Santa Barbara Beach beachfront accommodation

The property is pretty and the rooms are large and well appointed. The Lavazza coffee maker was a plus! We enjoyed sitting by the fountain and walking the property. Our night was a bit noisy, as we could hear the baby next door crying, as well as the parents moving chairs and other furniture around. Once they settled, we slept well. The bed was wooden and creaky, but fairly comfortable. The bed next door at the Marina Beach Inn, the sister property, was more comfortable. However, The Franciscan has a more elaborate breakfast, and the protein choices were appreciated. It was a lovely stay overall.

First thing staff, Gloria was great, Super nice, helpful, polite, and willing to go out her way to make guests comfortable. Rooms nice the only thing I didn’t like are the doors, can hear everything outside so I’m sure they can hear everything inside walking by.

This hotel is an excellent place to stay! It is with in walking distance of the beach and restaurants. The staff was amazing - friendly, helpful and courteous. The room was great and the breakfast was very good. I would definitely stay here again.
