It was a quiet place to stay. The landscaping was pretty and we'll kept. The room was clean but needs a few cosmetic repairs. And lampshade was broken. The mattress was a bit to hard for my liking but overall I enjoyed my stay and will probably return.

Carpenteria stay

Check in was under par. Both men behind the desk weren’t very friendly. They came across rude and not one smile. They don’t offer breakfast at all. Was close to everything we needed.

A couple of things in the room needed repair (curtains did not fully close, door covering fridge had a broken hinge). Shop in lobby had most items out of stock. Atmosphere generally was fine, the hotel busy with families. Location is great, near highway but quiet, and a good beach, and coffee shops in town. Nice exterior—bungalow style, with a few related touches indoors.

Stayed for one night with family. Didn’t find check in process particularly friendly, and were sent initially to a room that was out of service. Breakfast pancake machine was not working. However my kids loved the pool and the bedroom was very comfortable.

Second time we stay at this hotel and the kids love it! Good location, good continental breakfast. Had a small issue on the bill and even though I showed the front desk agent what I should have been paying on here, she just brushed it off and said oh well. Other than that, we had a lovely stay
