"Great"

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

10/10 Excellent

"Room smelled kind of funky, but I guess that's just the moist coastal atmosphere -- otherwise, everything was clean and functional, plenty of towels, good hot water and good pressure, comfortable bed. Felt safe, plenty of parking, price was right! Would stay here again."
