Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

Very nice room to eat our breakfast. The attendant kept refilling the food and helped the folks with the pancake maker ☺️

Wonderful property with lagoon in center (ducks, grey herring, and turtles!). I had balcony room overlooking the pool and the lagoon and it was worth the upgrade. Room was remodeled. Very simple layout with large comfortable king bed. Refrig and microwave in room for convenience. The swimming pool had the best temperature I have experienced in any pool. Very relaxing. This property is several miles inland from SB harbor activities/coast, but freeway is one left turn away. It is perfect location for going to Mission or botanical garden. This is 3rd time I have been here and will go here every time I want to visit Santa Barbara, as it has such a charm to it.

We were greeted by very friendly reception staff and got into our room a bit earlier than the 4 p.m. check in time (every staff member we encountered during our stay was friendly and helpful). We had a ground floor room that looked out onto the lagoon and the pool. The lagoon creates a nice ambiance, as do the ducks. My kids were enchanted every time the ducks strolled by our room. The afternoon chocolate chip cookies are absolutely delicious. The pool was great, and the handle on the entrance gate is very high up, which makes it hard for little ones to let themselves in. The continental breakfast was standard fare but my kids absolutely loved the automatic pancake machine and watching their pancakes get cooked as they moved along a conveyor belt. The hotel is right next to the 101, and directly across the street from a Starbucks (which is great as the hotel coffee was not great, IMO). It's very easy and convenient to drive to any of the sights and experiences you might want to enjoy on your vacation. The hotel also offers discount coupons to many attractions and restaurants. The bathroom is pretty small, but it's about what you might expect and it was clean. I was never able to get the wifi to work on any of my devices, despite everything I tried. But I didn't call the help line they make available, I just hot-spotted my phone. All in all, we had a great experience there and I would definitely stay there again.

I grew up in SB and know if I am going to stay in SB it is going to be expensive. I've actually stayed in this location before and was very disappointed - I had called the front desk numerous times trying to get some extra towels because I was having a procedure at the VA outpatient clinic and needed them - never got them. SO on other trips I stayed away from your Ramada. HOWEVER I wanted to give it another chance and since I had to fly out of SB to Denver early in the morning I needed to stay at this location because it is very close to the freeways to the airport. The lady that checked me in was extremely nice and friendly and we chatted a bit and showed me how to get to the room. The room was very comfortable and I loved the pillows and the next morning as I check out I told the same lady I wanted to steal those pillows and we both laughed and I assured her I hadn't; she wished me a pleasant trip and I left to find my plane. I would not hesitate to stay in your Ramada again in the future.

nice pool. little pond with coi, ducks and a blue heron (kids loved it…duck feeder was awesome). 2nd floor room had a vaulted ceiling…quite a nice room. it felt clean and new which was nice
