    We have stayed for years on Thanksgiving.

    We have stayed for years on Thanksgiving. We love the hotel, but this year I asked for a disabled room and although the shower tub was much lower my husband still had a hard time. We needed a roll in shower.

    Carp is a lovely little town.

    Carp is a lovely little town. The beaches are nice and linden st is a nice collection of restaurants. It is only 10 minutes to downtown Santa Barbara 20 minutes to Ventura, if you liked to hike, your in for some works class scenery.

    Like I said in the past I love carpenteria Carpenter is...

    Like I said in the past I love carpenteria Carpenter is great only thing I can't stand about motel 6 over here south, they allow the sheriffs to just drive up in the parking lot and that's against the constitutional rights of the hotel and it's guests (Private Property).. sheriff should not be on the property unless called not driving through the lot looking at people's cars and stuff that's that's against the constitutional rights.. but other than that the carpenter with South motel 6 is my store that's why I like to go, should have more American maids and all that I understand the Mexican thing and all but a lot of them don't understand English man tell me I should I should understand Spanish no no this is America you should understand English 99% of the guests understand English...

    A good suburb of Santa Barbara with good restaurants, beach...

    A good suburb of Santa Barbara with good restaurants, beach and grocery shops. A 10-15 minute drive on motorway to Santa Barbara where there is good parking options in the back streets - mostly 90 mins. We managed free parking all day by moving to different areas for our site seeing. Cost if accommodation better value than Santa Barbara but you will need to drive that is the compromise. We ate at the Italian and the Thai restaurant, both were excellent.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Carpenteria! Beautiful little beach town.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Carpenteria! Beautiful little beach town. Good restaurants. Perfect beach and places to walk/hike. We could walk everywhere (beach, restaurants,stores) in town. The fact it’s a short drive to Santa Barbara and Ventura is a bonus. Did not want to leave at all. As a family we agreed we want to make it an annual trip. Carpenteria was exactly what we needed.

    We didn't stay at Carpinteria for sight seeing.

    We didn't stay at Carpinteria for sight seeing. We only spent the night for the room and drove to Santa Barabara instead. My husband and I wanted a romantic weekend getaway and found Carpinteria had more economical hotel to spend the night than Santa Barbara.

    The room was really large and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. They give you four pillows.... two soft and two hard. I discovered that soft is right for me. We absolutely loved our time here. The heated pool and hot tub were wonderful too. The free breakfast was good. We also really enjoyed our horseback ride on the beautiful Carpinteria Beach in the late afternoon with Summerland Beach rides. They are about a 15 minute drive from the Holiday Inn Express. We would definitely stay here again.

    I liked the design of the hotel. But this was the most traumatizing experience I have ever had a hotel. Room next to me major domestic violence, breaking things and the hotel staff did not ensure the safety of me and my 10 month old baby, by keeping this individual off the property* I WANT A FULL REFUND or I will be pressing charges* (something I have never done in my life)

    Here is what we liked about the place: Great location, close to everything in Carpinteria. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Nice decor on the outside of the motel with outdoor tables and chairs. Good sized mini-fridge and microwave. Decent selection of TV channels. The beds weren't too uncomfortable, but ours was a bit noisy.

    The view was absolutely amazing!! I have never seen a hotel light up the ocean for the perfect evening ambience. My sister and I sat out on the balcony huddled in blankets to enjoy the evening view. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. She took the time to make dinner reservations for us at Shoal.

    Everything about this hotel was amazing, sure it's a little shabby in the room, but when you are surrounded by the ocean and beaches, the room is just a space to sleep. Brian was amazing and helpful and friendly, the restaurant was fantastic and decent prices. Simple breakfast and coffee was free,

    I like staying in this hotel because of its location that is close to Santa Barbara. I like how the room was nice and clean. I also like how there was housekeeping to keep your room nice a clean so when your back from your adventure you feel relaxed.

    Staff was very courteous upon check In and check out. The entire hotel is squeaky clean. Even though it is near the freeway, traffic noise never interfered with our sleep. The interior courtyard is a lush, unexpected oasis.

    The cost of a hotel, but definitely the quality of a Motel. All a bit tired and dated. Not terrible, and nothing to complain about (other than the high price), but nothing remarkable. Average in every sense
