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.

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.
