The property was nice and convenient for our group. Alondra at the front desk was very friendly and helpful at check in. The 3 stars are for the lack of housekeepers. We could only get towels and garbage emptied, no cleaning of the room, nothing else because they were very short staffed. We also had to put the towels and garbage outside our door ourselves and call the front desk for that service. One day they took our towels and didn’t replace them with clean ones. Rooms were ok but a lot of freeway noise. Get a room facing the courtyard for more peace and quiet. Probably would stay somewhere else next time.

I loved the charm and style of the place, and the central courtyard is great. I was a bit disappointed to request a courtyard room only to find out we did not have a balcony (but rather a corner room with a small window onto the courtyard), so I would warn everyone who wants that to be more clear with the front desk about it. It's great that there's a hottub, but the tub is VERY small and awkward, so be aware of that. The TV in the room was up-to-date with full casting capabilities from our phones, which was wonderful and surprising.

It was a beautiful property with a fountain and a coy pond. It had a very well kept up court yard with tables and flowers. The staff was courteous. It was close to the freeway and the main streets in Carpenteria. We could visit there again.

Stayed here for my daughter's graduation from UCSB. We booked 3 rooms. I find it to be not a great customer experience, when we want to check in about an hour early and were told we would be charged $25/room, even if the room was ready. Not a great way to show you value the customer.

When we checked in, I asked for a quiet room. The person at the front desk told me that they only had rooms facing the busy 101 and that it maybe a bit noisy. She offered ear plugs. I asked for a more quiet room and she said there were none. That was not correct, because we saw empty rooms when we walked to our room. The room was VERY NOISY and we COULD NOT SLEEP. I have been a member of Best Western loyalty program for years and I can't believe that they chose to put us in a noisy room when there were other rooms available!!!! That is not the way to treat your loyal customers. Very disappointed.
