Isla Vista hotel rooms a the Independent

"Old-school elevator takes a long time to arrive; not ideal if in a hurry, which means carrying luggage up or down flights of stairs. Check-out process was long and tedious because of a discrepancy in the price showing up in the hotel's system; the manager worked to honor the price shown on the invoice I received at the time of booking which was lower than what I was being charged at the time of check-out."

"Nice and quiet, love the shower!"

"Great room, convenient, comfortable bed"

"I requested to have my room available at 12 and they were able to to have it ready for me. Very welcoming environment, the lady at the front was very helpful. Will be coming back."

"Great all around "

"Brand new bathroom, clean, comfortable beds, on-site parking, and easy walk into town! Free breakfast was a little underwhelming, but would 100% stay there again!"

"We enjoyed our short stay here - the courtyard is beautiful. I always wake up first in our family, and it was a nice place to sit and work while everyone else was still sleeping. We arrived very late and had no problem with parking and getting checked in. The room was nice, and overall I would stay here again."

"Nice hotel, updated well. liked the balcony!"

"I needed a quiet, relaxing getaway time and that’s what I got."
