Holiday Inn Express & Suites Carpinteria by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Loved our stay here! The room was extremely spacious and clean. The property was well-maintained and we had a quiet nights rest. I did not realize that this was a pet friendly hotel And I kept thinking about our next trip with our dogs. There would be enough room to set up their dog beds and the flooring is pet friendly. Will definitely be back!"

Steps from watching Sunsets in the Sand

8/10 Good
"The condo was clean and in close proximity to the beach and eateries. The condo was quite and felt very safe. It was nice to have a designated parking space, which made it so easy. The host was quick to answer questions. The only issue, it was very hot in the condo due to the weather. Unfortunately, because it is coastal, the condo does not have a/c, only fans. During the time we stayed it was particular hotter than normal, the fans did not seem to help with cooling the place down. However, I imagine that is not the norm. Usually, the coastal areas cool down during the evenings. I do encourage others to stay and enjoy their time at this condo."
