“Clean, comfortable ad quiet hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2013

We checked into the Hampton Inn quickly due to the fact that I am a gold member and had checked in on line, which is a great feature and saves time upon check-in. I was able to request a room in the area I wanted and received a very quiet room towards the back of the hotel. The room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable which I have come to expect from the Hampton chain. We had a great nights sleep. I used the fitness room in the morning which included a couple of treadmills, a bike and an elliptical machine. There was a weight lifting station, weights and weighted balls. The complimentary breakfast included a western omelet, sausage patties, biscuits, yogurt, cereals, pastries, make yourself waffles, oatmeal, fruit, juices, milk and coffee. I would definitely stay here again. The price was a little expensive, but it is Santa Barbara, so was comparable to other good quality hotels in the area.

Room Tip: Ask for a room towards the back of the hotel near the parking lot. It is very quiet in that area.

“Very nice hotel in old town Goleta”

I have stayed an this hotel many times for both business and pleasure. It is a very nice hotel in the quiet part of Santa Barbara area. The rooms are new, comfortable, clean and quiet. The hotel staff are very nice, friendly and helpful. The gym is very nice and wifi is very fast.

The hotel is very close to anywhere in Santa Barbara area.

“One of the best Hampton Inn properties. Excellent staff.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

Went on business. Clean, quiet room. Staff were very helpful and professional. Top notch chain hotel. I forgot my razor and the front desk had a choice of two, very nice. Also, they gave excellent directions. Room was spotless and the top cover was cleaned (apparently for every guest). This is _great_! FAST internet. Food at breakfast is kind of low grade, but typical for free breakfast at chain hotels.

Room Tip: Check out the inexpensive Mexican restaurants nearby, especially the one in the market.

“Fabulous New Hotel A Few Miles from UCSB”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

We stayed here for one night in March 2013. We were in the area to visit our nephew who attends UCSB. We chose the hotel for its close proximity to the campus as well as its new amenities. The hotel did not disappoint. The hotel feels brand new. With modern decor, stylish rooms and ample parking, we were happy with our choice. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the hotel was quiet. You can't go wrong staying here. Although, if your goal is to stay close to UCSB, we discovered in our travels around town that there is a Courtyard by Marriott even closer to campus!

This is a beautiful clean property but it is not on the 101. You will travel about a mile to get there in the town if Goleto near Santa Barbara Cookies on arrival are always a nice touch at the Hampton Good value and friendly staff.
