Isla Vista, Goleta hotel rooms at the Independent

"They had a continental breakfast. There were a ton of dinner options near by. The staff was very polite and they made the check in and out quick and easy."

"We absolutely LOVED everything about this quaint little hotel nestled beneath the palm trees near the beach. The customer service was top notch from the welcome email received right after booking, to the follow up saying they were looking forward to our arrival. Ben at the front desk treated us like family from the moment we walked in, greeting us with fresh coffee, warm cookies and the inside scoop on a map with everything we would want to see within walking distance. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our room was actually a suite with a full living room & kitchenette that included a full size refrigerator, microwave, dishes and even wine glasses. It was super clean with lots of smart upgrades and the bed was super comfy. All the amenities of home. Definitely one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. We will certainly stay there again and tell all our friends to do the same. Thank you Franciscan for being so fabulous! "

"This hotel was amazing. Cozy, intimate and perfectly located. The staff was so friendly and the valet gentlemen were so kind and professional. I would stay here again and again. "

"First time there and everything went smoothly."

"Have been staying at this property for over forty years, and the experience only improves. Beautiful, immaculately maintained grounds provide so much peace, yet still easily accessible to all Santa Barbara has to offer.Employees from front desk, to housekeeping to restaurant staff all so welcoming and accommodating. Will never stay anywhere else-"

"Wonderful view from our ocean facing room and very quiet and peaceful. Pool area was great and very clean. "
