The check-in and checkout process was very easily, and the staff was polite and friendly. The hotel itself was exceptionally clean and it’s not a great location, walking distance from restaurants, shops, and bars and the beach.

Clean. But the pool wasn't heated. Gotta heat the pool so 100usd a night is worth it.

Rooms were small but clean, it served its purpose we were only in the room to sleep. They have a blow dryer and iron but you must ask for it at the front desk, it’s not in the room. Coffee and tea are available in the morning in the hotel office. You are walking distance to several restaurants and Albertsons.

Better Than Expected
This Motel 6 felt safe & clean, and the gentleman at the checkout desk was very friendly and kind. Yes the property is dated...but it's hard to get good deals on hotels in the Santa Barbara area, and I felt this was better than I expected.

The rooms need a serious upgrade. Bedding and pillows could hardly be worse. Proximity to the cafes is a bonus.

Well, after reading the reviews on this "little" Motel, I and family decided to give it a try. We NEVER stay at Motels. But we were in town for a lacrosse event where EVERYONE else in the neighboring cities were either sold out or triple the price of what we paid here at Motel 6, which was over $220 a night (Friday and Saturday). So, please keep in mind this is a motel. No extras. And I mean, no extras. Towels were limited but the maids working there were friendly and generous. We even tipped them for the extra towels. Walking into the room left a family of three with shock. Two small double beds, with barely room to get around each other. The bath room, although clean, was tiny as well. No place to put your luggage except on top of each other as there was no room. I believe our room was less than an 8X10, which is small for a "hotel room." As I said before, two double beds for three people left us pretty crowded. I will say this...they were clean and comfortable. Bring your own pillow, since they give you three small very flattened pillows per bed. Bring an extra blanket as you never know what the temp will be. We brought our own pillows and an extra blanket. Thank goodness we did since the AC would get cold, then hot, then cold. Never checked out the coffee area in a.m. Why bother? We wanted out of the tiny accommodation asap to escape to Starbucks down the street. Overall, the room is for ONE PERSON, no problem. Two people is a tight fit. :(:(
