Hotels near Ocean House at Bacara Resort in Goleta

A few friends and I stayed overnight at the Leta this past week and it was an incredible escape! It’s so beautiful, both the interior and exterior, and every staff member we interacted with was so kind! The feel of the hotel is so vintage and artistic, and there is no air of haughtiness or disdain that so many hotels can have. I cannot wait to do it again soon!!

The hotel location is good, suitable for self-driving, the rooms are very clean and comfortable, the beds in the twin rooms are large enough to accommodate 2 people per bed. On the second floor, you need to carry your luggage upstairs, but it is a dozen stairs. There was a microwave oven and a coffee machine in the room. I arrived at the store late that night and heated the fast food products in the room.

I stayed here on a recent business trip. The check in was easy and the girl at the desk was quite nice. The hotel is near the airport which was helpful. The rooms are smaller but on par with other Garden Inns. It was a very clean hotel and looked almost new. It was quiet for sleeping.

one of the best affordable hotels in CA

You can order it yourself. The restaurant is delicious The highlight is the pool, you will love the experience here....a large piece at hand. The pool is warm water. The room is classic old money style Health: OK Facilities: Classic Environment: City Centre Service: Soso

The hotel looks very well maintained. My room had a sofa and desk along with the king size bed. Big room for a hotel. The bathroom and sink area are alittle small, but very modern and tiled. The shower was excellent. The pool and jucuzzi were crystal clear and clean. Pretty big pool with a deep end of 8 ft. The location is about 8 minute drive to downtown, but there are several restaurants within walking distance. The area seems nice, don’t let the closed hotel next door scare you away.

Beware of the concealed fees with this hotel. While staying in Santa Barbara, I decided to cut my stay short due to a “atmospheric river” event. Local news indicated that this was going to be a catastrophic event. When checking out, I was told that a one-day penalty fee would be assessed for a change in the length of stay. While a member of a World of Hyatt, I diligently check for penalties related to cancelation etc. Nothing was referred as to an early checkout. You would think that with an approaching catastrophic event, the hotel personnel would have a little compassion and flexibility as to waiving the hidden change penalty. Absolutely not was the hotel’s response. Common sense verses profit margin would be appreciated from this hotel.

Santa Barbara has become massively expensive, yes this is something that’s relatively new over the last three years since I’ve been going quite a lot as my godson lives there. My usual hunt was the Hilton on East Beach. Their prices have become of seen without me being able to find anything below 650 to 900 per night anymore. So, I needed a bit of a budget motel and this came in around $400 with taxes per night, maybe this is a little bit high for the time, but, it may have been because it was a special gay pride weekend. Not sure. I like to be extremely honest in these reviews and it’s no offense to the hotel. I will say that the office staff was one of the highlights because they were gentle and kind of nice. I might say that don’t come early and expect to get a room because they don’t check you in until after 3 PM. I’m not sure why they didn’t let me in because they had rooms clean at my rate, was exhausted from getting up at 4 AM to make it to California. It’s not a huge deal. There is no pool, they have a few bicycles to rent, there is free parking in the motel but I don’t think they have enough spaces for all the guest. This was a plus having free parking. No, this is a single level very budget motel. The door to the rooms open directly into a parking lot. The good thing is these rooms are extremely clean, nice bedding, comfortable pillows, tiny bathroom and closet but the bathroom was immaculate and had a nice modern tiled shower. they have a coffee maker in the room and also serve coffee in the motel little lobby. The coffee is pretty good. They have a very simple breakfast with fresh fruit and pastries and hard-boiled eggs! For me that was a big plus because I love hard-boiled eggs for breakfast. I wasn’t up to my normal physical activity, but next time I will definitely utilize the bicycles which are included with your stay. Overall, this place is a bit charming. I hope I can find a time within the next year to come back and hopefully it won’t be on some very expensive weekend. Location is excellent as everyone says half a block from the beach, West Beach and very close to State Street.
