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.

Loved the beautiful landscaping and architecture everywhere.
Loved the beautiful landscaping and architecture everywhere. Clean city and easy to navigate while driving but MapQuest misguided me numerous times. Excellent ethnic food restaurants. Lots of choices. I’m recommending “Meet Up” Chinese, “Your Place” Thai and “Masala Spice” Indian foods. Meet Up was first place I’ve ever been served by a robot!!!! Very cool!

Santa Barbara has a lot to offer from beaches to hiking mountain biking to sailing and other outdoor adventures. I would have liked to have more time to explore. Relax at the rose gardens at the mission, hike more, beach sunsets and dinner downtown. Getting around is easy. Biking is fun! I would avoid the traffic in the funk zone on Friday night. Park in a paid lot and walk in is what I recommend. Also check out the Farmer’s market downtown on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings. Wishing everyone a great time!

Scenery is fabulous.
Scenery is fabulous. We were there over Christmas and the biggest challenge was finding places to eat that would be open and not fully booked. Several museums were either closed and closed early. Zoo was lots of fun, open on Christmas Day, and a manageable 2-3 hour visit to see everything. Interesting shopping was limited -- go to nearby Montecito to shop if you're looking for higher-end gifts and clothing. For a twisty but spectacular drive over the mountains, plan a 1/2 day trip to Solvang or Los Olivos.
~ Beautiful and historic rooms in keeping with the house.
~ stunning gardens surrounding the property
~ Breakfast was fantastic - a 3 course meal with the main meal something different each day, cooked perfectly alongside fantastic service!
~ Lovely warm scones and cookies served in the afternoon and evening.
~ Complete with fantastic hour d’oeuvres served early evening which varied each day and all delicious
~ turn down service each night
~ relaxing place, quiet and peaceful
~ one of the best hotels in California!!
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.
This is a very cool Very old house with a lot of character. It is in the montecito hills- surrounded by billionaires mansions. The price you are paying is ridiculously low, significantly cheaper than the next option in Santa Bárbara (motel 6). Staff was nice. Garden was cool, though a work in progress still. Overall it’s not a luxury experience but I would definitely come back bc it’s cheap and interesting and comfortable enough.
Excellent hotel in downtown Santa Barbara. Our room was big and sparkling clean, everything new and posh. The room is well equipped with fridge, microwave, kettle, cups, glasses. It even had two TVs. The only thing to add maybe (as the ladies would appreciate it) is a full size mirror. Nice wood/tiled floors. Easy walk to the beach and to restaurants/shops. The complimentary fruit/cookies/coffee in the lobby is a bonus.
The property is not close to downtown but that gave us opportunity to explore other parts of Santa Barbara. It is very affordable compared to other places. It’s quieter where we were at and that made our weekend trip relaxing and enjoyable. The hotel is close to restaurants, bars and coffee shops and as always we like to support local businesses wherever we travel. Thank you Agave Inn!
I liked this hotel. The city of Santa Barbara is such a delight and this hotel was in a central location on State Street, around 5-10 mins walk from the main drag. It’s not a cheap city to stay in and I was impressed with the value of this place. Friendly staff and a clean room with all that you’d need.
Fantastic hotel.Family room very spacious and comfy.Great location for one night with a few places to eat.We took the bikes and cycled into santa barbara and back- this was about 5m each way and a couple of hills with no gears but was beautiful! Great value and highly recommended!
Location is excellent, near the beach and a number of great restaurants nearby. Room service food was the best I've ever had! The rooftop pool and hottub were amazing. We spent most of our time there and loved every minute of it! Our room was spacious and very quiet.
Is it worth $140 a night? Not really. But considering that’s about as cheap as it gets for Santa Barbara, it was a solid stay. Clean enough, comfy enough. Good location, in walking distance of a lot of stores/restaurants and only a couple minutes drive to downtown.
Historic hotel in downtown Santa Barbara, good location, fantastic ambiance. I came early and dropped my luggage off and they texted me when my room was ready. The front desk staff was friendly and super competent. I really enjoyed my stay here.
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.
The rooms were clean and breakfast was good. All service folks we came in contact with were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was close enough to downtown Santa Barbara, which is where we spent most of our time.
Location is very good for access to Santa Barbara and surrounding region. The hotel facilities are very good, and the staff very helpful. Breakfast is good quality and has something for everyone.
