Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Room had spider webs in corner of ceiling. Our coffee pot didn’t work. These issues were taken care of once we notified front desk personnel. The grounds and pool area were nice and well kept. Front desk workers had little to no customer care skills. I should not feel like I need a favor when asking them to handle issues with my room. The woman working the morning continental breakfast was very polite, helpful, and a bright spot in our visit."
