Cabrillo Inn at the Beach, hotel in Carpinteria

Located directly across from the beach, this Santa Barbara hotel offers a heated outdoor pool and free WiFi. The Zoological Gardens are a short walk away.

This is a hotel located just across the street from the beach and it is very affordable! It has a retro charm - it's clean, quiet, and everything was comfortable. You can walk to restaurants and there is a heated pool! It doesn't have all the latest updates or a bunch of frills - but it is more than comfortable. Fans are included in each room and the rooms are very clean and comfortable.

    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!

    We have stayed for years on Thanksgiving.

    We have stayed for years on Thanksgiving. We love the hotel, but this year I asked for a disabled room and although the shower tub was much lower my husband still had a hard time. We needed a roll in shower.

    Carp is a lovely little town.

    Carp is a lovely little town. The beaches are nice and linden st is a nice collection of restaurants. It is only 10 minutes to downtown Santa Barbara 20 minutes to Ventura, if you liked to hike, your in for some works class scenery.

    Like I said in the past I love carpenteria Carpenter is great only thing I can't stand about motel 6 over here south, they allow the sheriffs to just drive up in the parking lot and that's against the constitutional rights of the hotel and it's guests (Private Property).. sheriff should not be on the property unless called not driving through the lot looking at people's cars and stuff that's that's against the constitutional rights.. but other than that the carpenter with South motel 6 is my store that's why I like to go, should have more American maids and all that I understand the Mexican thing and all but a lot of them don't understand English man tell me I should I should understand Spanish no no this is America you should understand English 99% of the guests understand English...

    A good suburb of Santa Barbara with good restaurants, beach and grocery shops. A 10-15 minute drive on motorway to Santa Barbara where there is good parking options in the back streets - mostly 90 mins. We managed free parking all day by moving to different areas for our site seeing. Cost if accommodation better value than Santa Barbara but you will need to drive that is the compromise. We ate at the Italian and the Thai restaurant, both were excellent.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Carpenteria! Beautiful little beach town.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Carpenteria! Beautiful little beach town. Good restaurants. Perfect beach and places to walk/hike. We could walk everywhere (beach, restaurants,stores) in town. The fact it’s a short drive to Santa Barbara and Ventura is a bonus. Did not want to leave at all. As a family we agreed we want to make it an annual trip. Carpenteria was exactly what we needed.

    Room was very clean and another guest commented that she also found their room to be very clean. The property itself was very clean and tidy. Towels were provided in the pool area so you didn't have to use your room towels. The pool was at an acceptable temperature. I was nervous since I stay at more expensive hotels but I was pleasantly surprised and for the value this Motel 6 was all we needed and exceeded expectations.

    The hotel location was ideal for our trip to Carpinteria. The staff was super from the front desk to housekeeping. Breakfast was great and one of the big reasons I choose to stay at HIE! I realized when I got home that I had left a pair of boots in my room at checkout. I contacted the hotel and housekeeping had found them and I got my boots back! This location is well maintained and I will certainly stay here again.

    Here is what we liked about the place: Great location, close to everything in Carpinteria. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Nice decor on the outside of the motel with outdoor tables and chairs. Good sized mini-fridge and microwave. Decent selection of TV channels. The beds weren't too uncomfortable, but ours was a bit noisy.

    The view was absolutely amazing!! I have never seen a hotel light up the ocean for the perfect evening ambience. My sister and I sat out on the balcony huddled in blankets to enjoy the evening view. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. She took the time to make dinner reservations for us at Shoal.

    Staff was very courteous upon check In and check out. The entire hotel is squeaky clean. Even though it is near the freeway, traffic noise never interfered with our sleep. The interior courtyard is a lush, unexpected oasis.
