Great for families

My mon, sister and I went to Santa Barbara for a weekend getaway trip on Mother's Day weekend and stayed at Pacifica Suites. The location was great--it was a quick 7 min drive over to downtown Santa Barbara and was easily accessible to major highways. The grounds were beautiful with lush gardens and a centrally-located, gated pool that was great for families. Our suite was comfortable with 2 double beds and a sofa bed, which meant that we didn't have to share a cramped double bed! The included breakfast was also terrific! They had the usual continental breakfast stuff laid out (cereal, yogurt, pastries, hard-boiled eggs), but there were also hot items made to order (eggs, bacon/sausage, waffles, pancakes, omelets, hash browns, toast). Every patron is given a "ticket" upon check-in with the food choices and you just have to give the ticket to the cook when you get to the dining room. Overall, it was a wonderful stay! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars all the way down was because the room was a little run-down and because the hotel was a little pricier than I would have liked (but it was a good price for Santa Barbara.)

Great Family Hotel

This hotel was clean and the staff was great! It is in an obscur area, so don't plan on walking off the property to find anything to do. It was a great place to stay overnight on the way up north. The free hot breakfast was a great perk too! I would request to not face the freeway.

college visit trip

In town for college visit. Large clean room. Breakfast was very good with multiple options. Local pizza place delivered to room after late night arrival. Room was a bit noisy from parking lot and rain dripping. Sink and good sized counter on outside of bathroom made it easier for two teenagers to get ready. Close and easy to get to UC Santa Barbara.

Dining tip: Long walk from hotel

I arrived at the Goleta Amtrak station on a Sunday afternoon. I walked to Pacifica Suites 1.9 miles an easy walk for me but for most I would recommend a taxi or the very convenient MTD bus. On weekdays Pacifica Suites has a shuttle service to and from the hotel. I love the breakfast service but would like the option of on site room service. Loved this hotel overall, though.

Beautiful property, nice big rooms.

About 5-8 miles from downtown, still a decent location. Rooms are pretty big, pet friendly, and nice attention to detail on the property. There's even a historic building that's pretty cool to walk through.
