Good Hotel

The Ramda is reasonably located just off the 101, close to the airport and about 5 miles for downtown Santa Barbara. The property is well maintained and rooms are of good size. Continental breakfast is nice. The Ramada has discount coupons for nearby resturants (ask at front desk if they don't mention it upon check-in).

Service

The staff leader "Arvat" I believe how you spell his name was amazing. My airlines had lost my luggage. He immediately greeted me at the front desk, gave me toiletry and then when my bags arrived placed it back into my room. He also provided me with directions and suggestions for things to do in Santa Barbara. Location is spectacular. I definitely go there again. Thank you so much for the great service.

Visiing "The Dr."

Nice hotel. Convenient location to 101..which takes you everywhere North and South. Very convenient to Santa Barbara Exits. Staff was nice, rooms a little dated but very clean. Comfy king size bed. Next time would prefer a room with Lagoon view. Our view was the parking lot. Overall a nice home away from home for our 6 day stay.
