This is a good option when traveling to santa barbara. First of all I want to thank Lynn she was amazing. We were traveling to pismo beach 12/30/11 when our rental car broke down at midnight and our aaa tow truck took us there. She was phenomenal it was late and cold, and our car rental company (HERTZ) was giving... More

This is one of the cheapest options in the Santa Barbara area and it will provide you with a clean room, a TV, and a bed. Outside of that, the rooms are very small, even for a Motel 6. The internet will cost you a few bucks per night, but do not bother as it is very slow and the... More

We actually live in Goleta but have no room for guests. When my parents come for a visit it would be $1k minimum for them to stay at even the Holiday Inn just down the street from the 6. You cannot beat Motel 6 in price, for sure, but the important part is that it's really a very clean, safe,... More

First of all, Santa Barbara is REALLY expensive. This Motel 6 offered a reasonable alternative (given the area.) The room was very updated - very Ikea and modern. It got very humid in the room but that may be due to the humidity of the outside air? We travel with our little fur baby and they don't have an additional... More

The new rooms are very nice, very IKEA style, but they smell almost too new..! There was quite a potent paint/new furniture smell in our room. Still, a refreshing change from some of the other motels we stayed in. All of Santa Barbara is pretty expensive, this was the best deal I could find, still quite expensive in my opinion... More

In overpriced Santa Barbara area, this is a relatively great deal. New Euro-styling decor. Very welcoming staff. No frills, but it's got all you need. Love the bigger screen tv and better towels. More

When booking online on the Motel 6 website, DO look at the rooms and DO stay in these updated "modern" looking ones if you can. What a difference! No yucky carpet, no yucky bedspread, the room is still on the small side but they've made better use of the space with a flat screen TV mounted to the wall and... More

Stayed here 3 nights for a family reunion...Really like the way Motel 6 has remodeled & "upgraded" the furnishings in the rooms..faux hardwood floors/flat screen TV. I have stayed in several other Motel 6's (including the one on State St. in Santa Barbara proper) and my impression that the rooms here are the smallest I've ever been in. The bathroom... More
