Really lovely relaxing place to stay. Excellent service. Defiantly would stay again.

We spent the Thanksgiving weekend in Santa Barbara, with a stay at the Franciscan.
The location of the hotel was perfect, being just a block from the beach on a nice street. The hotel itself was nice, with a boutique feel to it, as opposed to a “typical” chain and service was excellent.
The room itself was lackluster given the cost. It felt dated and well used. A wall unit heating/cooler, with the remote clamped in a jury rigged fastener on the wall, the bath was small with obvious signs of repair and relocated fixtures. All of it worked, but felt more like a mid-range motel, not a high end hotel.
All in all, not bad, just not as upscale as one might expect from a high cost property.

The Franciscan Inn exceeded our expectations with nicely renovated rooms that were spotless. Beds were comfy and we loved the very quiet split heaters. Location is fabulous. The staff was very helpful.
We’ll be back!

The hotel was aesthetic, clean, comfortable, and styled nicely to match Santa Barbara. Additionally, to my surprise, the Wi-Fi in the room was as fast as my wired fiber optic connection at home. I needed to work while I was there, and it was perfectly fast.

This is a very nice property and a great location for everything to do in Santa Barbara. The staff are very friendly. The breakfast selection was pretty limited. The room was so sparsely furnished that it was not very comfortable. The TV didn’t have very many channels to choose from.

The Franciscan is a very good hotel. The rooms are spacious, well appointed, and very clean. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic, just a short walk (block & a 1/2 to the beach).
The bed was too firm for my wife and I, so we didn't get as good a night sleep as expected. That's the only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars.

Really like the location of the Franciscan hotel. It’s a five minute walk to the beach, but nestled in a residential community. The grounds of the hotel and the room were very clean. Nice wood laminate floors, and simple but sophisticated decor. The view of the Santa Barbara mountains at Sunset was beautiful. Chocolate chip cookies every afternoon ~ nice touch. Lori. Sept. 2024

So many great things! The location was ideal and walkable to waterside and town sights, the rooms were clean with very quick attention to any minor problems, the staff was superlative (especially concierge Flore), and the free parking and free breakfast, with eggs, sausage, cheesy potatos, danishes, fruit, cereal, etc., were just bonuses!
