I've stayed here a number of times. When it was new, it was a a pretty solid choice. But it's now showing signs of the times. Although "little" things, they add up: unfriendly check-in, stained carpet, REALLY worn and stained upholstery on the furniture, and a cabinet door that won't close completely. My biggest problem this visit is that my... More

After a long day of travel, this was just the place to stay for a much needed rest. Front desk attendants were friendly and fast. Our room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was very nice, a couple of hot choices as well as yogurt, rolls, toast etc. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Location is not the best due to the fact there are quiet a bit of thugs around the block. Makes you think twice before going out for a walk late at night. The hotel room had its troubles. It took two of us to keep the door open for everyone to come in the room. We asked them to fix... More

We stayed here one night with our two well-behaved dogs. The room was a nice comfortable size. It was clean and had the usual amenities. The breakfast was typical hotel fare and there was plenty of it. There was even an automatic pancake maker. There was plenty of lawn to walk the dogs. I liked that they charged the pet... More

Stayed here as we thought it was in Santa Barbara but nowhere near. Rooms are dark and horrible. Staff unfriendly and unhelpful. Moved to the Harbour View hotel right on the pier in Santa Barbara for a fraction of the price.

Stayed here for one night in January 2013. The hotel is located close to the highway, so try to get a room faced away from it. The room was okay regarded the price. The front desk was nice, but the breakfast was not very impressive. It is located around 20 minutes from Santa Barbara

The Holiday Inn Express in Carpinteria gives you what you expect. Nice rooms, good front desk staff and good location. Our room was very clean and comfortable and had a huge TV with lots of channels. We would certainly stay here again.

I stayed at this hotel with my wife and my son while we were on a trip to visit family in the Santa Barbara area. The hotel was clean, quiet, and comfortable, all of the things I look for when I am traveling. The room rate was very reasonable especially considering how much a hotel stay costs in nearby Santa...

We booked this Holiday Inn Express for one night on our way to Northern California. We expected Holiday Inn Express and its value/price factor. The hotel was clean and the rooms are large. It was just an overnight so it filled our need. Breakfast room was clean and food was the typical Holiday Inn Express fare. Our biggest problem was... More
