The place is truly magical and exudes authenticity! Nestled in isolation, the ranch offers a serene and peaceful retreat. The staff welcomed us warmly, making our stay even more delightful. I highly recommend this destination for anyone looking to relax, disconnect from the fast-paced world, and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, surrounded by horses in a stunning environment.

Great location. The hotel is located just next to the wharf and about 15 min away from the center by walking. Restaurants are nearby. Our room was in another complex, close to the main building of the resort as we asked for a quiet room. Beautiful and comfy room.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

We had a fantastic stay at The Franciscan Hotel in Santa Barbara. A special shoutout to Ben – incredibly friendly, helpful, and exceptionally accommodating when we accidentally booked for the wrong date. Everything was handled smoothly and with a smile. We felt very welcome and comfortable from the start. We'll definitely be back – highly recommended!

I would like to start with the positives of this hotel — the absolute highlight is its location. It is right on the oceanfront, with stunning views, and it is conveniently close to downtown Santa Barbara and the pier. The staff was also very friendly and called to confirm our arrival time, which made the check-in process quick and pleasant.
