Christina in hospitality is the best! We left my son’s favorite stuffed animal and when I called a couple of days later-Christina was amazing to talk to. We can’t thank you enough for returning Dino to us and in the sweetest way possible-my son was over the moon! We are already planning to come back for another stay. We loved it there!

This was a nice hotel to stay at with a great breakfast included. The room was clean with good amenities, coffee, fridge, and microwave. It is a drive to Santa Barbara, but the cost was so much cheaper here. Carpinteria is a nice town with a beautiful vibe to itself. The biggest bonus was free EV hook-up. I was able to save a lot due to PHEV being charged nightly. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a quiet place to stay. The landscaping was pretty and we'll kept. The room was clean but needs a few cosmetic repairs. And lampshade was broken. The mattress was a bit to hard for my liking but overall I enjoyed my stay and will probably return.

Carpenteria stay

Check in was under par. Both men behind the desk weren’t very friendly. They came across rude and not one smile. They don’t offer breakfast at all. Was close to everything we needed.

Liked: Cleanliness
A couple of things in the room needed repair (curtains did not fully close, door covering fridge had a broken hinge). Shop in lobby had most items out of stock. Atmosphere generally was fine, the hotel busy with families. Location is great, near highway but quiet, and a good beach, and coffee shops in town. Nice exterior—bungalow style, with a few related touches indoors.
