I loved this hotel because it once was the only one that offered free parking but not anymore. The only perk is the roof top restaurant. Breakfast not worth the $19 per person. Staff is friendly its a very nice hotel over all but will probably try another hotel on my next visit.

The staff were very accommodating to our early check in and late check out request. Excellent customer service. One of the two hotels in the Goleta area that allow pets which was super convenient. Loved that along with the large rooms with high ceilings. The rooftop restaurant happy hour was very relaxing and had a variety of options. Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely recommend this hotel.

Parking is not free — I paid $15 per night. The room and pool were both clean. Breakfast was good, but it was not included in the stay and we had to pay for it separately.

Stayed here solo for a quick overnight trip. The hotel was clean, quiet, and comfortable. I had to leave early, but check-in and checkout were smooth. Big plus for the onsite EV charging — super convenient and easy to use. Would definitely stay again when in the Goleta area.

The rooms had amazing black out curtains and even though we were near the highway you couldn't hear the street noise at night. Their outside areas could have been better kept up with cleaning wise as they were pretty dusty especially the pool cabanas and we were there still during the summer traveling season. Also their servers for the breakfasts some were attentive as where others didn't do much at all to explain the process between order breakfast and their Buffet selection. Pillows horrible absolutely flat as pancakes . Overall it was a so-so average experience, expected more from a Hilton hotel

Overall enjoyed the experience, but a few things were not great. Some staff were super friendly and helpful and others were rude. My room had a metal wall in front of the window so there was nothing to look out the window, not even the sky. not even a parking lot. Also, while the AC was cold, it sounded like a truck running.
