Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

8/10 Good
"Very basic room, but was clean and a great deal. Low water pressure but water got super hot. Basic bar of soap, so bring your own. Thin walls so bring earplugs, recommend asking for second floor. Maid service did come daily which was nice. Only pool, no hot tub. Lots of parking."
