3.5 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very Good, (338)
"Super easy check in. Great aesthetic. People seem to complain on reviews about the cozy room size but it's definitely enough space if you're not planning to spend all day on your room. I found Drift on Design Hotel's website. They never disappoint. Location is great but you'll have to be okay with some noise if you're there towards the end of the week/weekends. "

"This was a nice place to stay for a weekend trip. we spent the majority of our time in Santa Barbara but this hotel was well priced and only about 12 minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. the ton itself, Carpinteria is also very cute. the hotel was nice and the room was pretty clean. my only real complaint was the road and train noise in our room was a little loud. we put on a white noise app though and slept fine, so an easy fix. Also someone in a room around us was definitely smoking both...
