Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

10/10 Excellent
"A/C was wonderful considering it was extremely hot out and they had a nice pool with lounge chairs. Our fridges mini freezer was not cold enough to keep our ice creams cold so we left them in the office for about 2 hours and I was super appreciative of them for that. Laundry on site as well. Only thing that made me uncomfortable was the amount of men hanging around the premises (they booked there). Anytime I had to go out and grab something from the car etc, I was always being stared at like fresh meat. Super uncomfortable and felt unsafe. Other than thatttt…. A nice, quite, cool/refreshing stay!"
