Top Isla Vista Beach Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Bien todo"

The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing Spacial Place"

Best Western Plus South Coast Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and spacious rooms!"

Motel 6 Goleta, CA - Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Parking is highly constrained; when I came in very late only to find no available parking spaces, I had to go to the office for assistance (the attendant was behind the desk very quickly after I entered the office) in order to be directed to spaces available at the bowling alley next door. The motel is very conveniently located near grocery stores, drug stores, various restaurants, and other retail establishments. The TV channel selections was modest and the channel selection process was awkward. A single channel guide with scrolling through 48 channels or so, no premium channel availability."
