Ballard Vacations from ￥226,623

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.

We would stay here again anytime we come to Santa Barbara. The staff was very nice and extremely accommodating. They gave us a small bottle of champagne and a really nice letter for my wife’s birthday and our anniversary.

We had a very pleasant day at the Hotel Californian. I would highly recommend it. The location is perfect, and everyone who works there is very nice and helpful. We use the hot tub one day and pool and it was a beautiful view.

Everything was wonderful

Wonderful place wonderful staff great food and amenities
