the room was clean and staff was nice and friendly. the place is dated and needs major updates. the resturant in 3rd floor was not the quality you want for the prices. the gym was clean but needs some stretching area and items, like roller, bands, cube. would reccomend they remove all the fake plants everywhere.

Rooms were clean. One night we were there a large group of workers also stayed along with an armada of trucks. Some of the trucks took up 5 parking places and left no spots for others! We ate one meal there but the restaurant was almost empty and was creepy. The accommodation was not worth the high price we were charged.

The hotel is conveniently located off the 101. Parking is ample and the layout is good. Our room was clean and the staff is friendly and very helpful. Our only concern was the noise. It seems that because the architecture is a little dated, noise travels easily. If you stay on the first floor be ready to hear every step from above. We also looked forward to soaking in the jacuzzi; but it was out of order. Carpinteria is a nice slower paced town, great place if you want to experience the beach without the big crowds of Santa Barbara.
