We traveled to Santa Barbara with a party of 5 including 3 teenagers. We chose this hotel due to the suite option as we had 2 girls & 1 boy. Girls slept on the pull out couch, so it worked out fine. The beds were comfortable, but only doubles, so my wife & I were a bit tight as we're... More

Rooms have balconies/patios and there are lovely amenities, such as happy hour and breakfast cooked to order. Easy-going, friendly, & competent staff. Property is very near UCSB, near enough to Santa Barbara, Solvang, beaches and a casino. Close to freeways but still peaceful, with room to walk and bike. More

This hotel is misrepresented in many ways: it is NOT in Santa Barbara. It is a few miles out of town, in Goleta. It is NOT a bed and breakfast. It is a mediocre motel with a mediocre breakfast and mediocre evening wine and snacks. The reviews on this site are inaccurate and I wonder whether they're fraudelent. This is... More

We stayed at the Pacifica Suites for seven nights. The hotel staff (reception, maintenance, maids, breakfast cooks) were all extremely pleasant. The entire outside looks gorgeous and the overall upkeep of the facility is excellent. We enjoyed the breakfast and the evening wine/cheese reception. Location was ideal for getting to downtown Santa Barbara and our visits to wine country and... More

This hotel is conveniently located near UCSB in Goleta. The surrounding street and freeway on-ramp are not ideal, but the property itself is a bit of an oasis near the airport and other light industrial surroundings. The rooms are suite-style with a separate sitting area. Unfortunately, our only choice was a king bed with a pull-out sofa that was, as... More

The staff is exceptional. Everyone went out of his/her way to assure that our needs were met. We didn't bring our dog on this trip, but we loved that they would have been able to accommodate all members of our family. They are attentive but not nosy or pushy. More

Paid $200 for a night's sleep. Drunks swearing and partying outside our room at 2 am. Hotel gave me $25 compensation. Cheap cheap. A good night's sleep is worth a lot more than that. Sheets on bed did not feel fresh and room was worn. The grounds are very nice and included breakfast of omelette is good. Too grumpy and... More
