“Reasonable Price, average room, good location”

Reviewed 7 May 2013 via mobile

We stayed here for a weekend in Santa Barbara. There is nothing special about this Holiday Inn. It is a fine place to stay the night. Coffee shops and Restaurants are walking distance from the Holiday Inn.

“Old AC unit whistled like a jet engine”

Reviewed 5 April 2013

Old, sort of run down property, not super clean. Rooms renovated, but not the old AC unit, which shrieked all night. No free breakfast. Pretty close to the airport, but if I had to do it again I'd stay downtown. Wouldn't stay here again.

Dear Eastnczoobie, Thank you for staying with us. Our hotel is very proud of its level of service, cleanliness and quality of its product and for this reason your comments are very troubling and will certainly be looked into. While we understand that your stay was not 100% satisfactory, we would hope that you would give us another chance to... More

This hotel was fine. The employees were pleasant and professional. Location was good , nearby to eating places and to Santa Barbara and beach. The beds were comfortable and the room large enough.

“Good for the one night”

Reviewed 30 March 2013

We stopped here after driving down the Big Sur. It was clean and close to lots of places to eat which was perfect. The only down side was that as a couple we weren't offered a double room and we got two queen beds. Nice and close to Santa Barbara.

“Good place to stay in the SB area”

Reviewed 25 February 2013

This is our second stay at the Holiday Inn Goleta. It is a typical Holiday Inn in terms of room quality, service, etc. Everything was as expected, with no complaints. Do not hesitate to book here. It is located not too far from Santa Barbara, but our interests were in Goleta with the shoreline walks and butterfly preserve.

We got this lodging on Priceline for $100 per night. We liked the location on Calle Real in Goleta. The Trader Joe's is right across the street. (Several other grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants are also within walking distance.) There is a nice view of the mountains from the pool. It is an easy drive to Santa Barbara downtown, the... More

This is a good value hotel for a quick visit to family. Location is great. Rooms are clean. Parking and Internet access are free. No gym on premises, but you get a free pass to Santa Barbara athletic club. Free coffee in morning. Rooms are reflective of an updated motor inn. And it is fine.
