Parking was ample and convenient. Only 1 ice machine at the front of the motel. Not convenient when you are placed at the back of the motel. Otherwise, it was only about 5 min from the Avocado Festival.

This is an affordable location if you want to be able to walk and enjoy Carpinteria. I felt self walking at night from town back to the hotel. I would say the hotel is nothing special but I found my room spacious and clean. It was nice that there was plenty of parking.
