We LOVED the rooftop bar/restaurant. There’s live music on Fri & Sat nights and the happy-hour prices were super reasonable. The location was perfect with walkable shoppings and restaurants nearby. We stayed here during COVID & the place was exceptionally clean, same is true this time around too. There’s a brewery at a few parking lots behind the hotel. The staff is very friendly too! Great place!!!

I've stayed here several times. It can be noisy depending on who you're next to (the noise travels easily through the walls and vents). The carpets are stained (seems to be the case in every room I've been in). There is some street and airport noise. I turn on the fan (which is loud) to drown it out. If you're not bothered by noise, it's fine. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. Location is good, close driving distance to shops, restaurants and UCSB. Standard HIlton Garden Inn...

What I liked was the hotel is a convenient location to UCSB. Walking distance to Target shopping plaza with several places to eat right across the street. As well as a gas station on the corner. For me, the only downside was having only one exit to the parking which is through the lobby.

We went to Goleta to meet our first grandchild. This Hilton is closest to there my daughter’s house. It was perfect for us, clean, good location, nice employees, free parking, and a rooftop bar!

Staff are very nice. Convenient for Santa Barbara airport. On a busy intersection. Nice rooftop bar/ restaurant . Bit of mold in the shower but otherwise ok. Bit expensive for what it is but perfectly ok.
