THE POSITIVE SOCIAL IMPACT
The Surfliner Inn represents a collaborative partnership, featuring a privately constructed inn situated on city-owned property. This arrangement enables the city to derive financial advantages from bed taxes and revenue sharing stipulated within a lease agreement. The inn is projected to have a significant economic impact on the Carpinteria economy, estimated at $7 million annually.
By design, The Surfliner Inn adds hotel rooms to Linden Avenue to serve travelers looking to experience Carpinteria for its small beach town charm. Contemporary lodging built in partnership with the community supports the economic health of downtown Carpinteria and its local retailers.
Downtown Carpinteria can thrive with a locally controlled inn contributing to the success of downtown merchants and welcoming visitors with an attractive new inn.
