I took the Amtrak from Los Angeles to Carpinteria. According to Google Maps, the Motel 6 was about 1 mile from the train station. I managed to walk from the station to the motel in about 20 minutes. The motel is located more or less next to a shopping center. And I never felt unsafe walking between the downtown area... more

We've stayed at this M6 location many times and I am happy to say it is still well-managed and well-located in an excellent area. My only complaint is with the new "Phoenix" decor. Maybe I'm "old school' (or maybe just old!), but the "euro" look left me cold. I could handle that if the new decor was not impractical. There... more

Very Clean, Euro Style rooms (they have removed the carpet and installed really nice tile like flooring, special euro beds without box springs so that they are off the floor and it is clean even under the beds. By far the nicest Motel 6 I have stayed in (out of a couple dozen). Bargain for that area. Everything worked and... more

This hotel worked from a very basic playbook -- low cost rooms, very basic amenities, pool, free coffee, easy access to vending machines, laundry facility, pet friendly -- and in my view did a very good job of it. After reading the reviews for the Motel 6 Carpinteria NORTH (which were horrific), I made sure to book this location, which... more

Newly remodeled, Gidget loves this place. When I asked where the dog area was the manager told me anywhere there is grass (it was everywhere and everyone picks up too) The motel reminds me of those really modern high efficiency one nighters by Charles DeGaulle Airport. ADA room had huge bathroom easily accessible shower and tub with seat for my... more

Great staff, great clean modern rooms and a great price. Close to the beach and restaurants. more

I've been here twice, once in '08 for business and once in early '09 with my family. I've stayed in a LOT of Motel 6's in the last year for work. This, so far, has been the only one I've stayed in that has completed the next generation of Motel 6 remodels (cute bathrooms, vinyl faux-hardwood floors, flat screen TV,... more

Stayed the night for a graduation @ UCSB. The room my wife and I had was small and reminiscent of a small RV complete with vinyl floors, a vinyl built in seat and and what appears to be a fold out table. It boast wifi (approx 3$ per day) and a flat screen and it's clear how they saved the... more

We have just stayed there for a week and had a thoroughly good time. The whole place has been recently refurbished and for the money it is very good. In my view better for family vacations than business due to the lack of a comfortable desk. The beds are ok, the shower is powerful and the flat screen TV service... more
