The entire experience feels relaxed and efficient compared to larger, more hectic airports. The aesthetics of the terminal are especially charming. The building is designed like a large Spanish-style casita, fitting perfectly with the coastal Santa Barbara vibe. From the red tile roof to the warm architectural details, it feels more like arriving at a beautiful California home than an airport.

One thing that makes 0 sense to me is that there is no shuttle to the long-term parking. I'm disabled and can't walk long distances. I had to walk for several minutes from this parking lot, which itself has handicap parking spaces (again, makes no sense to me), to the actual airport. On my way back, I couldn't walk to this parking lot. I was in a lot of pain (nerve pain in ankles), and an American Airlines's employee was nice enough to take me to the parking lot in a wheelchair. Her name is Louisa or Luisa. She rembles Frances Farmer. Please, treat her right. She's a great person. Still, fuck Santa Barbara airport for not being handicap accessible.

Nia just makes United look so good.

AA refunded 500 per ticket, meaning we paid 750 each for tickets that routinely go for 150-225. They told me that the price fluctuates a lot and 500 was sufficient. I have never seen a one way economy ticket for more than 175 in the 2 months since. Terrible terrible company

I really expected more from American Airlines today. I'm a hard person to anger and I got close to…read morethinking about behaving badly (yelling, slapping a fool). Luckily, I'm a classy guy and I'm sitting in my truck right now, and not jail. The thing is, I worked in banking for many years, and I know that solving someone's problems is not only helpful, but it's the right thing to do. I arrived 45 mins before takeoff with only a carry on bag. Santa Barbara has a small and convenient (when hosted by non-moronic kind men and women) airport. Downstairs I tried to check in and the lady said "you better just run up so you don't miss the flight". I got through security and they had only begun boarding. I bought a first class $500 ticket but was treated like I should be punished by smirking rude employees who appeared to get off like rent a cops. Siting policy and telling me I could not board while I watched 50 people walk past me when they simply could have said "your boarding pass should be in your email". I was so flustered it didn't even occur to me. But these people were so excited to kick someone off a flight, they didn't attempt the slightest workaround for someone who bought a "first class" ticket. What does "first class" mean? I'm not a snob. I paid extra for what believe are unkind, unhappy people, who get off on ruining someone's day. I have never understood why someone who doesn't like people works in customer service. They offered to rebook me with the plane sitting there and I ignored them because I had already rebooked, and have my boarding pass ready because the lady on the 800 number simply said "check your email- your pass is there". What idiots. Three people would rather rebook a first class ticket holder than simply print or remind him where his ticket is. They sited policy. I worked corporate for many years- top customer service reps know the exceptions for policy. I guarantee you a different happier person would have let me on because I've seen it happen. I begged the guy. He was half my age, seemed smart, but he was a bullied person and carries his subliminal childhood trauma in his work vest. The original person who told me to run upstairs is the one that screwed me, because she knew the workaround, but never appeared upstairs to complete her helpful mission of getting me on a simple 1 hour flight. This whole thing was so stupid I can't believe it even happened. Who would want to have this happen to someone? He's lucky I'm not a gang member cause this type of policy is going to anger the wrong person which makes airports unsafe for all of us. Get a clue guys - treat people with respect. Shit happens and I wasn't that late. After this flight I will go back to United, because American is starting to look like Southwest. Picture below is my plane leaving without me.

The staff are always incredibly warm and welcoming. I'd especially like to give a shout-out to Tommy, who has gone above and beyond to help us on multiple occasions! The complimentary breakfast buffet is excellent, with a great variety: freshly baked bread and bagels, egg and ham sandwiches, bacon, eggs, plenty of fresh fruit, and yogurt. The kitchen team is very kind and often accommodates guests who arrive a little late before closing. We've also requested gluten-free items several times, and they've always provided delicious GF bread or muffins. The rooms are consistently new, clean, and surprisingly spacious -- they often feel nearly twice the size of comparable hotel rooms. The kitchenette has everything we need to prepare simple meals, and we've even celebrated birthdays "on the road" here. We love the amenities as well. The gym is convenient, and the courtyard area is a highlight with its ping-pong table, putting green, pool, and spa. The location is fantastic: very convenient to everything, yet always peaceful and quiet. Even though the airport is nearby, we've never been bothered by airplane noise (unlike some other places that are directly under the flight path). We will definitely keep coming back, and we highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Goleta or visiting UCSB. It truly feels like a home away from home!
