"It is where we stay when we come to Santa Barbara. It is only a ten minute drive just up the 101 freeway. Carpenteria is a mini version with cute shops and restaurants and a nice easy access beach. The hotel is older but well maintained. The room was nice and comfortable. It had a mini fridge and coffee maker in the room. There is a nice courtyard. There is a restaurant but they do not have a free breakfast. Also they do not clean or make up your room unless you ask the day before. It is within...

"We loved this place , it was a Very nice hotel. The room was clean and nice , location was great for family’s with kids. we wished we would have booked a balcony .. because the ocean views were beautiful!! Only negative - they had some carpets being installed across from us early Friday morning - and there was some partying above us every night until after 2am - Thursday - Sunday ( normally wouldn’t mind but we had our kids with us ). We would stay here again .. just maybe a different room (...

"First, I don't look for fancy in a hotel room. Instead, it's about convenience, location and the service, and this place has all three in spades. The best aspect about staying here was Ameil at the front desk (BTW, he has a college degree in hospitality). Nearly every morning I would get a cup of coffee (local from SB Roasting Company!) and an apple (not gross red delicious but honey crisp), and sometimes a pastry (also local from up north), and I would chat with Amil about all kinds of topics....

"The location of this hotel is very good. It is close to the waterfront of Santa Barbara. We had some trouble trying to understand how to use the heat in the room, and the staff person came up to our room and showed us how to operate the remote for the heater. This was above and beyond what I might have expected somewhere else. And my husband and I appreciated it. While this hotel is a bit older, the decor of the room was up-to-date and appropriate for the setting. We very much enjoyed the...

"Our family really enjoyed the amenities this hotel offered, but were sad to learn the pool was under construction. It’s not the hotels fault, but I’d say Expedia included the closure in very small print that I did not notice when booking, so that was a bummer. I’m sure it will be beautiful when it’s re-opened. We thought the property was so beautiful and grand. Loved having the beach view patio. We really enjoyed taking the bikes down to east beach and enjoy lunch on the beach. The beach...
