Nice property. Room was nice. A little noisy from the freeway side but manageable. Breakfast was ok. If you're a coffee snob I'd recommend going to one of the amazing local coffee shops nearby. The hotel coffee was lukewarm and awful. Pool was lovely. Staff was friendly and helpful.

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!

Great location and great jacuzzi. This town is perfect for biking. We have brought our young kids and bikes and we just leave the car and ride bikes to do everything, the beach is so close as are all the restaurants. Small town vibe that is so sweet.

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.
