Top The Mesa Hotel Reviews

Santa Barbara Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the location on east beach but even better was the cozy vibe and the superb staff. There’s a very good restaurant on property also. Great stay!"

Vagabond Inn Carpinteria, CA - Santa Barbara - South

10/10 Excellent

"If you are here to stay in your room all day, this review is not for you. If you are here to have a decently priced home base for day trips to Ojai, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and beyond, AND to explore Carpinteria, THIS is yoyr place. Comfortable beds. Fridge and microwave. Good pressure in shower. Great place to crash and to occasionally watch movies while recuperating from hikes and walkabouts."
