We were a little nervous to stay in this hotel, but we needed an inexpensive place that accepted dogs. Surprisingly, it was perfectly acceptable - clean, nothing falling apart, not too loud (we had some mild partiers next door on our second night, but nothing extreme). Yes, they give you only two pillows, and the towels are pretty thin and... more

We booked 2 nights on the Motel 6 website, great price for this location. OK for a few nights, but I wouldn't want an extended stay here. The room had some water damage and mold issues on walls and ceilings, overwise the room was reasonably clean (no bugs). Sheets and Towels are very thin and scratchy. Bed was ok, bedspread... more

We came to Carpinteria for a wedding and ONLY stayed at this motel because the bride and groom sent out cards to guests, telling us they had a block of rooms reserved at a discounted rate. When I made the initial reservation, I was asked for the Group Name and Number, which I gave to them. So far, so good,... more

I just stayed here two nights and I think it was a really good deal. The room was adequate - no fridge, no hairdryer, but clean and the beds were comfortable. The coffee they serve in the morning is just "OK" but its enough to get you going until you can fill up at the Starbucks that is one block... more

Based on the mixed reviews i had some trepidation about staying at this motel. It is very plain. no pictures on the walls, no coffee maker, tiny towels you get the picture. It is very clean. What really convinced me it was a good deal is that every time i asked the desk to have some small item repaired it... more

I just got back from Motel 6 in Carpinteria. Although it is a "no frills" motel, it was certainly clean and comfortable. The motel is located in a tiny beautiful beach area and convenient to a Santa Barbara and Solvang. As for traffic, it is just off the highway, but I thought it was very quiet. If you're just looking... more

My wife and I were goint to attend a wedding in SAnta Barbara and money was a bit tight for us so we decided to spend a night in this area at this establishment. How bad could it be?...I asked myself, this is Carpenteria, a wonderful beach community. I'll say this much, you do get what you pay for. When... more

I've been taking weekend getaways at this hotel for years. The desks clerks have been,by and large, fine...there's always an exception, no matter where you go...the poor desk clerks won't last, if they are that bad. My rooms have always been fine...these are discount motels, they don't furnish all the best like Best Western. There's a niceview of the mountains...very... more

As soon as we arrived to the hotel, we thought, hmm not bad judging it from the outside. The front desk guy was extremely rude. He had no manners what so ever. I could not believe how rude he was. Well, that was only the beginning. The room was a scene out of a bad movie. Total sleeze bag room.... more
