Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

8/10 Good
"The property has basic components. I especially like hiw the room is spacious and clean. It’s good for the price in the area and parking apears safe. Only problem is the our room is facing the freeway so we can hear the trucks and ambulance or fire trucks but still had a good sleep despite this. It’s close to the freeway easy to find."
