Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

6/10 Okay
"I wasn't too impressed with my stay at the Ramada in Santa Barbara. Upon checking in there were two employees at the desk. One who was helping me and the other one (male) who was on the telephone with a potential guest i'm assuming. He was incredibly snarking and rude to the person on the phone. His colleague (female) agreed with his disrespectful attitude and acknowledged it by smiling at him and giving him a half eye roll. That was a terrible first impression from the hotel staff, it was really unnecessary to be rude to the guest when being asked about pricing of the hotel stay. Not sure if the hotel was within the guest budget range but the male employee made me feel uncomfortable with the way he was speaking with the guest over the phone. It felt very judgmental and almost (mean girl) like. As for the room my daughter and I killed two decent size bugs and I think the final straw for us was when we were in the bathroom and the rubber mat on the bathtub looked like it had dark stains or mold on the edges. Thankfully we were only there one night."
