Nice amenities but a little pricey considering it’s in Goleta vs Santa Barbara city. Easily navigable to destinations and beaches. Reasonably close to wine country and downtown SB. Near campus and the airport

Guest service was great. Shout out to the guy at check in. Did not get his name but he was so nice and helpful. I was nervous we wouldn’t like this place because I thought I booked a one bedroom but it was just a studio. Still felt so nice and enjoyed our time there. Check out was 12 and that’s a huge plus.
