We had a two-room suite, with a pull-out couch in the spacious living room, and a large king bedroom and bath the other side of a solid, sound-insulating door. The rooms were quiet, the beds and linens of great quality. We had to catch an very early flight, and the night manager had his houseman deliver us to the airport,... More

We stayed here in a 2 bedroom suite while visiting U.C. Santa Barbara. The floor plan was excellent for our family of 4. One bedroom had a king bed, the other had two queens. The rooms were joined by a door. Everyone was very comfortable. We found some children's jackets left in a closet (and overlooked by housekeeping), and turned... More

We stayed here on business for almost 2 weeks. The rooms are clean, new in Aug 2012. The staff is very accomodating. We arrived without our luggage thanks to the airline, late at night. The front desk clerk gave us anything we needed, they had a stash of samples. When there was any problem, the staff worked quickly to fix... More

We stayed here to visit family in Santa Barbara. We had no problem getting to Santa Barbara from the hotel since it's close to the highway. The hotel is clean and everything is new, particularly the lobby. However, our room was on the ground floor with a view of the parking lot. The cars were so close, it felt like... More

Don't know how it works for the "paying" customer, but as a platinum member (using 100,00 points), be tenacious in what you want. Called 9:30 am in the morning that we were checking in and asked for 2nd floor, courtyard view based on other reviewers. Pulled in at 2pm and they assigned a 1st floor, not sure where. Immediately asked... More

Don't get me wrong, the hotel was very nice. Clearly it has been renovated just recently and they put me in a very nice first floor two room suite. The bathroom was quite large and nice, the bed was very comfortable, the internet worked well, and I had TVs in both rooms making it nice while working and lying in... More

This new Courtyard looks great and modern, with all the lobby features expected of a Courtyard. The outdoor firepit conversation areas are a nice touch in the courtyard, along with a small pool, and the place has a lively, comfortable feel. Staff are enthusiastic and friendly, rooms are new, clean, and well appointed with 2 Queen beds. Conveniently close to... More

Of course, things sometimes go wrong at hotel. This time they went REALLY wrong. I arrived at the Courtyard Santa Barbara Goleta mid afternoon on April 1. Of course - maybe that's the connection - it was April Fool's Day and this stay was a joke - on me. The woman attending the front desk was clearly inexperienced. Instead of... More

This Marriott seems quite new, and so everything still feels fresh. The locals tell me it's only a few years old. If the pricing works for you, catch this hotel while it's still young. My room was well-furnished, with a bed and a couch/coffee table set. There was a pull-out computer desk that had been built into a wall unit.... More
