First and foremost, I like my time staying in the Franciscan hotel. So many good things I can say about it: superb customer service from the front desk staff Ben, cozy and elegant interior design of the room, great location with easy access to the beach and downtown area, quiet neighborhood (not facing a busy street), great breakfast, etc. I extended my stay for one more day at the original price. However, both nights I heard noise from my neighbor. First night there’s television noise and second night the couple was having a big fight midnight (I can hear exactly what they said, not that I wanted to). I understand walls are very thin in inns generally, and this hotel is no exception. I was able to ask front desk for help at 11pm before their office hour ended, but shouting and yelling was what we could not control. I still gave an 8/10 for my experience. If you choose to stay here, please be mindful of your volume and DO NOT have a fight at midnight!!!

I liked the prompt service. My husband and I arrived and was given a room that was was not ready to be occupied, meaning the bed was not made and there was trash etc. but as soon as the manager spotted that, he quickly apologized and moved us to a suite at no extra charge. He was extremely concerned about the mistake that had occurred and apologized for the inconvenience caused and took our belongings and settled us in the nice suite. He was extremely professional and very attentive. He even offered a free night next time we need to stay here in Santa Barbara. The room was very clean and had everything you couldn’t find in other pricey hotels. My husband and I will definitely come back and refer this hotel to others!

The location of this property is amazing! So close to the beach, but very quiet! The breakfast in the morning was a nice touch, although they only served an egg option 1 day of our 3 night stay. There was sausage and bacon and pastries and coffee and juice. We went to the pool one afternoon, even though it was January and it was so clean and warm! It was great! The nighttime staff was so friendly when we checked in and made us feel very welcome. Very cute place, and beautiful neighborhood. Everything we needed was walking distance, including State Street. There is a cute little courtyard with a fountain where we enjoyed some wine in the evening. Over all it is a really great place to stay.

Perfect location just a 4 minute walk from the beach and a few blocks from downtown : amazing restaurants, coffee shops, tons of wineries etc . The inn was super clean and very comfortable (great bed, AC, big room with patio in our case), pool area a bit small (it got crowded) but was nice to lay around when we wanted a break. The main office also has a little convenience store of sorts, super practical to get some drinks and if anyone needs snacks, sunscreen, towels… I plan to stay again if I’m in town ! Loved the general vibe.

Great welcome from Ben at Reception. Really comfortable room, though bathroom was relatively small and bedroom was a bit limited in space due to the size of the bed (which was huge and very, very comfortable). The included breakfast was a great way to start the day. The pool and spa also provided the opportunity to relax which was appreciated as we had been on the road for 3 weeks. Onsite parking was excellent and the staff maintain the grounds and rooms to a very high standard.
