Learn more about Goleta

Forget the usual beach town clichés – Goleta delivers coastal California without the crowds. At Goleta Beach Park, locals fish from the pier while students relax on golden sand. The monarch butterfly groves at Ellwood Mesa transform eucalyptus trees into living tapestries when thousands gather. University energy flows from UC Santa Barbara into Isla Vista's buzzing streets. Zodo's offers bowling with craft beers – a California twist. Nature lovers will appreciate El Capitan State Beach's dramatic cliffs and tide pools. For a perfect afternoon, grab local tacos and head to Refugio State Beach, where dolphins often appear. The Santa Ynez Valley wine country awaits just over the hills.

"The Sandpiper is our go-to spot when overnighting in Santa Barbara. It’s reasonably priced and convenient for us when visiting family in town. Located on State Street the hotel is close to restaurants and gasoline stations. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and professional and knows us by name. We generally don’t take advantage of the breakfast but know that it’s basic in nature providing coffee, cereal and pastries."

Motel 6 Goleta, CA - Santa Barbara

Motel 6 Goleta, CA - Santa Barbara

8/10 Good
"Parking is highly constrained; when I came in very late only to find no available parking spaces, I had to go to the office for assistance (the attendant was behind the desk very quickly after I entered the office) in order to be directed to spaces available at the bowling alley next door. The motel is very conveniently located near grocery stores, drug stores, various restaurants, and other retail establishments. The TV channel selections was modest and the channel selection process was awkward. A single channel guide with scrolling through 48 channels or so, no premium channel availability."
