow. Overall, the experience was great though.

The location for visiting UCSB was excellent in terms of proximity to campus. There are no real dining options within walking distance, so it's a good thing a full breakfast was included. That part was great, and the breakfast area is lovely, with indoor-outdoor seating. The courtyard with pool, firepits, putting green, cornhole, etc was lovely. Very social atmosphere. We brought our dog with us, and staff was very warm and there were plenty of places to walk him. The room, particularly the bathroom, was lovely. Lots of closet space, large desk, and the kitchen area was laid out well.

There were items in the freezer, and no conditioner in the shower, so not sure how meticulous the housekeeping is. The mattress was really bouncy, so if you are sharing a bed, you will feel every single thing your partner does. And with the couch folded out into a bed in the suite, it is really tight. There is not a lot of room to move around. But for a quick weekend trip it was fine. It was also a little freaky to walk into an unoccupied room and have the TV talk to us. Took us a few to figure out how to turn it all off.

Location, friendly staff, room amenities

Bed was very uncomfortable, pillows were too soft and lumpy, wifi went down all day and the pull out sofa was terribly uncomfortable.

The staff was absolutely amazing! The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was ok. The hotel is very nice too, particularly the garden area. Pretty close to the airport and other places we needed to visit.

I wish the breakfast would have had more fruit options.

Breakfast was great. Premises were great for the family with kids: lot of entertainment - chess, table tennis, golf. Also was wonderful to have fresh-air fireplace to enjoy the little windy evening.

Price for money - fair. I didn't like much location - I didn't noticed it is near Santa-Barbara Airport. Being myself an enthusiast for aircrafts, but having jetliners flying at 3 am and waking up cause of them - not that enthusiastic anymore :)

Welcoming staff. Exceptionally clean. Great breakfast!!

Location, great delicious breakfast, and services at the front desk ?

Prime location when visiting Santa Barbara. Staff was very polite and welcoming. Lots of parking available.

Quality of breakfast left much to be desired. Insufficient number of towels in our room.
