Overview

The Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara offers a pleasant stay with several positive aspects. Guests frequently mention the spacious and comfortable rooms, many of which have been recently refurbished. The hotel's grounds, featuring a pond with ducks, are also a highlight for many visitors. The breakfast, while described as a 'continental' style in some reviews, is noted as a 'better than continental' option by others, suggesting a reasonably good selection of food. However, some inconsistencies in the experience are evident in the reviews. Some guests have reported issues with cleanliness (dusty rooms, dirty balcony), and the parking lot has raised concerns, especially regarding safety and lighting at night. The airport shuttle service is mentioned positively in some reviews, but negatively in others. It is worth noting that the quality of the experience appears to be inconsistent, with some guests receiving well-maintained, refurbished rooms and others receiving rooms described as 'outdated' or with maintenance issues.

I must say, this was a much better hotel than I expected. Labor Day weekend, so parties in the parking lot. Much better breakfast than continental, nice center pond area with feeding for ducks, turtles, and Koi.Comfortable bed, nice bath (limited shelf space).

Heather was very helpful getting me checked in ahead of time so I could go directly from the airport to the hospital to be with a loved one. Great service!

This property would be fine if priced like the motel that it is. For the rate we paid I expected cleaner/more modern facilities. We travel a lot and I haven’t felt like I overpaid for a room like this for awhile. Looks like they got some newish furniture and slapped some new paint and wallpaper up and called it renovated. But the walls and floor shows it’s age. AC blows directly on one of the beds making sleeping with it on difficult.

The room was small and dusty. The balcony overlooking the parking lot was too filthy to use. Just very disappointing for the amount we paid.
