Preferred Isla Vista hotels

"It was my first time staying here, and it definitely won’t be my last! It’s a very calm inn with a lot of charm to it. It’s walking distance from the beach which I enjoyed. There were also a lot of great amenities like a mini fridge and microwave in the room. You can also borrow bikes to explore SB. The continental breakfast was yummy, and the staff were super helpful and kind. Definitely recommend :)"

"This is a wonderful, independently owned inn located in the center of a very walkable area. The room was recently renovated and felt like we were the first guests due to its spotless appearance. The staff was kind and helpful. The pool and spa were lovely amenities. Everything was great!"

"The bathroom was not entirely clean. The sheets on the bed are very thin, and feel very old, as well as feeling quite rough. The breakfast is average, and coffee below average "

"We had a great time on our trip from the valet to the front desk. Really great service will come back again! "

"Room was very nice. Love the location. Quite. Food and drinks excellent."

"Breakfast was ok"

"Room as clean. Breakfast was good. The gym 2 blocks down was excellent. We will definitely stay at this hotel again."

"The pictures were definitely misleading and shot with a wide angle camera and maybe a bit of touch up. The room was small, dim and definitely did not have the "retro" vibe the pictures are going for. The staff at check-in wasnt rude, but definitely not friendly either. Our biggest issue was with the noise level. None of our neighbors were exessive loud, but the walls and floors were paper thin and we could hear everything, steps, TV and coversations. We had a hard time falling asleep even with earplugs. If this was some kind of cheap motel I would not be upset, however for the price we expected a LOT more. "

"This place was a great stay. It’s a small hacienda style hotel with a nice inner courtyard. Nothing fancy, but nice. I’d give it a 5 star, but we had a small ant problem(which was promptly fixed). The breakfast is very good, and the staff are very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely stay again. "
