“new Euro-look is clean and fresh”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2010

We stayed here because hotels in nearby Santa Barbara were over double the price. We picked this particular M6 due to the renovation. The room had a great European look, nice flatscreen TV, nice table and chairs area, staff were courteous. we were happy they had wireless internet with a low fee. The faux wood floors were cool but made for a noisy morning with kids running around in the next room. Luckily we needed to get up early anyway. for the price you can't beat it.

“WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE - HORRIBLE MANAGERIAL DUTIES, NEVER AGAIN”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I have never been so disgusted and appalled. I was sickened by the state of the room, but unfortunately had already checked in. When I went back to the office to say that I could not stay there, that my stomach was already sick from the stench, the man (Chris) on duty, accused me of "using" the room, as if they were running a flophouse. They refused to give me a refund. The manager never called me back despite numerous messages, and even stopping by once the next day. I had to pay for another room somewhere else, and still, they have done NOTHING to compensate my horrible experience. I implore you to NEVER go to this motel 6 ever....it is horrible and karma will get them most definitely.

“terrible”

Unfortunatly it was the only place left to book a block of rooms for a youth soccer tournament. I was expecting it to be pretty basic but clean and well maintained being part of a national chain. It was neither. Non-smoking stickers on all the doors but all the rooms included ashtrays and stunk of cigarette smoke. Do not stay here.

“Worst Mistake Staying Here! Avoid!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2010

people found this review helpful

Worst hotel/motel stay ever!
Arrived at the location and were immediately shocked how dumpy it was. Checked in with rude employees and made our way back into the parking lot to unload our luggage. We drove back into the lot and were met by a group of shady men staring at us from the time we parked, unloaded our luggage and walked up to our room. Scary! We got into our room and were instantly disgusted by the smoke smell even though we reserved a "smoke free" room. Went to use the bathroom... the shower was still wet and covered in dirt! Realized that the only way they classify the room to be "smoking or non-smoking" is by flipping the ash tray over. Left to go get dinner and decided to go back at the latest time so we didn't have to stay there long. Got back and two sheriff cars were in the lot. Went to our room and were again met by a guest staring at us from the time we parked to the time we got into our room. Our deadbolt was broke so we put the furniture in front of the door. Bed was uncomfortable and the room smelt of mice and smoke. We didn't sleep and canceled our next days reservation and got the heck out of there!

“A new low”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2010

person found this review helpful

I've stayed in many Motel 6's, and know that they are a bare-bones kind of motel. But nothing prepared me for this flea-bag full of scary types, smoking pot out in plain view and watching my daughter and I in a very uncomfortable way. We actually moved the furniture in front of the door, it was that creepy. The room was dirty, with hair in the shower, and the furniture was threadbare. Worst ever.
