The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is an excellent location and within walking distance of many of Santa Barbara's top attractions. Stearns Wharf and State Street are both about a 15-minute walk away, and you'll find plenty of great restaurants, shops, and entertainment nearby. The property is well maintained, with clean, comfortable rooms, as well as a nice pool and spa to relax after a day of exploring. Parking can be limited, but once you arrive, there's really no need to drive. Most of the area's attractions are easily accessible on foot, making it a great place to stay. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this property."

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property. On the expensive side but well worth it. I got a basic king suite and it was perfect. The pool area was great for the kids with plenty of space and loungers. I loved that they had a staff member whose only job was to offer treats, tennis balls and pup cups to guests with dogs, so cute! 10/10 The young man at the valet was especially helpful and nice"

"check in was chaotic . She gave us a quick overview of the property, which is more of a compound and not super easy to figure out, but failed to provide the map. The biggest issues was the room wasn't ready till well after 4:00. They were supposed to update us, with a call and they didn't. We were left waiting in reception for a half hour and kept having to wait in line for reception."
