Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara
"The staff were all great, especially at the front desk. I cannot recall their names sadly but everyone who worked there on May 10-12th was great. The room was also nice and decent. These are why I gave even a few scores. However, from what I saw the only wifi option was paid wifi. That is absurd ..."

Frequently asked questions
Recent Goleta hotel reviews by fellow wanderers
The Milo
"Pros: The location of Hotel Milo is perfect! Right across from the ocean/pier! We borrowed bikes from the hotel and biked along the bike path. The pool was almost empty so we were able to use a nice padded lounger. A guitarist performed on the hotel patio and there were drinks for purchase. Cons: The room was super small, had an uncomfortable mattress, had a huge plate glass window in front of the bed, no chair to sit on in the room or dresser to place your clothes."
