Top East Beach Hotel Reviews

The Franciscan Hotel

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good
"This is a nice hotel that is close to the beach, the pier, stores and several excellent restaurants. The king bed was very comfortable, but the chairs were uncomfortable and the counter space was small. The air conditioning was noisy and turned on and off during the night. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good with waffles, eggs bacon and sausage, bagels, pastries and muffins. The balcony is really a small patio enclosed by a five foot fence with a small table and two chairs. Overall, it is a good place to stay."

"Friendly staff and clean room with good overall location walkable to main Santa Barbara tourist locations, however directly next to a gas station. The room and property are dated but generally well maintained. Between the decent complimentary breakfast and the pool/jacuzzi area, the stay felt worth the $. Plentiful, complimentary parking is also a plus."

8/10 Good
"It was a fantastic experience, rooms were comfy and clean, bathroom was aesthetically pleasing, the architecture made me feel like i was in another country. The pool and hot tub was very immersive, and the breakfast provided was really well thought of. The only thing I could recommend in the future is that I needed to shave my beard and legs and arms during the trip (I was doing a bike race this weekend in SB), and it was pretty hard to shave effectively without a mirror in the bathroom (I’m not sure if every room doesn’t have a mirror in the bathroom). There was a mirror in the main room but if I shaved in front of there I’d get hair all over the floor in the main room. So I’d recommend a mirror in the bathroom. Other than that it was a phenomenal hotel experience!"

"This is a very charming hotel. The decor surpassed my expectations and the staff is so welcoming, kind and helpful. Breakfast was the cherry on the top. We didn't use the pool bit it looked super clean as was the rest of the installation. Everything was spotless, from the linens to the bathroom and everything in the room. Kudos to the manager for keeping this place like a castle. Definitely will go back to this hotel next time we visit Santa Barbara. Oh! And the beach is a block away. Just perfect!!!"
