Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

8/10 Good
"The room was clean however the tub and toilet were dated. The toilet water kept running. The bed was comfortable and the room had a nice patio. The breakfast was extremely simple with scrambled eggs, cereal, and yogurt. Not a variety of toast, bagels or muffins. Overall the stay met minimal standards."
