There's nothing like relaxing by the water while you're on vacation. Take a picnic to Lake Isabella and then hang around for an impressive sunset.

This body of water is one of the top free attractions in Wofford Heights. If you're eager to see what's beyond Lake Isabella, we can also recommend Cannell Trail, Kern River Outfitters and Kern River Valley Historical Society.

Pros: good price, nice staff, separate bedroom, very close to the boardwalk and beach, free parking/availability, fridge, microwave, allow pets, good plumbing/hot water. Cons: paper thin walls, uncomfortable beds (can feel the springs), bad WiFi, cheap towels & bedding. It’s definitely a 2-3 star motel but if you’re traveling on a small budget, you’ll appreciate it.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,004 reviews)
It is a good no-frills option in Beverley Hills and close to UCLA. Rooms are ok - beds pretty good, bathrooms are new. There's no restaurant and not much else besides coffee and flavored sparkling water. But it was convenient and not a bad price. Be careful getting parking - the garage is closed on weekends and you have to go into an office building and get let in by a security guard to get your car.

Not a lake worth driving too. We always go for for the river and it’s great waters.
