Book a Goleta Cottage

"My stay at The Leta in Goleta was such a lovely experience. The hotel strikes that perfect balance between relaxed California ease and thoughtfully curated style, everything feels intentional without ever trying too hard. Bed was great, the pillows too. Nice products in the room. Very relaxing stay. Overall, it’s the kind of place that feels like a mini escape without needing to go far. I’d absolutely come back."

"Did not use pool or hot tub. Room was dated and the carpets were stained, it had been cleaned but felt dirty. Our bath tub did not empty easily and clogged up. Oscar at front desk was helpful and moved us to another room. Parking was good , we had no problem finding a spot and lighting was good."

"Spa was nice as usual "

"Over many stays, there have been things I've come to expect, I mean, they have been there every visit, like a dresser. My clothes were everywhere because there was nowhere to put them. There was a wardrobe with five hangers, but no shelf or drawers for folded clothes or delicate items. There was no desk or table, and the comfy chairs were gone, too, as were the phone charger and clocks. The heat didn't work, and the new drapes are thinner, so they didn't block out outside noise as well. There is a lot of noise out there. Just not the same."

"Mostly clean room. Some stains on the furniture. Not a huge deal. The worst part was the bed. It was like sleeping on a rock. For $350 a night I expected to at least sleep through the night. Instead I woke up multiple times in pain. Also it's ridiculous they charge $15 a night for parking. They want to nickel and dime you for everything. This place is barely even in Goleta. "

"We have stayed here several times and have found the beds to be comfortable with a good mattress and lots of pillows. The other times we stayed, the rooms seemed new and fresh and clean. The room we had this time had an older carpet and a musty smell and was in a corner without a lot of light. Next time we will specify the room we want. The breakfast was not impressive with mostly sugary pastries, cold and hot cereals. There aren't a lot of healthy options except for some fruit. But it met our needs, was quiet, and the staff is friendly and helpful."

"Clean rooms, and the location is close to small restaurants and shopping centers. "

"Beautifully remodeled and upgraded. The rooms are not very large, yet they are well designed and comfortable. The little details, including tea, coffee, and water bottles were appreciated. My only complaint is that the windows are not sound proof, so if you are on a lower floor and facing State Street it can be a bit loud until 10-11P. The lobby bar/ lounge was enjoyable for an evening snack and beverage. Parking options, besides valet, would be a great add-on option."

"Pros: beautiful hotel! -fancy -close to the beach -great staff service -yummy restaurant on site (overpriced but it was still delicious) -very clean -the heated floors in the bathroom are 10/10 Cons: bugs in room. -We found a couple spiders, one on the bed and a few just in the room. -the bed is very firm. I have a Temperpedic so I’m used to a softer bed and my back really hurt. -The pillows are awful, flat and uncomfortable. For such an expensive hotel, I think the bedding is lacking big time."
