Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

8/10 Good
"We planned this getaway mainly for our pup, To get away from the fireworks. The hotel is clean and spacious. Plenty of pet parents were staying there and there’s a trail near by to walk. Just a short drive down you’ll see many restaurants and shops."
