Review by hotel critic
The location was perfect, just a short walk from Santa Barbara Amtrak, which made traveling around so convenient. the room was beautifully decorated in a relaxed yet sophisticated Santa Barbara style, with beach-themed fabrics and warm woods that made us feel right at home. The housekeeping and laundry services were excellent, ensuring our room was always clean and comfortable. We loved the ample room in our suite, with a spacious dining table where we could gather for meals and plan our adventures in Santa Barbara. the separate queen-size bedroom was a nice touch, providing privacy and comfort for everyone in our little group. the staff was friendly and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed for a memorable vacation. the vibrant paintings of Santa Barbara landmarks by local artist Sue Slater added a unique charm to the room. Overall, our experience at the Franciscan Hotel was exceptional. the mountain views from our balcony were breathtaking, and being so close to the beach and downtown area allowed us to explore Santa Barbara easily. We were sad to leave this little slice of paradise and can't wait to come back for another getaway with our family.
