Isla Vista hotel rooms a the Independent

"Great last minute booking! Beautiful location, clean great customer service! Pet friendly! "

"Clean And friendly staff"

"Thoroughly enjoyed a nice September weekend at Mar Monte. The staff were wonderful: friendly & helpful. I'm from out of State, and found the fresh produce in the restaurants to be outstanding, along with good service. The room was comfortable - firm mattress, with a soft pillow-top, soft pillow, good temperature. They do have a primitive cooling system, which is rather loud. Bathroom & shower were clean & good. The hotel is right across the street from a clean and well maintained beach - safe for walking any time of day. I'd happily stay here again next visit."

"Great property"

"Easy check in, staff was friendly, room was great, goid breakfast, and nice location. I will definitely stay here next time."

"This is a great property with wonderful staff and two nice pools and hot tubs. The hot breakfast is one of the best ones we have had while traveling. Everyone is helpful and makes it an extra special stay. The area around the hotel is in the best part of Santa Barbara and has great shopping and restaurants just down the street. Love this place! "

"Had a great stay for our anniversary. They were kind to give us a free upgrade and the room was very spacious and clean. I didn’t find the bed and pillows to be the most comfortable but I also recognize I am very selective about my pillows. Lol The staff was very friendly and the location was perfect, walkable to everything we wanted! The only downside which didn’t bother us too much but I could see it bothering others, was the bar downstairs/next-door which is very loud. "

"I was so pleasantly surprised by this property. The courtyard was beautiful and it is only about 1/4 mile to the downtown area. Really enjoyed my stay."
