Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara
Bed sheets had significant sized, yellow-tinted, dried stains. The replacement sheets provided by staff also had various stains as well. Bathtub/shower floor was visibly brown in most areas. It provokes the thought of what else is not cleaned appropriately, or at all, in the room.

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort
They took a $150 deposit from me, but they never gave it back and didn’t explain why. We drank one bottle of wine in the room, so okay, maybe that’s $40, but the other $110 just disappeared. Other than that, the hotel was okay.

Santa Barbara Inn
The hotel was excellent. Our room faced the ocean. We used the pool and hot tub daily. Although we did not eat at the restaurant, It is a very highly rated restaurant right on the property. Staff was very helpful. Location is terrific.
