FIrst time traveler to Santa Barbara. Went with kids and fiance. Looking at deals online, realized Santa Barbara hotels were expensive. Decided to look 15 minutes away to Carpinteria. Great area. Great hotel. Although I paid 130 a night, next door was Motel 6 @ 59 a night. I did however get a continental breakfast, heated pool, working jacuzzi, and... More

This was a nice hotel, very clean. Seemed newer or a newer remodel. It was extremely over priced. Was not really sure why it was so over priced considering the other hotels near it were half the price, and the neighborhood was not a high dollar place just average. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The tv in the... More

Thank you for your review. I am happy you found our staff, facilities and services deserved high marks even if our pricing was high. Based upon the date of your review, I might assume that you stayed over the Memorial Day weekend which is one of our 4 or 5 highest rate weekends based upon the high demand we get... More

It is closed to Camarillo and very good location. I feeled comfortable all through our staying at this hotel. My room located far away from front area so it was not so convenient for us. We feel a little high cost.

I've stayed here a number of times. When it was new, it was a a pretty solid choice. But it's now showing signs of the times. Although "little" things, they add up: unfriendly check-in, stained carpet, REALLY worn and stained upholstery on the furniture, and a cabinet door that won't close completely. My biggest problem this visit is that my... More

I am sorry to hear that we fell far short of your expectations during your recent stay...and ours. We did have a temporary problem with our voice mail system, which has now been resolved. We apologize to both you and your wife for this problem. We are working hard at re-training and re-focusing our staff on providing great customer service.... More

After a long day of travel, this was just the place to stay for a much needed rest. Front desk attendants were friendly and fast. Our room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was very nice, a couple of hot choices as well as yogurt, rolls, toast etc. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Location is not the best due to the fact there are quiet a bit of thugs around the block. Makes you think twice before going out for a walk late at night. The hotel room had its troubles. It took two of us to keep the door open for everyone to come in the room. We asked them to fix... More

Dear just2honest, thank you for sharing your honest observations about your stay. We are working diligently to address the concerns you voiced in your review. Although it is rare for Carpinteria to have any issues with crime, I have personally requested that our local police force do regular drive throughs of our parking lot, especially in the evenings and overnight....

We stayed here one night with our two well-behaved dogs. The room was a nice comfortable size. It was clean and had the usual amenities. The breakfast was typical hotel fare and there was plenty of it. There was even an automatic pancake maker. There was plenty of lawn to walk the dogs. I liked that they charged the pet... More

Stayed here as we thought it was in Santa Barbara but nowhere near. Rooms are dark and horrible. Staff unfriendly and unhelpful. Moved to the Harbour View hotel right on the pier in Santa Barbara for a fraction of the price.

Stayed here for one night in January 2013. The hotel is located close to the highway, so try to get a room faced away from it. The room was okay regarded the price. The front desk was nice, but the breakfast was not very impressive. It is located around 20 minutes from Santa Barbara

The Holiday Inn Express in Carpinteria gives you what you expect. Nice rooms, good front desk staff and good location. Our room was very clean and comfortable and had a huge TV with lots of channels. We would certainly stay here again.
