1. My husband was a little dubious because the rate wasn't expensive, and we were all pleasantly surprised that we could find such a gem at a great price.

3. After checking with a couple of other places (one was full and the other was way to expensive) we found The Franciscan Inn, which was inexpensive only by comparison with the other hotels near the beach.

4. First trip to Santa Barbara, found this hotel online, which was a little less expensive than other places close by, so was a bit worried the quality would not be there.

5. I hope the Franciscan remains the SB institution it has become; they provide a wonderful experience at a normal price in an abnormally-expensive beachside paradise.
