Hampton Inn Santa Barbara/Goleta

"I agree with a previous rating: "it is suitable for a short stay." We arrived at SB airport late, bound for Ojai Valley Inn the next day. This property? is NOT that. (OVI)... BUT the price tag is not comparable either, and I question some reviews that I read. I have to say, I googled to see if this Hampton had shuttle from airport, and was alarmed (!!) at the reviews I saw. This site is not worthy of less than a 4-star. The mattress is more soft than we prefer nowadays, the elec outlets are not convenient to bedside or less-than for expectations (exaggerated?) of today's tech eqpt, but -- their staff is friendly/helpful. Common areas and room was clean. (I did not smell.... anything, other than at breakfast) (which was VERY adequate). I would stay there again if another overnight was needed."

"Suitable for a short stay. Breakfast was average. The waffle maker is convenient. However, the lady in the breakfast area was rude and was 10 minutes late to open the door for breakfast. We were on time as we had to hit the road. A few other people were also waiting in the breakfast area."

"Location was good, as it was close to everything. Breakfast was advertised as going from 6-10, but started running out of food at 930 and hotel staff had to be notified before they did anything. Room looked like someone pulled the vanity off the wall and the hotel bately bothered to fix it. Bed sheets and pillows were also relatively low quality. A little dissapointing from a Hilton hotel."

"The bed is not very comply, too soft and worn out. The pillows are not comfortable and very soft. But the worst part was the free breakfast with no food. They did not have any food at 9:40am when 12 people were waiting in line. A guest had to knock and ask the stuff to refill the station. It took 15 min (5 min before closing) for them to bring some food outside. But it was not enough. It was a line of 12 hungry people and they brought out food for 6 people. Do not offer breakfast if you can't service your guests."

"My boyfriend and I stayed here in an impromptu trip. The rooms is nice although I think we we had queen bedding in a king because nothing fit correctly. I can live with that it’s more than enough bed for two people. However, the hot tub bleached my swimsuit and left a rash on my skin. My skin has smelled like chlorine for two days after being in that hot tubs and I hike, sweat and shower. When I sweat my skin burns a little. Like what the hell do you put in there? I appreciate that you are trying to keeping clean but that’s a little absurd. I had a blue swimsuit and now it’s basically pink. It was $120 swimsuit so I am a bit pissed about that. I talked to the hotel staff and they took photos and said they would send it to the manager, but no follow up. They gave us a number to call headquarters. Who then said it’s the hotel manager should take care of it. Who never called us. My swimsuit got even pinker the next day but I took this photo in the bathroom of the hotel room."
