Isla Vista 3 Stars Hotels

"We stayed at Hotel Santa Barbara and had a great experience. It seems to have been recently renovated, and the updates were done really well—everything felt fresh, thoughtful, and well executed. The hotel has a very nice, quaint feel. This is definitely not a resort-style hotel, but it’s also not advertised as one—and that’s exactly what makes it work. It fits perfectly with its location right off State Street in Santa Barbara. The staff was great—friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The bed was a little on the firm side, and the pillows were a bit too stuffed for my liking, but that’s purely personal preference and didn’t take away from the overall experience. The location is a big plus: tons of restaurants, bars, and shops are within a five-minute walk, making it incredibly convenient without feeling overly busy or touristy. Overall, it was a solid stay, and I’d absolutely stay here again."

"Staff is friendly, professional and helpful. Room was very clean. Breakfast was adequate"

"Room is clean, staffs are nice, very convenient location, beautiful mountain view. One setback is that the breakfast dining area is way too crowded."
