Best Western Plus Carpinteria Inn

Best Western Plus Carpinteria Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here one night and it was great. The room was clean and quiet. Our room was facing the peaceful courtyard. The balcony was spacious and perfect for morning coffee. The freeway noise wasn't bad at all from our room's location, and with the balcony door closed, you couldn't hear it at all. Didn't get to use the pool and hot tub, but they looked very nice and clean. The property itself is gorgeous with Spanish tiles and lots of lush plants. I would come back any time I'm in the area!"
