Courtyard By Marriott Santa Barbara Goleta

This hotel was very lovely. The pool area and outdoor area are very nice. There are some restaurants close by and you can even access the beach close by. I"m mostly giving it four stars because the price is so outrageous.

Nice Courtyard. Very good location. Two story, very large property. Not really much benefit to being Titanium Elite. Didn't get an upgrade. No hskpg unless requested. No free breakfast. You get a $10 credit but a breakfast sandwich and a diet Pepsi cost me $18.64.

Very good hotel but it has issues. The most obvious is the expense. I got the best deal available and it was 340 a night. Women should notice the warning about the hotel posted about chemicals used on property can cause birth defects. Restaurant was not open but the Starbucks we. No safes in room although they have one available at the front desk. Marriot has terrible support issues so don't bother with their apps.

BEWARE OF THE NOISE!!! The airport is very close and the planes fly overhead. My kids woke up several times through the night. For $300 a night I would rather stay at a nicer hotel in Santa Barbara. First, the room that I booked was no longer available when I checked in. It was late and I was traveling with two children under two, I was not about to argue all night. Then, I get the bill for 3x more than my bill was supposed to be due to a miscommunication that the hotel regrettable didn't communicate to me :D They just billed me and thought I wouldn't notice. Pretty funny! Then, I speak to a representative that tells me they have a lot of NEW staff that forgot to call me to tell me that they had an issue with payment. WELL you didn't have an issue charging me 3x, but you have an issue sending me an email or calling me?! For over $300 a night I thought I would be treated with a little more respect. I now have 3 transactions from this hotel and have no idea what it is for. I have called the hotel 4x since my stay and the staff is still unclear what the charges are for. I have never had so many issues with a hotel in my life.

The room we were given was full of spiders and the room smelled like adhesive from the glue they were using to resurface counter tops! We all woke up with headaches. One of the worst experiences I’ve had at a hotel. I expect more for 500.00 a night! Never again!!
