Finally found some time to share our experience at The Leta. We were celebrating our anniversary with a weekend stay in Santa Barbara and wanted to bring our dog with us. Looked up pet friendly hotels and decided on The Leta. I emailed asking about a room on the first floor so that it would be easier to let him out, which they were able to accomodate. Upon arrival we were greeted by Mackenzie and she even greeted our dog Spiegel by name. He perked up real fast and was excited to say hi.
We got to our room and there was a cute arrangement for our anniversary and even a dog bed waiting for us. Loved the photo of our pup! The room was perfect for our stay.
There was an area with grass by the pool for our dog to walk around, but the designated pet relief area is in the corner of the parking lot. We just walked him around the neighborhood which was nice.
Overall would stay here again if back in the area. The only down side is that it is in Goleta and to get to the main city of SB you have to drive, but it's only 15-20mins so not bad.
