Check-in was definitely sub-optimal. The card reader/coder wasn't working, so we couldn't get keys. The desk clerk opened the door for us, but obviously we couldn't come and go as we wanted, without having the clerk open the door again. This continued the next morning. I honestly don't recall ever having this issue, so we were definitely unpleasantly surprised...

When arrived at hotel wanted to pay cash, front desk clerk wanted a 120.00 deposit for paying with cash instead of card. I have never heard of such thing while paying in cash found this ridiculous.

The surrounding city of Goleta is very nice to walk around to grab brunch, shop for snacks, or enjoy a nice dinner. The area is very safe and the property was located in a very convenient area that's only a 2 minute drive away from nearby stores. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to stay in Goleta for a weekend trip.

I want to comment about the phone service I had with the front desk agent. He was professional, and courteous, and my request for a disabled room was accommodated when I arrived late at night. Thanks

Man this place is run down. The lady at the front desk was nice enough. The toilet leaks when you flush, the trim in the bathroom is falling apart and there looks to be mold underneath. Definitely some mold on the sink plug. The room is tiny and so dated. felt like I had walked into an old boat…. Mattress quality poor now my back is sore, haha. No way this place is worth $200 a night…. 😆
