Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"The pond and ducks were a fun amenity but the rooms felt a little older/outdated. The air conditioner units in our two rooms were different and one worked better than the other. Be sure to request a room facing the pond. My family didn’t like the breakfast- they said the eggs and the sausages were not good. They also were very pushy about letting everyone know that they would be closing the breakfast soon, starting about 15 minutes before and then with many repeated reminders after that. One or two reminders would have been fine. But so many reminders made it feel a bit unwelcoming."
