Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

8/10 Good

"The property, while being older, had been updated in a thoughtful and a realistic way. The entire property had been repainted recently, outside and in, and the pool area was clean and inviting. The room had hard surface floor, excellent air conditioning, updated bathroom features. Parking was well lit and secure. Our reservation was not found in the system, a fault of the Expedia group, and the staff located us a room for what our price would have been through Expedia, which was quite high for what we got. My sister paid much less than we did for a double queen room compared to our single queen for our two night stay."
