Santa Nella Hotels

Best Western Andersen's Inn has an easily-reached location right next to exit 407 of interstate 5 (east side), within walking distance of the very limited facilities of Santa Nella. Nearby attractions include Forebay Golf Course (1 mile), San Luis Reservoir (3 miles) and Los Banos Creek State Recreation Area (14 miles). All day dining is available at the on-site Anderson's Pea Soup Restaurant, or the adjacent Wendy's and Subway. The hotel's 93 rooms are on 2 floors, in 4 linked blocks enclosing a central garden with outdoor pool. Free continental breakfast is served.

The small town of Santa Nella has just four hotels of note, all catering primarily to travelers along I-5 which runs close by - for those driving north from Los Angeles (270 miles away), the town is a good choice to spend the first night. The 100 room Quality Inn along Plaza Drive is just positioned north of the interstate (exit 407; highway 33) but far enough away to escape all traffic noise. The inn features a lush, tree-lined garden containing a spa, large pool & bbq/picnic area, and has a peaceful location on the edge of farmland though adjacent to several fast food restaurants. Free full breakfast, a fitness center and guest laundry are the other main services.

Motel 6 Santa Nella adjoins a truck stop along Hwy 152/33, beside a small residential area and an RV site, but otherwise surrounded by open farmland. Nearby natural areas include San Luis Reservoir and Pacheco State Park, while Henry W. Coe State Park is one hour's drive away. Guest rooms are arranged around a courtyard with pool and hot tub, and are accessed by wide corridors around the exterior. All contain a microwave and refrigerator. Wi-fi and morning coffee are complimentary. The best selection of restaurants in the area are 3.2 miles north, beside I-5 (exit 407).

Ten miles south of Gustine, and ten miles west of Los Banos, the Motel 6 is the cheaper of a small group of hotels serving Santa Nella, adjacent to I-5 exit 407; there are several gas stations and fast food restaurants nearby though most of the surroundings are flat farmland. The motel has two floors, exterior corridors, an outdoor pool, guest laundry, and small but generally clean rooms. Free coffee is served in the lobby, and wi-fi is available for a nominal fee. Pets are allowed.
