Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara
8/10 Good
"Generally the place was very good . Clean ,plenty of free parking The grounds are beautiful, breakfast is a plus , turkey sausage were delicious. What I was a little disappointed about was it was advertised to be located , as Santa Barbara but it was a drive of around 8-9 miles in to SB . The king Bed in my room had a soft mattress which gave me a sore back each morning. Room had no dresser Drawers ,as we stay for 4 nights ,living out of suit cases. Advantage is that it was quite a bit less expensive . Would consider again for a overnight stay ."
