Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara
Our kids live in SB and we've made this our regular hotel for when we come to visit. The rooms are so comfortable and spacious and the grounds are immaculate. There's a beautiful lily pad pond and a really nice pool area. We also really love that we can turn the a/c down to 60.
