Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Overall a nice place, I was visiting daughter at school so just needed basics. Bed was comfy, linens nice, room a very nice size (1 king) and it was quiet (back side) with easy parking. Room was clean, but had a damp smelly foot odor, improved with airing it out but was came back once stopped blowing. In room coffee machine was dirty and a bit dysfunctional."

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and smelled fresh when we arrived. The bed was comfortable, towels were fresh, and the bathroom was spotless. Check-in was quick and the staff were friendly. Great value for the stay"
