We were passing through and spent one night at the Best Western Plus Carpinteria. Thanks to Trip Advisor reviews, we booked a courtyard room because people warned the other rooms could be noisy. And yes, it is right on the highway! But the beds were comfy and we slept well. We didn't use the pool but we went down to... More

We have friends in Santa Barbara and stay @ The BW each weekend we visit them. It's very clean, functional and well-situated right off the 101 Freeway, making the 10 minute drive to SB a breeze. Worth noting is that if you try to book a room through Expedia, or one of the other travel sites your browser will lead... More

We chose the BW Plus Carpinteria Inn for our one-night stay in the Santa Barbara region. We decided to stay here basically based on the price which was less than half what you would pay for a comparable hotel in Santa Barbara. Reaching the city from Carpinteria is a quick 10-mile drive on 101, so we were able to get... More

We first stayed here a few years ago, liked it and came back. The staff is very nice and the hotel is very easy access to the highway. There is a restaraunt in the hotel and several other good ones nearby. We will stay here againt when visiting the area. More

We stayed recently with our 21month old son. We were looking to stay in Santa Barbara but everything in reasonable location seemed quite expensive. We paid $110 per night from Thursday to Saturday, for king room # 513. Walls are paper thin, though only heard laughter from our neighbor watching tv till about 9pm, and some chatting on bar area...

the tile in the bathroom was crumbling and the wallpaper was peeling up, the hallway carpet was fraying and thin, we were never able to get our card keys to work in the room door without getting them reset by the front desk staff (who always had some reason why it was our fault), the walls were so thin that...

Paper thin walls, my kids and I were able to hear people having sex in the room next to us. To our surprise we saw the General Manger come out of the room after the noise stoped. We were able to smell the marijuana the minute she opened the door. During my stay I call her and stoped at the... More

We had stayed here six years ago and the bed was very uncomfortable but decided to try it again while visiting family. Things have changed and the bed and linens were wonderful. I booked on Priceline and they promised a courtyard room but the hotel, I guess, reserves them for the guests who book through their system. The young man... More

The hotel has a lovely presentation, is clean and modernized. Noise was our biggest issue. The highway noise was nothing compared to the noise from the room above us (we were on the first floor). The floor/ceiling had no sound barrier and we heard every creaking footstep. Unfortunately, the person in the room up there was up most of the... More

This little hotel is beautiful. They have a big mural paint on the lobby, the staff is very friendly. We got a double queen room for one night, around $120USD and didn't include breakfast, so it's a little bit pricey but it is a very cute place to stay. On thing I notice was the floor on the upper level... More
