COCKROACHES!!! Not to mention an EXTREMELY rude manager. After making reservations for 4 rooms months in advance, we called the motel to give them our confirmation numbers so that they could put our rooms close to each other. We were told it would be taken care of and then we called a few days before our arrival just to make... More

Don't confuse Carpenteria North and South. We first went into the South by mistake, pleasant staff and NO ROOM to park a truck. Arrived at South and staff were equally pleasant. When we drove around the building to our room it was opposite giant parking bays for full length 18-wheelers with several parked. Inside the room was clean and basic... More

Gotta say that the stay was good, just a little waiting when checking in took the around 15 minutes and an extra 5 minutes to run my credit and provide the key. Room was clean, everything work the only thing that i didnt check was the AC. I rather opened the window cause the room would get stuffy. Plenty of... More

Since this beach town is so pricey, we decided to try the budget place. We were staying in the area to help an elderly relative. The room was minimalist to say the least....small. with strange chairs and vinyl scuffed flooring. Tv mounted on the wall and no dresser or end tables at thebed. There was no temperature control so we... More

Nice clean room with good service...Wood floors seemed like a newer hotel with a big flat screen stuck in to a wall unit...Ok bed, towels, hot water and at $53.00 using a CorporatePlus/ID Number: CP546071 that I got off the internet, a great value if you have or want to stay near Santa Barbara

On a drive from Santa Clarita to Pismo Beach late at night we decided to cut our losses after a long day and stop at the next Motel 6. Fortunately they had room and Roxanne on reception was extremely helpful in locating our Pismo booking, calling ahead and cancelling it for us. The room was clean, functional, and modern. The...

Just spent two nights here and I have to say that I was really not expecting much. I was just hoping it was clean. Not only was it clean, it was surprising comfortable and quiet. When visiting the Carpenteria area in the future, I will definitely be staying here again.

The room was dirty, and smelled musty. We were afraid to walk on the carpet barefoot. The shower had mold. The police arrived in the middle of the night to arrest a motel guest that was under the influence of some type of drug. My kids were scared,we couldnt wait to leave. We will never return.

Rooms are well renovated and quiet nice but a bit small. Domino's and a mall is very near. Wifi is good, TVs have HD and are very new. Pool is accessable during office hours. Bath and beds are new, nice motel.

This motel has a good location but that's it. It is dirty, poorly maintained and just overall yuk. Renovated!?!? Nothing good to say about it now. Thin towels, minimum water pressure, no microwave, no fridge anywhere on the property(!) ... all combine for a lousy stay. Oh did I mention the truckers that park their big rigs in the lot... More
