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.

Nice location
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.

Friendly hotel in a great location
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
