Isla Vista Hotel & Travel Guide

If you are researching a vacation in Santa Barbara and are looking for the perfect place to rest and relax in Isla Vista, you'll discover a diverse range of options. At present, Travelocity's user-friendly booking portal has 10 great hotels and rooms within a short drive of Isla Vista's heart.

There are only a small number accommodation options situated within walking distance from downtown Isla Vista. The Courtyard Santa Barbara Goleta is an ideal option as it's a mere 2 miles (3 kilometers) away.

The San Ysidro Ranch can be found about 14 miles (22 kilometers) from the downtown precinct of Isla Vista. Or, alternatively, the Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara is positioned 13 miles (20 kilometers) away. Two other Travelocity-listed options in the Isla Vista area are the Belmond El Encanto as well as the Bacara Resort & Spa.

The larger Central California district is definitely well worth seeing as well. Central California is famous for its valleys and rolling hills. The most popular traveler sites are lighthouses. Enlightened travelers in this section of United States of America enjoy snowboarding.

25 miles (39 kilometers) from Isla Vista, you will find Buellton, which is where you can enjoy Alma Rosa Winery and Vineyards and Mosby Winery. The Santa Ynez Valley Marriott and Quality Inn Buellton are a few of the convenient hotel and apartment alternatives in Buellton. For another option, stay in Santa Ynez Valley, 20 miles (34 kilometers) to the northwest of Isla Vista, where you'll find the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn and Mirabelle Inn and Restaurant. When you visit Santa Ynez Valley, set aside some time to visit the Lincourt Vineyards and Mendenhall's Museum of Gasoline Pumps & Petroliana.

Ensure yourself a sports fix by making a voyage to Santa Maria Speedway, which is located 50 miles (84 kilometers) to the northwest of Isla Vista. Modern visitors who are thinking of checking in to a room close to the game, make a reservation in the Kaleidoscope Inn & Gardens or Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Santa Maria.

For modern travelers planning on flying through Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, you may like to book some accommodation at Courtyard Santa Barbara Goleta, or Pacifica Suites, which can both be found a short trip away.

La Playa Inn

4.0 Travelocity Verified Review
The place is nice and clean. The only problem I had was with one of the night managers. I told him that someone was in parked in the handicap parking space and he said,”that is my car parked, and I park there because the entrance to my office is in front of the Disability parking Space.” My husband is disabled and we need the parking space to fully open the door so he can get out. I’m not going to say what my husband has because it’s a HIPPA violation but it’s the principle to keep that parking space open.

Kimpton Goodland

2.0 Travelocity Verified Review
The rooms are very much like a motel. The lobby has obviously been renovated. The bedding had stains. The faucet in the bathroom was eroding. There were so many little flying bugs in the room. At first I swatted at one, then gradually saw more and more. In total there were about 15-20 of those bugs. The next night there were 2 big spiders! There wasn't even hand soap to wash our hands at the sink. They provided big bottle of lotion, body wash, shampoo, & conditioner, but no hand soap. We are in a pandemic, but even if we weren't...Hand soap is a necessity!! We stayed for 2 nights and both nights we didn't sleep well. We woke up with horrible neck pain because they had flat feather pillows! I used 3 of their pillows at night and still couldn't get my neck to be straight with my spine. It also stated that each room has a record player, but there wasn't one in our room. This place was awful. I'll never stay or recommend this place. They charged us $600 for 2 nights, but seriously this was such a huge disappointment and not worth the amount they charged.
