We stayed here for the kitchen, suite and two bedrooms for our family. We enjoyed our stay overall but for what we paid, I was EXTREMELY disappointed that room service did not clean our room. If we didn’t want room service we would have followed the hotel instructions and left the sign out on our door. We purposefully did not put our aign out so that our room wouls be cleaned and serviced while we were out for the day but nope our room did not get cleaned. Frustrated with this because when we travel, as a mom, this is something I really look forward to. When I called the front desk they told me house keeping had left for the day and they could try and figure something out if we left the room for a while. This did not work for our family. The ping pong table was also warped and paddles were broken. Other than that we did enjoy our stay!

The common gathering areas are a very nice perk for this hotel. There are plenty of spaces to hang out with friends which is a very nice perk for families and friends. We loved being on the first floor with a sliding door to the courtyard which was fun and convenient. It is very close to the airport, well-lit parking lot and hallways, and close to shopping, restaurants, and highway.

Beautiful location and a very short drive to Santa Barbara. Would have preferred to use hotel shuttle service but we arrived at 7pm on the Amtrak and they weren't operating. We walked from the Goleta Amtrak station 10 minutes in light rain with 2 kids under 5. Not optimal but it wasn't brutal, just annoying.
