Great value for Santa Barbara.
Very convenient motel one block from beach with views of ocean. Very nice staff. Clean and up to date rooms. One and half mile distance to Amtrak station and State Street . City buses and trolley one block from motel. Great value considering the top dollar gotten by resort hotels. Small refrigerator in room…a nice treat. Short walk to supermarket. All in all a great value.

Great For Budget Travel
Probably the nicest 6 I’ve stayed in. Rooms are small, but do the job. Proximity the beach is outstanding. Probably the best budget option in SB.

Taking care of yourself but great motel6
Great motel, great location, cute retro decor. Due to staffing my room was never cleaned for a 3 day stay. I’m ok with that but I had to ask front desk every evening for towels due to housekeeping quitting. Had to empty my garbage daily as well. A bottle of wine was listed but never received.

Check in took forever no one was there, then we got in the room and some of the surfaces were so dirty and sticky we had to wipe them down with wet washclothes. Then a large group of people started to party in the room above us and they went until 5 in the morning with stopping, just stomping and banging the whole night. It was rough.

Great place to stay right by the ocean, staff are super friendly and helpful and the cleaning staff are on point too! Car parking was amazing right outside my room. Only downside no coffee in my room but was offered on reception which was no big deal!

Good. But could be better.
Above average decor for Motel 6. But the guy at check was just rude and super unfriendly. Rooms are small and have no microwave or coffee makers. You also have to use your room key to get a stingy amount of ice from the ice machine.
The descriptions of mountain and ocean views is a bit of a stretch. Mountain view has telephone lines. Ocean view is a sliver due to residential buildings around the property.
There are better, less deceptive places in the area.

Room 113 was absurdly loud - right next to the stairwell. Kids screaming and shouting and thumping as the ran up and down. Adults not giving a f*** that there are people trying to relax right on the other side of the door.
