i have stayed at a *lot* of motel 6s (i usually travel with my dog and am on a budget), but i have never stayed at one like this! i spent the first 5 minutes of my stay taking pictures of the interior! the rooms have been redone in a very colorful euro sort of way, making efficient use of... more

Went up for a ham radio convention from San Diego; I may never drive to Santa Barbara/Goleta again! Train ride was great and a great deal for $63 round trip. Stayed here for two nights and walked to the train station. Nice walk. There is a shopping center behind the motel with everything you could want to eat in, if... more

There was a mix up where I had made the reservation and I ended up at the Super 8 in Goleta instead. I was charged for both and when we received the bill for both, Motel 6 settled it to my satisfaction promptly. It would have been a much nicer motel to spend the night then the Super 8 for... more

The Fiesta was on in Santa Barbara while we were there, so couldnt find anywhere to stay in the town, and ended up driving the 15 minutes or so to Goleta. After trying everywhere else and being given prices of $150 minimum, the Motel seemed like a bargain at $105... still very pricey considering you basically get a cell. Its... more

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
