Car was quieter than my room

Bed is super comfortable, but when they put all the guests in one part of the building, all I heard was people going up and down the stairs, loud TV and baby crying at 11pm. Then trash pick up at 7am. Not a restful night. Poor shower drainage. Left early

This has been second visit at the Franciscan Inn. The first time was 2020 and now 2025. The first time I highly rated it. This review is based on my latest visit. We stayed in room with a king bed facing Mason St. The room was quite, loved that. The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows flat. Although the room was clean, it is showing its age. Lots of wear and tear throughout the room. Our first night there, the staff was amazingly, bringing needed items to our room. The next day, the front desk was manned by someone who couldn't be bothered by customers. Bottomline: good place to stay due to its proximity with free perks like bike rentals, breakfast and great coffee. Comfort and style are lacking. The fact that I want to sleep on a bed that's better than mine when Im out of town means I won't be back.

Appreciated the accommodation for an early check-in and even surprised with a free upgrade which turned out to be the cutest suite we’ve had from all our trips to SB. Even had a cute bed and tray set-up for our dog. We look forward to booking this hotel again.
