Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"The setting of the hotel is fantastic, with rooms overlooking the swimming pool and small well kept gardens. Rooms are large with balconies. A good breakfast choice again in a nice setting and both the reception and breakfast teams were helpful and friendly. 10 min drive into downtown SB."
