Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

"considering it's an older property it is well maintained"

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

8/10 Good

"All good EXCEPT for lack of an elevator to access upper floors."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Carpinteria by IHG

8/10 Good

"The included breakfast was a great addition."

Casa Del Sol

8/10 Good

"This is an modest, older, but very attractive and well-kept property. It is an excellent value. Beds were comfortable. Our room was small but thoughtfully arranged so that it didn't feel cramped. The Spanish style of the building is pretty and is a good fit for the area. The hotel is walking distance (less than half a mile) to a few good restaurants and a shopping center. It's a short drive to the beach, some walking trails, a skateboard park and a driving range."
