The whole decor and layout of the hotel is very welcoming There is a lovely courtyard where drinks are served and there are complimentary drinks from 5pm to 6pm (not Sunday) Absolutely free!

The pool is small and comfortable to sit around Overall one of our best stays in Santa Barbara in a great boutique hotel

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.

Easy walk from Motel 6 on Carpinteria Street to restaurants and the beach. "The Spot" for burgers! Little Dom's for fancy feed. I walked my doggie in her stroller. Grocery store two blocks down the street. Not fancy digs. Just PEACE and QUIET. Nice pool too.

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!
