friendly staff but it was pretty loud due to kids at pool. Could also hear everything in hallway - weirdly. Very very clean. I moved after one night due to noise. Maybe try to get a room away from the poor. Def. don't be near the elevators - i heard every single noise from it.

We stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott in Goleta. We were in the area for business and this is a relatively new hotel. It is probably the best option in the area. When we stayed there, it has only been open for a short time. The staff were friendly. The rooms nice, good linens. Convenient location.

We stayed here for one night during a college visit to UC Santa Barbara. It's only about 5 minute drive from hotel to the college. Lots of restaurants and stores in the area. The room was clean, and quiet (my pet peeve... I don't want to hear neighbors). Nice bed and linens. Comfortable. Would stay here again without hesitation. Large... More

This is our go to place when we visit Santa Barbara and Goleta. We are "Marriott" lovers and try to stay at Marriott when ever we can. It is a new hotel and very nice. Out by the pool they have a wonderful place to sit and have drinks around a fire pit. Although it is always a bit to... More

My fiance and I flew in for a wine pick-up party, and this hotel was right next to the airport so it was very convenient. It is as nice as any other Courtyard by Marriott. Didn't spend much time in the hotel, but I'd definitely stay here again - mostly because it was so conveniently located. We were also able... More

The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly—both probably helped by the fact that the property is new—but I was most pleased by ways that the Courtyard brand seems to be trying to make life easier and pleasant for guests. The shower was a wide stall (with a door, not a curtain); the door keys worked by waving them... More

Overpriced rooms and non personal service. More like a motel feel but charging prices like a higher end Marriott. Will not return here again and I travel twice a month to Santa Barbara for business. I was on hold for more than ten minutes so I just hung up.

I really enjoyed my night here in Feb. The hotel has only been open for 6 months, so everything is new, clean and fresh. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful. Loved having a courtyard room that opened onto a putting green and fire pit. It even had a sliding glass door so I could get fresh air. This... More

Really quite enjoyable. Nothing fancy but big clean room, good working tv and nice bed. Would have given it 5 out of 5 if the shower was a bit more accessible rather than too low in bath tub. However, all in all, really good value for money. Would certainly return there!

Great location to Santa Barbara! Staff was very nice, hotel very clean. We only stayed a day, but will come back here again. Utilized the fitness center and staff helped with dinner recommendations. Located right off the highway, would suggest requesting courtyard side room for better view.
