    My stay her was short and sweet. The man at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful. I love that parking here is free and located in the heart of Goleta. They serve breakfast which is always nice at a Hampton Inn. They have snacks for purchase and if you forget travel items they have them at the front desk. The room was clean and I have no complaints. They have a microwave and refrigerator in the room.

    Been to Goleta Hampton Inn many times. It's the most affordable hotel in the SB County. The front desk is super helpful (I think his name was Kevin). The entire staff from morning breakfast to hospitality is super helpful. The rooms are clean, quiet and love the free breakfast. Free parking and access to pool. Many restaurants are walking distance. I'm very satisfied as a customer. Thank you Hampton Inn

    I would like to be able to recommend this restaurant because it's very cute and the bartender was…read moreso friendly, but overall it was a disappointment. The food is so-so. I tried the Cali Hummus, shrimp quesadilla and chicken tacos while staying at the hotel the restaurant is in. The tacos were pretty good, but the pita bread with the hummus was burned and the quesadilla was lacking seasoning. The margarita on Margarita Monday was quite good though, so maybe just grab a drink before going elsewhere for food. The biggest problem though is that they don't open on time and the service is overall really spotty. One morning I was down for breakfast 30 mins after they should have opened and the front desk told me it could be 30 mins more because they were still waiting for someone to show up. The next time I tried to do breakfast they were open, but after standing around for a few minutes with nobody in sight, I decided to try something else. Fortunately there are some good options in walking distance. Sunshine cafe and Lighthouse coffee were both enjoyable.

It made me think, this is the type of place I would have my family stay at if they were to visit. The last place we visited made me think I was getting burger week flavor fatigue... until Caya proved me wrong. Caya was our 5th burger of the day and WOWED me! This place was marked as "?" (we weren't sure if we really wanted to try it). Everything about the burger was cooked to perfection. The egg's yolk drips down the burger after you take your 1st bite, the flavor was a beautiful marriage in my mouth and the burger was juicy! At first I thought it was fat on the plate, but upon a closer look it was the burger juice (want to clarify it was not bloody). The jalapeños added a nice texture and slight heat, the chipotle was the perfect sauce for it. This burger is definitely worth trying for burger week!

    We've been to Stow House several times. First was maybe five or six years ago. We were able to…read moretake a tour of the inside of the historic home at that time. That was before we discovered the "Passport 2 History" program. When we did get the Passport and reviewed which spots were in it, I was glad to see this property listed, as an incentive to go back. We made a return visit two months ago, on a warm Saturday afternoon. It was lovely to see the vintage architecture spotlighted against a brilliant autumn sky. Warmer than usual, with no wind, it was a great time to be at the property. There was a young woman covering the gift shop. She told us that while the grounds were open, they weren't able to offer tours of the house that day. "Shortage of docents". I don't know the situation with who currently owns / runs the house - is it a foundation, the City, the County? Many historic properties were deeded by descendants of original owners to local municipalities to be shared with the public going forward. I'm sure that it's a challenge for any legacy property like this to get enough docents lined up, trained, and scheduled. They would mostly be volunteers, after all. While it was disappointing to not revisit the interior of the mansion, we did collect out P2H sticker, then spent time wandering the grounds. That was something we hadn't done previously. The lawn areas and mature palm trees are serene and beautiful. Going around the perimeter of the main house yielded new views I don't recall before. We snapped some photos, then adjourned to the train museum next door. The next time we're in the area, we'll call ahead to see if they are offering tours that day. Might be wise to do the same!

    The knowledgeable and friendly staff at the Stow House ensured that our visit was both informative…read moreand enjoyable. They provided insightful details about the history of the house and its significance to the Goleta community, adding depth and meaning to my tour. Their passion for preserving the heritage of the Stow House was evident, and their commitment to its upkeep was truly appreciated. Inside the house, I was transported back in time as I wandered through the rooms filled with old furnishings and captivating artifacts. The attention to detail in preserving the authenticity of each room was impressive. I found myself envisioning the lives of the Stow family and the lives they used to live. Beforehand, we watched a show "Ghost Adventures" claiming the house was haunted and the stow family members may still live there, which kind of gave the tour a spooky touch. All in all, it is a great way to appreciate what it used to be like here in old town Goleta. Check it out!

Aileen would spend many late nights answering my concerns or making exceptional recommendations to bring my visions of my wedding day to life. When I walked into the reception area for the first time at the Villa Verano Estate, I had tears in my eyes and I was literally speechless. From the flowers to the lighting to the table cloths and all the rentals, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. A special thanks to her team on the actual wedding day because they were absolutely amazing and it went off seamlessly. Her and her team were by my side the entire wedding day constantly assuring me that everything was on track and going as planned, which I didn't particularly see but appreciated so much because I wasn't bothered with one thing. Aileen and her team anticipated what I needed before I even knew that I needed anything. We owe so much of our beautiful wedding day to Aileen! We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator in all parts of the process. She went above and beyond all of the responsibilities in the contract, and you can tell she really loves what she does. Early on in the process, we had already planned some of the wedding ourselves but we didn't have a very cohesive idea for the design side of our wedding. Aileen took the photos we'd saved of things we liked and our thoughts on what atmosphere we were going for and she created a digital design board for us. Her design board included our color palette, layout ideas, and design ideas for every aspect of our wedding from start to finish. It brought all of our ideas together with new ones into one cohesive, beautiful vision. If I could do one thing different it would be that I had found her sooner in the planning process. Thank you again Aileen for taking my childhood fairy tale and making it a reality. -Ashley H.

Our wedding was super small (18 people) and planned in only 4 months and The Factory team was willing to work with us every step of the way to bring our vision to life and stay within our budget (we never felt pressured and they were willing to be creative to help us cut down on cost). The venue can expand and contract to fit your needs and we loved how they were able to create a space that felt cozy and intimate for our small guest count. Especially great when kids are apart of the mix, because there's an enclosed space for them to run around and play. Food from Satellite was top-notch too. Drew was onsite to attend to all of our needs day-of. When in doubt, just book it! You won't regret it. We love The Factory!!

We had toured a lot of venues in our search for 'the one' and we loved The Factory as it provided the perfect backdrop to customize our reception to our own vision. The team was incredibly responsive and easy to work with throughout the planning process, and helped us figure out every detail from our rental order, to food and beverage selection (all delicious), to live entertainment (having Brett & Co. play live jazz for the dinner hour was an incredible suggestion.) Everyone went above and beyond on the actual day to make sure our reception went off without a hitch. Our guests raved about the space and the thoughtfulness of the staff, and we absolutely loved the refined-yet-laid-back vibe The Factory afforded us. Dining and dancing under the stars in their little slice of Santa Barbara is something we could do over and over again. We would absolutely recommend hosting your event here! -Brian & Shaun

This Residence has an unconventional layout compared to other Residence Inn, and although it can seem labyrinthine at first, it got easier to find my day around. The facility seems modern enough, and if you get a room on the first floor facing the courtyard, you can exit your patio door out to the fire pit, lawn bowling (?), giant chessboard, jacuzzi and pool. As a Gold member, I was quite disappointed that the room type I reserved (2 queens, 1 br) was not available upon check in, and I instead got a king studio. I normally would not care as much but I was traveling with my husband and daughter, and the sofa bed was not the most comfortable sleeping situation. The staff were uber friendly as the other reviews pointed out. Breakfast was adequate, and didn't feel crowded even at peak hours on Saturday morning. I'll definitely give this place another try in spite of my mild disappointment. I'll just make sure to call ahead of time and make sure I'll get the room I prefer next time!
