    Family escape near UC Santa Barbara offers poolside fun for kids and convenient exploring.
"Upon arrival, a manager was yelling at a staff member at the front desk about his poor job performance.

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

8/10 Good
"The staff was friendly and helpful, and the room initially appeared clean upon arrival. However, the room felt a bit dated, and later I found food wrappers on the floor that had been left by a previous guest. The bathroom also could have been cleaned more thoroughly, as there appeared to be makeup marks on the wall behind the bathroom door. Overall, it wasn’t a bad stay, but the cleanliness of the room could definitely be improved."
