Good for the money
needed a place with two queen beds since we're a family of 5 (3 small kids). room (suite) was spacious and clean. no real view, but we weren't really interested in that. beds were advertised as queens but they had to be the smallest queen beds we've ever seen. it's located right off the freeway and you can hear the traffic so if you're looking for a quiet night, this ain't the place. also, the suite is located at the end of the hall where the stairs are (no elevator) so you can hear all the traffic and the bump, bump, bump as people drag their bags down them... all in all, not a bad deal for what we were looking for and we'd probably come back as long as we got a good price...

visitor from torrance
We were warmly welcomed by the hotel staff, who accommodated our request for two rooms close to each other. Beds were very comfortable, shower with great pressure. They had a full hotel being new years eve but never ran out of anything at the complimentary continental breakfast. The manager even came through and wished everyone a Happy new year!

Great Weekend Mini-Vacation!
We booked the Ramada Limited when we decided to go to Santa Barbara for NYE 2011. With 3 kids under 6, we needed a hotel that was kid-friendly and easy access to shopping and freeways. The continental breakfast was good and held the kids over until lunch. Downtown Santa Barbara was only 10 minutes away from the Ramada Inn. This was our first time to Santa Barbara and will definitely stay at this hotel next time we're here!

Easy SB stop off
Freeway close, but protected from freeway noise. My husband and I just spent one night as a layover driving from San Diego to SF. Well lit parking in back and locked access to hotel corridors. The room key card is needed to enter the building. The hotel has lovely gardens and grounds, with a central lagoon, which may be dangerous for little kids, and mature plantings. Nice, big, heated pool and large spa. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful, day staff more than pm. Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious. Continental breakfast was a little heavy on sweet stuff and carbs, but included a few healthy options like hard boiled eggs and granola.

Thanksgiving weekend in Santa Barbara
I took my 4 year old granddaughter up to Santa Barbara for the Thanksgiving weekend. The Ramada Limited was a very comfortable, convenient hotel with all the amenities needed to make our stay enjoyable. Loved the Cable TV, free internet, free breakfast and beautiful ponds and bridges. Safe, fun, comfortable and quiet.

Nice and pleasant
Front desk staff were perfect in greeting and responding to special needs. Room was clean and linens were very soft. "Deluxe" breakfast could have been a little deluxer to make the grade.
