The Franciscan Hotel - A 3-star West Beach retreat with mountain views and upgraded suites

Located in West Beach, a wide sandy area popular with sunbathers and volleyball players, The Franciscan Hotel combines coastal comfort with practical amenities. This 3-star Santa Barbara hotel features rooms and suites equipped with LED flat-screen TVs, free WiFi, and custom white bedding. Select accommodations include fully stocked kitchenettes with marble bathroom vanities and distinctive slate features. The Edgewater wing houses corner suites with panoramic views and wet bars, while the Western wing rooms offer mountain vistas through wood-shuttered windows. Beach-themed fabrics, serene colors, and original artwork by local artist Sue Slater adorn the interiors throughout the Franciscan. An outdoor pool and hot tub provide recreational options. Situated 0.5 miles from Santa Barbara Amtrak, the property stands within 0.5 miles of MOXI Wolf Museum, Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, and Santa Barbara City College.

Pros

Private balconies available in select rooms with mountain views

Multiple dining options within 984.3 ft, including Sambo's Restaurant and The Neighborhood

Fully equipped kitchenettes feature dining tables that seat up to six people

Newly renovated bathrooms with waterfall shower heads

Cons

No on-site restaurant

Some rooms require accessing second-story locations

“What stands out is the blend of a relaxed atmosphere with updated, comfortable rooms, a winning combination. I particularly like that you're a short walk from both the beach and downtown, with the added perk of on-site bikes. Overall, it strikes me as a solid choice for those wanting to explore Santa Barbara without sacrificing convenience.”
