Rooms were small but clean, it served its purpose we were only in the room to sleep. They have a blow dryer and iron but you must ask for it at the front desk, it’s not in the room. Coffee and tea are available in the morning in the hotel office. You are walking distance to several restaurants and Albertsons.

Not a D. Not a B.
It’s an expensive area to stay in, and this place is cheaper. Bare bones, no frills. A perfect C. Not a D. Not a B.

Better Than Expected
This Motel 6 felt safe & clean, and the gentleman at the checkout desk was very friendly and kind. Yes the property is dated...but it's hard to get good deals on hotels in the Santa Barbara area, and I felt this was better than I expected.

Pee smell from air conditioner in first room. The front desk was able to move us to one without that odor. We had some loud talking guys outside our room around 11 pm when trying to sleep, but couldn’t reach the front desk until morning to report it. Despite this, it’s an inexpensive option.

Check-in was super easy, room was very clean. Love that they are pet friendly. Easy to walk downtown for food and shopping, and just down the street is an Albertson’s grocery store. Only downside is that currently (Sept 2024) a lot of the workers that are doing road work on Hwy 101 between Carpinteria and Santa Barbara are staying here, and they go in and out with the large semi-trucks and trailers. It’s noisy with the loud engines and the beeping when they back up.
