The Courtyard Marriott in Goleta ks a perfect hotel for anyone visiting UCSB. It is 5 min from anywhere around campus, shopping and food. The lobby and outdoor space is lovely for reading, working or relaxing. The WiFi is a bit up and down, but you can connect in the right spots. The rooms were spacious with comfy beds and updated bathrooms. The fitness room is well stocked and 24 hrs. The pool closes at 10pm as does most of the dining around the area. There are UCSB hiking/biking trails and beach views within walking distance. And Downtown Santa Barbara is a short 20-30 min drive away. The price is comparable to the hotels in the area, and ceryainly this Courtyard is super comfortable and convenient for anything campus related.

We loved the hotel and its amenities: pool, hot tub, mini golf, fire pit. The location however wasn’t ideal for people who want to explore Santa Barbara (however it is great for people visiting near by college). We wish we stayed downtown Santa Barbara where all the fun things are: wineries, restaurants, museums.
