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.
