Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

8/10 Good
"Iโ€™ve never been to a hotel when they didnโ€™t allow you to check in when you arrived, even if you were a few minutes before check in time. Here they made us line up, outside and wait til โ€œexactlyโ€ 3:00. Then the woman that made us all wait, grabbed her purse and left, leaving one poor guy to check us all in. It was chaos, and tempers flared. Some of the guests had driven a long distance and were tired and just wanted to get to their rooms. Perhaps if you want everyone to check in at once, you should schedule more staff to accommodate them. Or, maybe check in and do the paperwork and if the rooms arenโ€™t ready, the guest could wait a few minutes by the pool. If the rooms are ready, what is the harm letting guest in a little early? I felt really bad for the guy having to check everyone in all by himself."
