This is a good place to stay right off the 101 in Carpenteria. Conveniently located to Linden, the main street of Carpenteria, it is close to all the local restaurants and a shopping center with grocery store. The staff was friendly and the are well kept. Our room was clean and ready to go when we arrived. The minifridge was missing a foot and was leaning over but when we told the front desk about it, they promptly sent someone over to fix it by putting a towel under the minifridge. A good short term fix for our stay but a longer term fix will be needed for the next guest. The front desk gave great recommendations for food in the local area. The pool was a bit small given the number of rooms the hotel hosted. It felt a bit crowded with a handful of people. The breakfast was decent but could have used more fruit options such a grapes, berries, or melons. Only oranges and bananas were offered. Also the juice machine was broken, and for a holiday weekend, that’s a bit disappointing. Finally, the hotel offered free coffee and tea in the lobby which is something more hotels need to do! Overall, very pleased with the experience.
