Top Eastside Hotel Reviews

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

8/10 Good

"Motel style. It was sufficient. Good for what it is. No complaints."

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location! The staff, maintenance, and housekeeping are all phenomenal. Raffy is a true gem. He takes pride in his job and was the most helpful and accommodating. The only thing that can improve are the amenities. The mini fridge was occupied with ice half its size. We were told it’s a common concern, so they often leak. And there is a $100 charge for a microwave, which didn’t make sense to me. Everything else was amazing and we were pleased."
