Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

8/10 Good

"I have stayed at this property 4 to 5 times a year, for the last 9 years. While the faces may change, the staff is always accommodating. It is centrally located in town. Beach access is just a 2 mile walk away. Plenty of restaurants nearby. My only criticism is the rooms are beginning to show there age."

The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This was the last stop on my 9 day road trip and this hotel dar exceeded my expectations. The hotel messed up on my reservation, I had reserved a 2 queen room and when I arrived, it was not available. The hotel game my friend and I our own room each. The room was spacious, sparkling clean and a very comfortable king bed. I loved the bathroom, the lighting was spot on perfect for getting ready. I will certainly be returning to the Leta."

Beachside Inn

8/10 Good

"Location is beyond ideal if you are spending some time in Santa Barbara. Walk to beaches, the marina, shoreline, State Street, Funk Zone etc. Front desk extremely friendly and helpful. Surprisingly good daily breakfast with real eggs and tasty coffee. Do not plan to sleep in though. Carts start rumbling at 8am, and expect loud conversations among the staff. If you understand vulgar Spanish slang then cover your ears. Beds are very comfortable."
