"The cabin we had was wonderful. Kitchen was stocked so well. It was clean and pleasant. However, if you advertise a restaurant and you are 17 MILES away from everything, that advertised restaurant better be open.

Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We love old lodges. Love the old fashioned vibe, breakfast and walkability to dining and shopping"

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable stay and positive experience while checking in. I experienced exceptional customer care!! I left an heirloom necklace behind when I checked out. The staff found it and returned it to me. I will be forever grateful at their honesty and kindness in making sure I received my property. Thank You!!!☺️"

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Great location on lower State near restaurants, coffee shops, bars, shopping and a short walk to the beach, yet still quiet. Hotel felt newly renovated, rooms have all the necessities including single serve pour over coffee service and tea. Elevator is slow and small, but we only used it when we had our luggage in tow. We used valet parking which was easy and convenient. A great lifestyle hotel that we will definitely book again."
