When I booked through Expedia, total payments included tax & fee but when I checked in the hotel, they charged me another $62 for tax & fee, which in total, I paid $151,16 for these fees, it is unreasonable plus the room charge for this kind of Inn is overpriced. The staff also repeatedly saying that I thought the 3rd party they make less profit. Seems like this was my fault to book with Expedia

Nice family hotel.

Family wedding. We stayed for 3 nights. Our room was spacious. The bed was a little hard for me but the pull out bed was perfect. The room was clean and the cleaning staff were very polite and helpful. Only 1 elevator which was a little inconvenient but not a deal breaker. Warm breakfast, it was good. The eating area very clean. Location is walking distance to several restaurants in Goleta. Plenty of parking. I would stay again!!

This is our second time here. It’s in the heart of Goleta. Walkable to various dining areas. Parking is easy. It’s usually fully booked!! Pool is comfortable and it’s heated. Complimentary breakfast and coffee/hot chocolate. Staff are all nice and respectful. Location is ideal to UCSB, Santa Barbara, Solvang, and within 1-2 hours drive for a day trip. We plan to come back again.
