This is a hotel located just across the street from the beach and it is very affordable! It has a retro charm - it's clean, quiet, and everything was comfortable. You can walk to restaurants and there is a heated pool! It doesn't have all the latest updates or a bunch of frills - but it is more than comfortable. Fans are included in each room and the rooms are very clean and comfortable.

The hotel location is a 10. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and we were able to upgrade to a nicer room. My only disappointment was the extra $50 per night in fees and the $33 per night parking charge when there was ample parking and we parked ourselves. This should definitely be included in the cost. We literally spent $80+per night extra than we expected.

We loved the old mission and spend a lot of time in the hotel.
I didn‘t like the pier. Everywhere were cars and parking lots instead of nice sitting opportunities. there were a lot of homeless people, too.

Santa Barbara was absolutely beautiful!!!
Santa Barbara was absolutely beautiful!!! It was really lush and green there! The wildflowers were blooming everywhere! The mountains and hills were super lush and green and very beautiful! The Botanical Gardens are incredible and are filled with poppies and wildflowers! The Mission, Courthouse, State Street, Stearns Wharf, and Alice Peck Park are all amazing places to visit! The weather was a perfect 73 degrees for most of my trip, until the last day. The people were all very nice and pleasant to deal with. Brophy's, at the Harbor has the best fish and chips that I have ever had!! There were some whales right off of the Harbor that I was privileged to see! There was also an awesome feeding frenzy that brought in hundreds of pelicans and cormorants to dive into the water at the same time!! It was phenomenal to watch. People who have lived in Santa Barbara all of their lives have never seen anything like it!!! It was an absolutely amazing trip!

We visited in February when unknown to us was the film festival, the weather was perfect, town seemed quiet even with film festival which was a bonus, still able to grab tickets. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, lots with outdoor eating with patio heaters. We enjoyed the SB Whale watching trip we did, small exclusive boat made us feel VIPs and saw plenty of humpback whales. Easy to walk around the town, but also easy to drive and explore neighbouring Montecito

Great place to visit, especially with wonderful weather.
Great place to visit, especially with wonderful weather.
For seafood, Lure is amazing!!! Chad's and Cajun Kitchen are great breakfast spots.
If you are there on Sunday, see the Art/Craft Market at the Beach. Lots of amazing stuff and all the vendors are so friendly.
Also, a huge recommendation to Olive Hill Farms in Los Olivos. Great place for oils and vinegars.
This is a great hotel to stay if you are visiting Santa Barbara. The hotel is located quite close to the beaches and other attractions. The hotel also offers free parking. The rooms are quite spacious and very clean. They also have a microwave and a fridge. Other than that, the room also have a coffee machine and free coffee. The hotel also has an onsite laundry that the guest can use. It also has a restaurant that is open until 8:30pm. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Great hotel and I can recommend it to anyone.
The property is located one street back from the front and pier area of Santa Barbara. The neighborhood was quiet and parking on site was no problem. The suite booked had 2 bedrooms and a well appointed kitchen area. Coffee was on tap in the lobby area & there were fresh cookies every afternoon. The pool on site was warm. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. For the tour we did the Franciscan represented the best value inn we stayed at.
For reasons out of our control we checked in very late and the front desk was so very accommodating, which is just what we needed at the end of the travelling day. The room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. We loved the location and quietness of the neighborhood. We also had breakfast in the restaurant and both the food and service were excellent. When we visit Santa Barbara again, we will definitely book this hotel.
On our 15 day road trip, we stayed at 10 different accommodations. This is by far our favorite and we stayed at some very nice hotels along the way. Room was spacious and well decorated. Bed was comfortable and the balcony was very nice. The location was amazing and we loved being able to cross the street and be on the beach. Staff here was very friendly. We will absolutely stay here again if we are ever back in the area!
Fabulous breakfasts. Great afternoon hors d'oeuvres and wine - did not need to go out to dinner really! Staff were so friendly and helpful. Our room was upgraded without us even asking. Very close to the main street in downtown Santa Barbara - easy walking to restaurants shops and sea front. Gardens surrounding the property were very pretty and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the good weather.
Friendly and accommodating staff. Proximity to the beach and downtown was excellent. Facilities were clean for a motor lodge / motel / inn style property. Free parking (big plus for Santa Barbara!). Wifi worked and had no issues. Excellent coffee by hotel standards. Our Room had a kitchen that accommodated our needs. Heated pool was nice. Replied to all requests / questions via text quickly.
Have stayed in many of the beach-front hotels in SB, and this is the best by some margin. Most are tired old motels that have been jazzed up to one extent or another and charge a fortune for what you actually get. Harbor View is a bit more expensive but much better - a proper 4 star level of furnishing, comfort, etc. I would certainly choose it again.
We had a lovely little cottage with all the amenities, good shower, comfortable beds, tea kettle, fridge, full kitchen. Very close to the downtown, but at the same time quiet and peaceful area. Lovely staff. Amazing breakfast! Highly recommend Cheshire Cat and will return on our next visit to Santa Barbara. This place is a gem!
Clean, central, and highly stylish rooms and a great backyard. Very close to touristic attractions and have a five star restaurant in it. Staff was helpful and very friendly. I would probably stay in the same hotel if i ever visit the Santa Barbara again.
The location was perfect for getting to downtown Santa Barbara and the pier. It was so close to everything. But also not in too crowded of an area. It was nice to be able to drop in and rest in the middle of the day before heading back out.
Location was great, very close to downtown Santa Barbara. Reception was welcoming and they accommodated our request. Motel area was quite clean and easy to get to. Room and bed were comfortable. Onsite parking a plus.
Everything was perfect! The staff was very friendly, the room was spacious and very comfortable, the shower had a good pressure and temperature the breakfast was good and the location near the beach was the best.
The rooms are huge and comfortable. The location was convenient between Goleta and downtown Santa Barbara. The lobby, the restaurant and outdoor area are super cute. And the staff was super friendly!
