Hotel Santa Barbara

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South
"My room did not have a microwave or coffee machine. I looked in multiple rooms that had double beds like mine and some had them and some didn't. The A/C unit was loud as well."

Sandpiper Lodge
"The staff was quickly responsive to requests. Room was clean. Staff was friendly. I suppose they could replace the carpet. It was a good value for the price. I have family in Santa Barbara and travel there frequently. Sandpiper is a good option for me. I do wish there were in room safes."
