Our HotelPlanner expert reviews of Best Western Plus Carpinteria Inn
Our experts HotelPlanner experts periodically visit and review the hotels we represent in person."Budget friendly group hotel"
Overall score3.5/ 5
A group friendly hotel with the lowest rates in and out of Santa Barbara, most of the time. Has a lot of what most groups are looking for in a hotel property, free Wi-Fi, free parking, mini fridge, on-site laundry, outdoor, Jacuzzi, interior corridors and rooms with queen beds. While breakfast is not included, there is a restaurant/bar onsite on the third floor. The closest freeway is the 101, 10 miles south of Santa Barbara, close to old town Carpinteria, close to the local beach and a short drive to retail stores, grocery store, fast food, and gas stations. It is deal for all group types on a budget and needing/wanting all the amenities.

Verified reviews of Best Western Plus Carpinteria Inn
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently:
"Beautiful but clearly off season."
Overall score3.0/ 5
We splurged on this trip to Carpinteria to stay at the Best Western. The staff seemed less than excited to be there. The vending machines did not work properly and when I asked for help I was told that the staff was "not authorized to work on the vending machines". Both doors in the hotel room were very hard to open and upon exit one of your larger doors was completely off it's hinge and sitting on the floor. The bar server was less than knowledgeable about wine, when I asked her for a sauvignon blanc she asked me "what that was". There are multiple charges from the Best Western on my credit card, for what? I'll have to make that call which should not be needed! We love the Best Western's beautiful courtyard gardens but is the rest worth it?.

"Nice property room not clean."
Overall score3.0/ 5
While the property was pretty my room was not clean at all. The sink did not function and it backed up immediately with any use of water. The area behind the bed and dressers were filthy.
