The breakfast was varied and delicious. There food was hot and well tended. the fruit was fresh and tasty, The coffee was really good.

There wasn't anything that we didn't like about tour stay at the Santa Barbara Goleta Marriott. There was plenty of places to walk our dog and the pet comfort area was clean and convenient. It was very comforting to be able to have our loveable pet with us on our outing. Thank you for your resolve to make us welcome.

Breakfast was great. Premises were great for the family with kids: lot of entertainment - chess, table tennis, golf. Also was wonderful to have fresh-air fireplace to enjoy the little windy evening.

Price for money - fair. I didn't like much location - I didn't noticed it is near Santa-Barbara Airport. Being myself an enthusiast for aircrafts, but having jetliners flying at 3 am and waking up cause of them - not that enthusiastic anymore :)

The staff was absolutely amazing! The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was ok. The hotel is very nice too, particularly the garden area. Pretty close to the airport and other places we needed to visit.

I wish the breakfast would have had more fruit options.

The property was lovely and had enough space to park and walk a dog. The room felt homey (in a good way!) and was super clean.

$150 😭The pet fee was not posted and turned out to be $150. This was almost the cost of the room and we ended up way over budget. I wish we’d known what the $ for “pet fees may apply” was beforehand, because I usually pay $25 or $25 per pet 😭

Very clean very comfortable. Nice staff great location.

The only complaint I would have is the pillows I did not get a good nights sleep. The pillows are too soft. There’s even when you put all of them together you still don’t get like a firm pillow. I had to get one of the pillows from the couches and then put the soft pillow on top of it to get a decent sleep.

Breakfast and staff were great

I thought it was expensive for one night at $812 for a room. Also, there were many technical issues and we had no functioning keys for our room for several hours. This was not the fault of the staff who did all they could to help.
