UC Santa Barbara is close by, and the bike path goes right through the beautiful campus, then out to the coast. You could ride there from the Leta, but we drove to Goleta Beach Park and got the bike trail from there.

Well nobody wants to visit Goleta - but if you need to visit your kid at UCSB it's a great place to stay. A bit expensive for a semi-rural location but it's well appointed.

Goleta is quiet, at least when UCSB is not in session. There are many great food options.

Nothing open in the morning until 8:00. We were there for business and had to leave early, it made it very difficult to start your day when there was nothing open until 8:00

The Calle Real corridor has improved having lived in Santa Barbara before. All traveler conveniences are available.
"The room was very nice, with high, beamed ceilings and the property had a beautiful pond with fish, turtles and ducks. Great for kids. They even have duck food available for purchase - just make sure you bring your quarters."
"Chumash exceeded my expectations. I was a little hesitant with reading other reviews but we were pleasantly surprised. Everything was exceptionally clean and lovely. The room was spacious, comfortable and beautiful. The casino was large and had a lot of options. Although there is smoking permitted, the smoke wasn’t excessive. Dee spent Saturday by the pool and it was great, too.
We ate at the sports bar the first night and the staff were a little lackluster as far as interactions. Just not personable or engaging or even a smile, but the food was great. We ate at Willows the second night and although I had put in my reservation that it was my boyfriend’s birthday, outside of checking in, his birthday was never mentioned. We each had a soup and split a steak and the steak was very tough and flavorless. It was cooked perfectly, but it just wasn’t great. I asked for an N.A. margarita and it was basically a glass of ice and lime juice. I asked if they could add some simple syrup and soda water and it was brought back the same. Our server was great and attentive and was definitely the most exceptional staff we experienced.
The casino was fun. We were playing video blackjack and with the exception of the music being ridiculously loud, we had a great time. We spent a couple hours each evening playing blackjack and came out even. I found a slot I wanted to play and ended up further ahead than I anticipated; I was pleasantly surprised.
Would absolutely stay there again"
"Spacious rooms for our family of four with patio space too.
Bathroom was a little dirty with hairs - that was our only downside.
Pool and jacuzzi great for kids!"
