Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious, comfy rooms with big TV, mini fridge & microwave. Very clean & quiet. "

The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property good vibe and the staff were all friendly and the food was good. I was a little surprised that they charged for parking considering it’s outside parking in the more of a motel style parking. Should be free at this facility."

Hyatt Place Santa Barbara

6/10 Okay

"While the rooms were clean and staff was really friendly, I wouldn’t stay here again. The walls are so thin, so you can hear everything. I stayed during a sold out weekend, and the noise was 24/7 between the housekeepers and the guests. The old AC is outrageously loud, both in the room and the hallway. The first floor is terrible. The staff did try to move me to the top floor in a corner room, but I still had guests blasting music next door. The premium room does have better/quieter AC, but it’s just not worth it to stay here. Ultimately, I checked out a night early and left because I did not get any rest with the constant noise. "

The Milo

6/10 Okay

"There were a few ants on our room each day, which was noted to the front desk. Cleaning service tried to come clean our room The first day at 9a and had to tell the 2x to come back later. The next day our room was cleaned by the time we came back at 1p and had to ask for it to be cleaned, seemed odd to have to ask when they tried to get us out of bed the day before. Asked for a late check out on a Sunday and was denied 2x. There were a lot of kids on Saturday night so it was rather loud and could hear them running around. And lastly they offer s’mores but don’t seem to have enough for each room so we were out of luck 2 of our 3 nights. Seems odd to not have enough for each room. Overall outside looks nice and room is small but renovated but don’t think it was worth the price to not get all the features they promote."
