Sandyland Cove Hotels, Carpinteria

"A very quaint and comfortable property located within three blocks of the beach and a half a mile from the Santa Barbara pier. Room was very comfortable with a large king bed small kitchen and small 3/4 shower bathroom, too. Concierge staff, especially Mickey, were very helpful and entertaining with restaurants dining tips etc. However, as a retired commercial real estate appraiser with 45 years experience, the accommodations were overpriced for what was presented. What’s up, kid?"

"The free breakfast was good, had a lot of choices. The shower head needs to be replaced in room 203. The pond and the grounds were beautiful. Loved the ducks which for 50 cents you can feed them. Loved the free toy fish. We will definitely stay there again. "

"Room was clean. Parking was free and a parking garage is available with an elevator that goes directly to the floor your room is on. Complimentary breakfast is offered and included chilaquiles and breakfast burritos along with the usual continental breakfast items. It was the best continental breakfast i’ve had and worth returning for. "

"Great hotel would definitely revisit. Friendly staff, cheap, convenient parking underneath hotel. Nice big buffet breakfast. Comfortable room and very clean. Quiet from any road noise yet conveniently located right off the highway. "

"Close to the art galleries we wanted to see"

"The staff was extremely friendly, and the room (although small) was comfortable. "

"We got there, and check-in was super easy and quick. Staff were helpful and friendly anytime we needed anything. Parking wasn't an issue. Breakfast was the typical continental, and coffee was always fresh and hot. The hotel room was spacious, clean, and had the amenities they said they'd have. The microwave and refrigerator were working. The only issue we had was with the toilet and the shower drain. The toilet didn't always flush, and the shower drain would have moments where the water wasn't going down. We got the family room, so we had three beds and six people, and we never felt crowded. My sister and I both woke up from different beds with red bumps on our chests—bed bugs?! I don't know. The hotel also wasn't far from the highway and places to go and see. Overall, a great stay for our families!"

"Great place."

"Clearly the budget option in sb. It’s fine. Nothing special"
