Check in was a breeze, very helpful young mad at the desk. The property was very clean. Pool looked very clean and inviting (didn’t use it as it was a bit cool) . Our room was very clean. It had everything you need for an overnight stay for some much needed rest before heading home . Oh and pet friendly as well .

Great For the Beach

We hadn’t stayed at a motel 6 in decades, but we had grand kids and didn’t want to camp. I would go back. We were a little concerned by all the men who seemed to work but not live locally, but they were quiet after eight, and we didn’t hear them in the am. There is NO microwave anywhere, not even the front office, and limited coffee pots to heat water. But there was a fridge. Walking to anywhere is perfect.

I know that its proximity to Santa Barbara makes it expensive. However, I believe that it’s bare bones amenities does not make it worth the price. In my opinion, no Motel 6 should be over $100 per night.

The bathroom door were damaged and could not close. Some floor boards were damaged and could possibly damaged your feet. Limited parking since various crews were staying at the hotel. Clerk told me I should have no problem parking in front of my 1st floor room. Not the case. Both days I had to park a distance from my room.
