Great spot for exploring!

Had a pretty chill stay, super convenient location! We walked to the Funk Zone for some awesome food and drink options. An evening stroll by the beach was lovely. Staff were super friendly, and those chocolate chip cookies were a delightful touch! Just wish the room wasn’t so noisy. could hear a lot from the neighbors.

great stay but some areas for improvement

The spacious room exceeded my expectations for comfort. The staff exhibited a genuine warmth that made my experience memorable.

The pricing felt steep during peak season.

Target audience practical travelers

So one thing that blew my mind? The mattress was like sleeping on a cloud, absolutely comfortable. And I gotta give props to the staff, Ben in particular, who was super friendly and helpful, like a friendly face you really...  

The grounds are attractive, with a pleasant pool area and the hotel is conveniently located just a couple of blocks from the beach. The King Room was very clean, featuring a comfortable bed and a functional bathroom. However, noise levels can be an issue, especially if you're close to the front where housekeepers start early in the day. While breakfast was included and offered delicious pastries, the pool area felt overcrowded at times, which made it less inviting.

Family suite had a nice kitchen, but room felt smaller than expected.

fantastic base for exploring lovely parks and the beach

I absolutely loved my stay! The hotel is just a few steps from the beach, and the staff made me feel right at home with their warm hospitality. Cruising around and discovering nearby Ambassador Park and enjoying its amazing views was a highlight of my trip.

The salads were crisp, and the dining scene nearby was a culinary treasure trove, with spots like Sambo's and Rudy's Mexican that made our taste buds dance! Plus, the property was clean...  

Perfect stay with friendly vibes

We had a fantastic time during our stay! The location was spot on, just a short walk to the beach and great dining options. Our room was spacious and clean, with fabulous amenities like a hot tub that allowed us to unwind after a day of exploring. The complimentary cookies in the lobby were a delightful touch—couldn’t get enough of them! However, I think a few more breakfast options would really elevate the experience.

The Franciscan had a charming beach décor that exuded warmth, making it feel homey and inviting. It was easy to navigate for seniors, with thoughtful design throughout the property for comfort and accessibility....  

Ideal Spot for Families Looking for Comfort

Our 2-room suite comfortably accommodated three adults and an infant, making it a great choice for our family getaway. The quiet atmosphere ensured we all got quality sleep. Don't miss the complimentary continental breakfast, perfect for starting your day, but bring gluten-free snacks if needed!

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, but

the room felt a bit dated. While I appreciated the complimentary breakfast and the quiet location, some amenities could use upgrading. Despite this, we enjoyed our stay and found the overall experience satisfactory.

The motel had a charming atmosphere and was conveniently close to the beach and dining options. Staff were friendly, and the room was clean but somewhat noisy, making restful sleep a challenge. It was a decent stay overall, but the lack of a microwave and occasional disturbances detracted from it.

i recently stayed at this charming spot in santa barbara and was pleasantly surprised by how great it was. the location was perfect for taking strolls to nearby restaurants and the beach, truly exceeding my past experiences in the area....  

I had a great stay during a wedding weekend. The staff made it easy with an early check-in, which I appreciated. The location was perfect as I could easily walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. It felt nice to get to know the babysitter's...  

It was just a fine choice for strolling in Santa Barbara with outstanding value for money. The cookies upon arrival were a nice touch and made us feel welcome. Consider picking up some snacks nearby, as breakfast options were a bit limited.
