Perfect. Personnel, infrastrature, facilities and location are very good. We had a wonderful experience in our stay in La Playa Inn. We were in a road trip on the Hwy 1 route, and this hotel was one of the best experience during our journey. Very well located near to the pier and the turistic center. Congratulations.

The place is truly magical and exudes authenticity! Nestled in isolation, the ranch offers a serene and peaceful retreat. The staff welcomed us warmly, making our stay even more delightful. I highly recommend this destination for anyone looking to relax, disconnect from the fast-paced world, and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, surrounded by horses in a stunning environment.

The location in Santa Barbara is perfect, by walking it is easy to reach the city centre with most important shops! and the beach ofc! The rooms are nice and comfy, we even got a small upgrade, so I am not sure if all the rooms have a little outdoor space…

We were actually working in Santa Barbara but all the rooms were booked up there maybe the last few days of our job and it was a good experience in Santa Barbara and in Carpinteria we stopped by a few stores while we were there and the workers were very friendly. Considering we weren't off until late like maybe 10:00 p.m. 11:00 p.m. and we felt very safe thank you

While the location is good, guests should be aware of traffic noise. Room did supply earplugs and "white noise" machine but not expected at $400+ per night. Bed and pillows are way to soft. Of course I am 4 years older now.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

Easy walk from Motel 6 on Carpinteria Street to restaurants and the beach. "The Spot" for burgers! Little Dom's for fancy feed. I walked my doggie in her stroller. Grocery store two blocks down the street. Not fancy digs. Just PEACE and QUIET. Nice pool too.

Beautiful small beach town close to Montecito and Santa Barbara. Do the beaches and take a horseback ride on the beach. Great wine tasting just a walk away. Shops are great as well as the local dining choices. Perfect Romantic Getaway.

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!
