Motel 6 Carpinteria, CA - Santa Barbara - South

10/10 Excellent

"Okay"

Motel 6 Carpinteria, CA - Santa Barbara - North

2/10 Terrible

"I made a reservation, arrived at the location and the name was different, the receptionist said two weeks ago the ownership had changed and nobody decided to let anyone who made a reservation before that was obsolete. Of course when this happened I arrived at 10 pm with a minor in tow and they had no available rooms for the night. I cannot review the location since I never saw any of the rooms. The location still shows as Motel 6 on maps, but if searching Motel 6 Carpinteria the result shows as Vagabond."

Best Western Plus Carpinteria Inn

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location and surprisingly quiet [at least in our room], considering the proximity to the freeway and the abundance of young children present on the property. Our room was pleasant and our request for third floor room with beamed ceiling was accommodated. The sliding door on our balcony would not latch, but we felt safe enough with the chain lock engaged. Our room was not ready at 3:00 PM check-in. We were told it would be about 30-40 minutes and we would receive a call when ready. An hour passed and I went to check on the room--I'd already been given our keys--and the room was ready and waiting for us, no housekeeping in sight, with no call having been made. That was disappointing. Plentiful free parking. The "gym" is serviceable, if you know what you're doing, though a bit smelly. The pool is very small and was filled with boisterous children, with supervising adults blasting music. The jacuzzi was difficult to find and tiny. Neither the pool nor the jacuzzi were appealing due to the crowded and loud environments. Not a big deal, as I thought back on my own childhood family vacations. Let the kids enjoy. Just don't expect a peaceful respite in either facility. As a place to sleep for a night for a "staycation", the hotel is perfectly fine. It's dated and could use a refreshing, but I could stay here again, for the right price."

Casa Del Sol

6/10 Okay

"Staff were friendly. We did not use the hot tub or the dishes in the room. The suite felt odd, doors that were locked and furniture in the kitchen blocking another door. The toilet had poor water flow and the whole place needed repainting or rust removal. The microwave door couldn’t open due to the furniture it was on top of reduced the door’s swing. The suite was good for one night, we liked the garden outside and the proximity of the car to our front door. There were three different tvs which was nice. The floor was very well maintained and the linens were comfortable."
