Top The Mesa Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding stay and great location"

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"For the price we paid for one night, there should have been a microwave in the room. The pillows were gargantuan and not comfortable. Way too big; at least we should have options for a more comfortable, smaller pillow. Not unreasonable to ask. The TV is difficult to manage. The air conditioner should be easier to manage."
