Top East Mesa Hotel Reviews

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great and so was management they catered to our needs. The room was clean, pool was nice, and the free wine was a plus. If we ever go back to Santa Barbra this is the place we will stay and so should you."

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"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."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"LOVE this hotel and cannot wait to come back and stay again. The whole place felt like a serene spa with the cleanliness and aromatics radiating throughout the property and each floor. The little details such as the hydration station to refill water bottles and the pump hand soap instead of bar soap made a big difference to me. The decor was immaculate and was basically my vision board brought to life. All of that combined with the perfect location in the middle of State St with walking distance to everything was a dream. We will definitely return!"
