The place was nice and clean, and the staff were great. But the mattress has to be replaced, at least in my room 231. The old spring mattress was unevenly sagging. Also, one of the curtains could not be opened properly.

Isla Vista Hotel & Travel Guide\n

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.
