We loved our stay at the Vagabond Carpinteria South. It's a great location conveniently located to shopping, gas stations and access to the 101 freeway.

The Vagabond Carpinteria South was a great choice to stay 2 nights. The location is convenient with easy access to shopping, refueling gas and was also easy access to the 101 Freeway.

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.

Another nice stay. The room was very clean and we were given a second day refresher, which we didn't expect. Just wish the pool was heated. We will be back.

Friendly staff, and well maintained property. Easy parking. Room was clean and they were happy to accommodate my pets. The room is no frills but had all the basic necessities. Bed was not very comfortable but we managed to get decent sleep.

The front desk staff tried their best to accommodate our room assignment. The place was clean but not if you don't want to take the stairs book early to and request a ground level room.

6/10 Good

The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only negative thing was that other guests were loud, when they walked in the hallway you could hear all the noise and it was disturbing during the night.

The inn was perfect for a budget traveler. The inn has laundry facilities, a refrigerator/freezer in the room and hard surface floors, not carpet. The employees were helpful and friendly. Parking was plentiful. Towels could be better.

If you are here to stay in your room all day, this review is not for you. If you are here to have a decently priced home base for day trips to Ojai, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and beyond, AND to explore Carpinteria, THIS is yoyr place. Comfortable beds. Fridge and microwave. Good pressure in shower. Great place to crash and to occasionally watch movies while recuperating from hikes and walkabouts.
