It seems things have changed since the reviews of 2006. The sheets were new and clean, the suite we had was nicely decored with modernized furniture. The staff were very helpful. We were involved in a care accident on 101 Fwy in the middle of nowhereland, close to Goleta. Car needed towing. We needed a room for the night. The CHP officers warned us ...

it is so nice and it feals like home!! after we got here we were amazed by how nice it was! you should stay here too.

There's nothing much more to say..
I liked the room, it was comfortable. It was clean.
But if there is anything you are gonna need service for, FORGET about it.
They take your calls, but that's it. They refuse most things calling it company policy, for the rest, they just never do it !!
I have no idea why..
I'd stay there again if I really have to, but would avoid calling the front desk for anything !!

I was very disapointed with Pacifica Suites. Looking at the website you might be seduced into thinking you will be staying at a luxury resort. The hotel had the ambience of a Motel 6. The rooms, while clean, were devoid of character and the bathrooms left much to be desired. Pay the extra $100. a night and stay at the Bacara.

We stayed at Pacifica Suites 4 times, usually in Feb. to attend an athletic event at the University. Our first visit, sheets on King bed had holes in them, and sheet on pullout was not clean, old stains! They replaced King sheets with another holey set.
We overlooked this and tried several more visits since it was so convenient to UCSB. Our last ...

This is one of the hotels listed on UCSB information page for parents attending freshman orientation. We ended up here by chance, when our regular hotel didn't have room. However, after our two-day stay to pick up our son at the end of his freshman year, we hope to be able to book it for all our future visits to UCSB. The rooms are ...

We had a big group staying there (for business) and the service was very poor. The front desk people couldn't handle a few simple requests. The guy handling our reservations "forgot" about his promises to accomodate our group and said it slipped his mind because his boss was out of town. Rooms were nice and comfortable, but the staff was very unprofessional. I would not recommend this place for business.

Though it's about 5-10 minutes north of downtown Santa Barbara, these are lovely accommodatons. Two story buildings set around the Sexton historic mansion. Architecture blends nicely with lovely lawns, mature trees. The rooms were spacious (we had a king bed with full sleeper in sitting area). Perfect for our family of 4. In addition, there is a complimentary hot breakfast and happy hour. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Big rooms, heated pool, and spa, free (and good) breakfast. I travel a ton for business and I'd stay here again -- this is the best in Goleta by far.
