The Leta Hotel evokes everything California should be and is. From the Woody car and airstream out front to the laid back lobby with an ever running fireplace and side vinyl record room and finally to the rooms overlooking the classic old school style motel pool.
I booked the Leta Hotel as the primary lodging for myself and my wedding guests about 1 year out - we simply fell in love with it and knew this had to be the spot. It was where our friends and family congregated in the morning over breakfast, laid by the pool and caught up, and grabbed amazing drinks (props to the spicy margaritas). So many guests stated that it felt like a vacation wedding because they could enjoy the Leta in between events.
We stayed in a patio suite and it was perfect! The staff was a dream to work with in terms of adding additional room blocks, outlining important things in the contract, and addressing any and all issues with our guests. Would highly recommend and cant wait to go back!

If I could give zero stars, I would. We stayed here on our wedding weekend. We booked a "suite" 9 months before our wedding. When we went to check in, we were given a room with a couch bed. Not even a real bed. They charged our card and gave our room away. We were able to eventually be relocated into a regular room with a regular bed but had to move to three different rooms over the course of a 4 night stay. The staff was not helpful or sympathetic at all. We live in Santa Barbara and would not recommend this hotel to ANY visitors, ever. We are in the process of disputing our credit card charges as this experience was the worst I've ever experienced. I have NEVER written a google review -- this is the first time. I am really easygoing and generally a happy person; this hotel is awful.

We recently hosted our wedding reception at The Leta and we had such a great experience! The event staff, Jessica and Terell, were so personable, warm, and helpful, and made our day so special! They helped us plan every detail and went the extra mile to make us and our guests feel welcome. We also had a room block at the hotel for our guests and everyone enjoyed the amenities and location.

This hotel has a very nice appearance and appeal from the outside & the rooms are quaint on the inside except:
The rooms smell like raw sewage & the fire alarm goes off randomly and frequently. I stayed here for 12 weeks for work & it was clear that the hotel staff didn't think that I wasn't a priority as a guest.
Getting the housekeeping staff to clean my room once every 7-10 days was like pulling teeth & when they finally made it around to clean my room they took my cell phone charger. I wrote an email to the manager & brought this to the attention of the hotel front desk staff 4 times & nothing was ever done about it.
There's no hotel security to chase away the random tweakers who look through people's cars down in the parking lot.

Such a delightful hotel. The rooms are clean, but really tiny. The staff is friendly. The bar/restaurant are excellent. The drinks are good and the food is absolutely amazing, although overpriced. I would gladly stay here again.
