I recently returned to the Santa Barbara area and was astounded by the change in one of my favorite places to stay. Before I never had a problem with keeping the room cool, breakfast was not disorganized, tables not cleared, and lines all over the place. I did not have to wait for someone to answer at the front desk... more

My wife and I and three young children stayed at the Pacifica Suites for two nights this past week. The hotel had good and bad things about it. First the good : The room is large and is a true "suite" meaning the bedroom is separated by an actual door that closes (as opposed to some "suites" that are only... more

I would not reccommed this hotel for many reasons: Firsly, its advertised as in Santa Barbara when infact its not, its a good 10min drive to downtown the hotel is actually located in a semi industrial/commercial area with no shopping/grocery facilities around. Hotel aparantly offers a free shuttle but only Mon-Friday ??? Secondly, our room had a view of the... more

Just got back from our spontaneous family trip (our family = me, my partner and our two chihuahua mixes) to Santa Barbara, and we loved Pacifica Suites. LOCATION: The hotel, though listed with a Santa Barbara address is actually in adjacent Goleta. Since downtown Santa Barbara is only ten minutes down the 101, beautiful Goleta State Beach is only two... more

Traveled here 4th of july weekend. Not the Ritz but we were traveling with our 2 year old twins so the suites were great. Breakfast was cooked to order with loads of other stuff so that was great and everyone enjoyed the pool. Free parking free internet clean rooms... all of the above equaled a great deal for the santa... more

This hotel was great, and would def. return. The wine/beer reception where it is all free with snacks is wonderful and in the fireside room where it is beautiful. The pool and the hot tub were kept open late for us. Everyone was super friendly and helpful and always asked how you were doing and how your room was. We... more

My husband & I and our son & his wife spent 2 nights at this wonderful resort. I can't say enough about the friendliness & helpfulness of the staff. The breakfasts, described in earlier reviews, were not sumptuous but better than we have experienced at more expensive resorts. We paid $164 each for our pet-friendly rooms which had very comfortable,... more

Where do I begin? We stayed at this hotel because of the reviews and we were VERY disappointed. We paid $187 to have a view of the parking lot and freeway onramp. The freeway noise was ever-present, especially when motorcycles or trucks drove by. We were not happy. We tried to switch rooms but were informed that the hotel was... more

We stayed at the Pacifica Suites as part of our college tour (or as I like to say, our 100 mile march, because we certainly walked that much). Pacifica Suites is extremely dog friendly (up to 40lbs), with a small surcharge of $25. Many hotels charge $100 for a dog. It's also right down the road from UCSB. Be certain... more
