Way back in 2002, I stayed at this Motel 6, and was met with your average Motel 6 experience. Nothing great, nothing bad. You're standard Motel 6. A few weeks ago, I booked this hotel for a last second trip and expected the same standard fare. Boy was I surprised! They've completely redone the decour of the room, with a... more

The desk clerk(s) acted like I was bothering them when I was checking in and out. The rooms are painted in 60's motif, the mattress, sits on a board. I will credit the night clerk for quieting down the party on my floor. There are nice places to stay in Santa Barbara for a few dollars more. more

I'm not a motel/hotel snob. Basically all I want is a clean, safe, secure place to shower and sleep. A comfortable bed is also nice. I usually stay in cheaper motels/hotels (after checking them out on Trip Advisor). This place was just odd. The room was sparten at best. It had a jail cell feel to it. No carpeting, hard... more

Rooms have been remodeled with platform beds, (cheap) flat screen tv's, nice granite bathroom vanities. Clean, small, comfortable. Little noisey, but quiet at night. more

Spent one night here after a midnight arrival in Santa Barbara Airport, needing an inexpensive place to sleep close to the airport. Like most motels in this chain, this one met that need perfectly adequately. It's just a kilometer from the terminal, and the total cost to spend a night was $72. Note, however, that cabs from the airport to... more

This motel was good. I did research on Trip Advisor for a reasonable motel in the Santa Barbara area for my mom and I for the weekend - this was rated not too bad. The room was clean. Not super close to downtown Santa Barbara - but in reasonable driving distance. Walgreens, gas stations, Denny's and other grocery stores/restaurants were... more

After contracting a horrible head cold and both my ears blocking, my husband and I had to postpone our trip to Santa Barbara which resulted in us losing our original hotel selection. When we rescheduled for 4 days in August, we could not find vacancy in Santa Barbara. This resulted in an exhaustive search - the only place that had... more

Motel 6 is your basic cheap motel. Tiny room, paper-thin walls, less-than-stellar service. This much I expected, but my real problems began in the AM. I was awakened by a wake-up call 2 hours earlier than when I had requested. The wake-up call for the time I had requested never happened. This could have been disasterous as I was in... more

A last minute trip found myself without a hotel to stay in the greater Santa Barbara area on a busy weekend. Motel 6 Santa Barbara - Goleta was the only choice I had. The one night I stayed here turned out to be quite good. It was sufficient lodging. The rooms were fairly clean and access to the nearby attractions... more
