It's a fair question. Most Motel 6 properties are pretty much alike. But this one, in the Santa Barbara suburb of Carpinteria, seems a bit nicer. Surrounded by trees, plenty of parking, Santa Barbara just 10 miles away. More importantly, it's often $20 to $30 less per night than the Motel 6 locations actually in Santa Barbara. It has a...

Made a room reservation weeks in advance. Had to stay in a room next to the freeway and were told no other rooms were available. When I complained that the traffic noise was extremely loud my concern was met with complete indiferrence by the front desk clerks. When I asked if we could receive some type of discount I was...

It was our first stay in a Motel 6 and I wasn't expecting much. We paid 75$ for a room and I think it was too much for what we got. The carpet was dirty and the room was very very basic.

When I arrived I had to wait 20 mins to be acknowledged in the lobby because a bunch of construction workers were being checked in ONE at a time and the hotel clerk saw me standing there growing impatient and said...

We stayed here for daughters graduation as everything close to Santa Barbara was full. We knew it would be no frills having stayed at these motels a couple of times before. This was the worst. The sidewalks were filthy, our room was old and not really clean. The topper was coming in at 10pm and gping to the office and... More

It is important to me to have wi fi access. I book the place because the wi-fi cost only $2.99. Upon arriving, I was told the wi fi does not work. So I have to drive to the nearest McDonald to use the wi fi there. For a tired travler arriving at night, it wasn't a fun thing to do. More

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... More

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... More
