Were the walls thin? Yes. Could the bathroom have been a bit cleaner? Probably. But all in all, we had a pleasant stay in this motel, especially for the price. More

Absolutely I suggets it, also for a longer... More

We spent $50 for a Sunday night two double beds which was the posted price. Our room faced the pool and was quiet even though the front of the hotel faced the 1 freeway. The room was clean an the bedspreads were new and kinda cute. It was a cheery simple room that meet the expectation I had for a... More

This was just about the cheapest you can find close to Santa Barbara. It's recently remodeled, clean, simple, in a quiet and safe neighborhood. My only complain is that the room smelled strongly of chemicals when we first walked in but after airing out it was fine. Check in and out was a breeze, they required payment up front which... More

Its clean, modern, has the basic necessities,is affordable, and has a Starbucks in walking distance. One reviewer described it as an IKEA type room. that's an apt description. Bring your own hair dryer and shampoo. It has a large flat screen tv, computer plug ins, a little 'table' and place for 2 to sit, and 'night stand' shelfs coming out... More

Finally we stopped at a Motel 6 that has had an upgrade!!! It looks so much better and we felt better staying there. Still the basic's i.e TV, towels, just off the freeway and nice staff but due to the face lift we felt much happier and more comfort. It's only 15 miles ish from Santa Barbara which is very... More

We stayed one night on a trip down the Pacific Coast Highway. We are a couple with two kids. We had a ground floor double. The rooms are very basic - no frills. The beds were comfortable and the linens were clean. The decor is simple, kind of like a dorm room. The bathroom was large and the fixtures were... More

Friendly, welcoming service for checking in with helpful information about what is going on around town. They provide a free map of Santa Barbara if you need one. The room was clean and looked new (or remodeled). Nice. More

Travel the extra 250 feet up the road and stay at the Holiday Inn Express. There is a difference between a motel being inexpensive and being cheap. And this place is Ebeneezer Scrooge Cheap. No microwave, no fridge, no coffee maker, no clothes iron, no hair drier, NO CLOCK, NO SHAMPOO!!! And they charge you $2.99 a day for their... More

I thought this hotel was run-down considering it had been newly renovated. The room was dirty but a great attempt at making it look nice. The floors need a serious cleaning. The shower leaked everywhere so we had to use our towels to clean up the floors. Considering what we have paid in the past for roadside hotels, I felt... More
