Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing staff, the rooms are spotless, and the property is very clean and uncomfortable. There’s no cigarette but no homeless people in the parking lot. It’s the cheapest motel south of Santa Barbara and it is far better quality than Ventura or Santa Barbara hotels for half the price. Just be sure to book before the weekend cause they sell out and you’ll end up with a room along the highway if it’s last minute."

"the room was clean and staff was nice and friendly. the place is dated and needs major updates. the resturant in 3rd floor was not the quality you want for the prices. the gym was clean but needs some stretching area and items, like roller, bands, cube. would reccomend they remove all the fake plants everywhere."

"The check-in was so smooth and they let us check-in early. The exterior and lobby were so pretty and inviting. The room was spotless and smelled so nice. The courtyard view was cute. The pool was sparkling clean. The bed was comfy, and the room was super spacious. The shampoo, body wash, and conditioner smelled so nice. Breakfast was nice. Standard hotel breakfast.
