Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

10/10 Excellent

"Very good."

Best Western Plus Carpinteria Inn

8/10 Good

"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."

Casa Del Sol

10/10 Excellent

"Most friendly hotel I ever stayed at. Arrived late after desk was closed. Ana was wonderful. I was texted as to where the room key was hidden. Traffic cones were placed in the space in front of my room to keep it available for me. Ok The room was very comfortable with a fridgee and microwave. I will definitely stay again when I return in Jan."
