Happy with my stay.

I was pleasantly surprised as to how nice our room was. It was very clean, smelled good and we couldn’t hear the traffic. The beds were comfy, pillows were meh. The pool looked nice. The people at the front desk were kind. I’d definitely stay here again.

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.
