Front desk personnel warned us that a party of young adults had booked many rooms at the hotel for the night and it might be noisy. It was one of the worst nights of my life. Loud noise until...

We were visiting UCSB and although my expectations of the hotel - provided the brand name - were not very high, I thought that for the price, we would have a decent and clean room to spend the night; Plus, the location was great for what we needed! When we arrive at the front desk, the person told me that... More

Got into Santa Barbara Airport after midnite because of flight problems. Searched the internet and found this Super 8 to be a mile away from the airport. After the day we had we didn't care where we stayed. VERY NICE! Older Super 8 the has been taken care of and upgraded. Office was locked at that time of night. Girl... More

I don't think I've ever stayed in a Super 8 hotel, even after 50 years on the road, but when I looked at the fares for Santa Barbara hotels in general on Trip Advisor as we drove that way from L.A., ninety six bucks made a very "modest" hotel with outside room entryways look like theRitz For some reason or...

the smallest and barest room anywhere: a monk's cell maybe. At $153/night. I spent less money the following night at the Marina del Rey Hotel in Marina del Rey, in a luxury ocean-view room!!!

We went to Santa Barbara for the UC graduation. We spent June 11 and 12 at the Super 8 in Goleta. The rooms were like other Super 8 motels, but the staff was particularly pleasant (especially Cindy) and the rooms had a "Congratulations on the Graduation" gift of candy and bottled water. The complimentary breakfast was good. They let us... More
