The property and the room was very well maintained. Beds were comfortable. Good for a motel 6. My only complaint is with the pipes, we could hear loudly every time someone opened the faucet or the shower in the room above or next to us. Luckily, nobody showered in the middle of the night.

This hotel is really conveniently located to downtown Carp and the ocean, about a 10 minute walk either direction. And it was super affordable, especially travelling with a dog. But it was really noisy with doors shutting and whatnot all night, and the bed was really uncomfortable. We slept very little over 2 nights and won't be staying again, even at the great price.

Best beach town in Southern California

We’ve stayed in this hotel on and off for 15 years. We’re always up here looking to buy a home for retirement goals.
My dog loves Carpentaria too.
A very dog friendly hotel with lots of space to walk your dog.
