Good Motel 6
Good, basic accommodation in a great location next to the beach and 20 minutes walk to Downtown Santa Barbara. Prices vary greatly depending on demand: good value at $150 but disappointing for $400!!

Check in experience was not good. Staff at the check in desk were quite unhelpful and seemed very high. After fighting for the upgrade we were promised a month prior, we were eventually given an upgrade that was comped because our room was not ready at check in time…took an extra hour to check in so we had to leave and come back twice. Our room was somewhat clean and had a few amenities, but it’s a motel 6 so we weren’t expecting luxury. Great location just a short walk from the beach and a short bike ride to the beach…CAUTION if you rent bikes ensure you bring them inside your room overnight as someone tried very hard to steal our rentals. We will not be staying here again

Best Motel 6 I’ve ever stayed in. Walking distance from the beach, nice views from the room, and a free bottle of wine at check in. Would stay again

We arrived late and our rooms weren’t thoroughly cleaned. We had to go to another location. The staff surveyed the rooms and gave us our refund. The staff was friendly from beginning to the end.
