Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North
"Overall a good experience, but they need to THOROUGHLY clean the air conditioner. The air just stank that came out of it. Smelled like mildew and never went away. We turned it off totally."

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort
"The room needed several maintenance. Food was really bad compared to what they charged. Parking price is insane. Chairs in the room needed cleaning. Not so good, won’t be back here for sure and cannot recommend to someone else. There are better hotels in Santa Barbara."
