Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Gotta say, we have been searching for the best "inexpensive" hotel in Santa Barbara (I know, I know... nothing is inexpensive) BUT of those that are more motel-y and somewhat inexpensive, we were pleasantly surprised by this property! The grounds are gorgeous and even though it's right off the freeway, it's very peaceful. Our room was large. The bed was comfortable. It was super clean. We loved our little patio and we actually relaxed! It also was only 10 minutes away from UCSB and close to a drive-thru Starbucks. They have ducks! AND, the shower's water pressure was so strong! I mean, what more can you ask for? I just changed my reservation for Family Weekend to stay here again."
