“Great hotel, clean, very comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Great little hotel just off route 1. Very comfortable beds, microwave, fridge in the room. Good shower. Hotel provided washing facilities which was very handy as was running short on a few items!
Lovely little swimming pool and spa, heated. Lovely little garden area.
Breakfast was okay, buffer type, only gripe was that the cutlery was plastic. Apart from that small thing it was a welcome stop over for a very good price.

Room Tip: Try and have a room overlooking the garden, it is a lovely little paradise

Dear Dawntcbn,

Thank you very much for your review of our Award Winning Hotel. We are known as the Best Value Hotel in the Santa Barbara Goleta area and work hard to offer our guests more value every day. Our year-round Solar Heated Pool and Whilrpool is surrounded by our two freshwater lagoons and lush gardens and our guests just love to rest, relax, and unwind in our courtyard.

Our FREE Deluxe Continental Breakfast is filled with all types of fresh pastries, fresh fruit, hot and cold cereal, premium coffees, milks, juices, and made to order waffles, and is a great way to start the day. As for your tip overlooking the gardens and lagoons, these are our Deluxe Gardenside Rooms and they are a bit bigger than our Standard Single King Rooms, and are very popular with our guests. We look forward to your return to beautiful Santa Barbara and do hope that you once again choose to stay with us.

“Professional Ramada”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Reasonably large hotel, 3 x levels surrounding very nice central garden and pool. Reception and room satff very "efficient/rofessional" and would assist with any problems (i.e. reading lamp in room needed a new globe). Nice big room, good shower, balcony on our 3rd floor room. Exterior room overlooking carbays, but still nice as had a cold white wine while viewing the sunset and late arrivals at the hotel - very pleasent.
Very good/exellent breakfast (complimentary) & very helpful breakfast staff.
Close to "turnpike" shopping centre including Vons supermarket and diner (would recommend Vons as well - staff and manager there are excellent). Easy access to Highway. Approx 10/15 mins drive to downtown SB. Can't fault this one- cost was approx $115-$120 including all taxes/fees

Room Tip: Get a room that is garden side There is some food for the geese by the front desk, they are great...

Dear Lauren b,

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us and for mentioning two of our wonderful Front Desk Staff Members. We pride ourselves on always offering VIP Service to all of our guests and by your review, our staff members are accomplishing just that.

Also, thank you for mentioning the great tip about our Deluxe Gardenside Rooms that face our freshwater gardens and lush lagoons. All of our rooms do offer either a private patio or balcony for our guests’ enjoyment. The duck and Koi food is a big hit for our guests who enjoy watching them frolic in the lagoons. We sure hope that you were able to take advantage of our FREE Deluxe Complementary Continental Breakfast with all of the fresh pastries and made to order waffles. We look forward to your return and thank you once again for your review of our Two Time Ramada Worldwide Award Winning Hotel.

“Another great stay,but WIFI acted weirdly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

Nothing much is left to say. I'm a regular guest at this hotel and I've loved every single minute of it. We actually stayed here for new years day and a week later for a couple of nights. For the first stay we were given a large room wich I did not like much,for the second stay we've got the usual small and cozy room that I really adore. Front desk staff very polite as usual except for one older gentleman that did not belived the fact that I could login on the internet while in the lobby or corridors but not in my room,his reply about this was " that doesn't make any sense"...but that was the actual fact. It took my Iphone 24 hours to sync with the in room wifi,so no big deal. Will go back.

Dear Vegasvet,

Thank you so much for giving us 5 Stars for Sleep Quality, Rooms, and Cleanliness, we are very proud of our Award Winning Hotel and appreciate receiving 5 Star reviews from our guests. We have a lot to be thankful for and we especially want to thank our regular guests for continuing to stay with us. We have two distinct rooms, either our Standard Mountainside Single King Rooms or our Deluxe Gardenside Single King or Double Queen Rooms which are a bit bigger and look out over our freshwater lagoons and lush gardens. Every room does have a private patio or balcony that allows our guests to sit out and enjoy the great weather that Santa Barbara has to offer.

We do apologize about the Free Internet reception but glad that you were able to get it all taken care of. Thank you for all of your kind words about our wonderful staff members and we look forward to your return in the future.
