A great hotel with parking on site and breakfast provided. It’s close enough to walk down to the beach and close to the shops and restaurants. Room was very spacious with two Queen size beds. Friendly staff who provided us with a map of the area and gave us ideas as to where to go. Would have liked to stay longer.

The venue is in fact a Victorian house turned bed and breakfast. The renovation work was excellent and the rooms are very comfortable. The gardens are beautiful and it is not unusual to spot a rabbit and birds during the breakfast on the porch. The breakfast by the way is delicious and clearly cooked carefuly for each guest and not mass produced as in ordinary hotels. The staff is extremely cordial and thoughtful. The house itself is within walking distance from attractions such as the Presidio, the old mission building and the courthouse, and also near State street, where you can find trendy shops. In all, it was the best hotel in my California roadtrip from San Francisco to LA.

Perfect and quit. We had a wonderful cabin for 5 people with great green views and a nice patio. Breakfast and dinner is included. Food is obviously home cooked and very tasty, which we really appreciated after almost 3 weeks on the road. Staff is so welcoming and you almost feel like part of the family. We did a horseback ride up the hills. It was definitely worth the cost and we really enjoyed our cowboy guide telling us about the area.

    Loved the room and the location. The breakfast buffet is definitely more of a snack not a real buffet. However, we were pleased to have coffee available. The wine and cheese, again very basic but a cute touch. Beds were comfortable!

    We were actually working in Santa Barbara but all the rooms were booked up there maybe the last few days of our job and it was a good experience in Santa Barbara and in Carpinteria we stopped by a few stores while we were there and the workers were very friendly.

    When I visit my daughter and grandson in Santa Barbara, I like to have my privacy so I stay here. The dog and i can walk to the beach boardwalk in 20 minutes. There's the tasty burger shack where we share! There are bathrooms. On the way to the beach you will find restaurants and shops. The old doggie is in a nice-sized stroller, so we can bring back goodies. Right next door to the Motel 6 on Carpenteria Street is a grocery store, dollar-type store, and Goodwill too! Have fun!
