An outdoor pool with a hot tub is featured at Franciscan Inn Santa Barbara. Modern amenities like a flat-screen TV and free WiFi are provided in all rooms.

Styled in subtle coloured floral or off-white bedding, all rooms feature a contemporary feel and an iPod docking station at Franciscan Inn.

First of all, the hotel is magnificent. Amazing surroundings to our taste and the room is really beautiful and cozy. Location is great, easily walkable towards the beach and the center. During our short stay enjoyed it so much we were sad to leave.

This Santa Barbara inn is located next to Pershing Park and 2 blocks from the beach. The inn offers a daily continental breakfast, an outdoor swimming pool and free Wi-Fi.

Lavender Inn by the Sea features a refrigerator and coffee maker in every guest room. DVD players and free movie rentals are also included in each room. Guests will also receive a welcome beverage.

Very peaceful place with the beautiful garden, complimentary wine happy hour, small fountains, fireplace on chilly mornings and the kind, helpful staff. I got a queen room and it was very comfortable for me as a solo traveler. The room has a fridge, a coffee machine, and a microwave, which were really convenient for me. The housekeeping upon request works totally fine with me. They work really well as well. The assistants at the front desk are helpful and attentive. Many thanks to them. Many of the hotels here don’t provide breakfast so I am glad that breakfast is available. Overall, I loved it. Hoping to come back.

    One main reason for choosing Beachside Inn was being centrally located and the free parking. The free breakfast was a welcomed bonus and hit the spot.

    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 all the years that my husband and I have selected vacation rentals both in the States and abroad, the Bath Inn stood out as exceptional in a number of ways. We both were extremely relaxed and comfortable at the Inn due to the warm and helpful staff, the beautiful surroundings, the delicious breakfasts, cookies and evening wine. The Inn was clean and comfortable; the guests friendly and down to earth. We loved our 4 day stay at the Bath Inn.

    The location of Avania Inn is conveniently located within a 10 - 15 minute walk to the beach and pier. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast (scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, waffles, etc). Staff was friendly and helpful. The room had 3 queen beds which was great for a family of 4.

    Good location with parking and breakfast included. They also offer water and coffee in the lobby 24 hours. We asked for some recommendations for dinner and the friendly young man at Reception gave us a list of all the places the staff had put together. Super helpful.
