About what I expected for the hotel there was a little mold on the tile in the bathroom... some cobwebs under the AC... looked like plaster drips on the curtains... some dirt crusted on the bathroom door frame... but other than those things... everything else seemed okay. Bed was comfortable and shower worked. Tv was very old and undersized but worked for badic channels...Office Staff was friendly and efficient... cleaning staff came daily... vending Machine worked... parking easy... located near restaurants

The room is decent. Clean. Mostly a decent room. Back in the day(if this weren’t Santa Barbara) this room would run $29-$39. Not $100 a night but whatever. My issues are the Dish network is an absolute joke. Only basic channels. Come on!! Also the windows are thin and i can hear everything outside especially in the morning. The ac heater unit is ok but wish it had an even lower output setting. But really the only thing i couldn’t actually stand was the cheap dollar store mattress. Way too firm. Decent mattresses are actually not very expensive (Costco). I wouldn’t come back just because of that.Nearby activities: Lots of things all over to do

Felt safe.....I traveled with a friend who left after two days then I stayed 3 more days alone in back around the corner in #126 2 double beds ....sweet staff and my room was very VERY clean..... GREAT SHOWER wonderful water pressure......Beds are a little firm but tolerable enough for my bad hip (side sleeper).....I was on the ground floor and i did hear the people upstairs rolling suitcases....walking around and going in and out most of one of the nights...but mostly it wasn't too bad the other days/nights... Hard floors make it worse. Easy parking with a trailer..... They have washers and dryers for a fee and free ice and coffee and tea bags.Nearby activities: Close to the 101 freeway but I never heard the cars...... Also surrounded by grocery stores, shops and restaurants.....We ate twice at the Cajun Cafe.....ridiculously good food and service.Safety: Well lit...... Office staff on site....for more protection just remember to put a hanger in the door latch. Huge TV screen and I never heard the neighbors TV at all.Walkability: Close to shops....yummy restaurants and grocery stores....Rusty's pizza right across the street too.

Charged way too much, basically from taking advantage of rates for a busy weekend, for what was ultimately just a gross room (smelled off, thin walls, room feels quite old). Don’t be fooled by the price suggesting it might be a nicer location, it is still just a Motel 6 that SHOULD be charging well below the market.

I attempted to book a room for my seventeen year old, which was denied by this hotel, even though I was willing to assume all financial responsibility in writing. I did want to make them aware that this discrimination was against the law in CA.California law is reasonably clear that a hotel cannot discriminate based on age. A hotel cannot refuse to rent a room to an adult, or even to a minor if a parent or responsible adult is willing to accept liability.The requirement that a hotel rent to a minor if an adult guarantees against charges and damages is contained in Civil Code section 1865(d)(1):(1) Where a minor unaccompanied by an adult seeks accommodations, the innkeeper may require a parent or guardian of the minor, or another responsible adult, to assume, in writing, full liability for any and all proper charges and other obligations incurred by the minor for accommodations, food and beverages, and other services provided by or through the innkeeper, as well as for any and all injuries or damage caused by the minor to any person or property.There is also a substantial civil penalty that can be awarded against a hotel that discriminates. Under Civil Code section 52, a business that engages in prohibited discrimination (including age) is liable for a minimum of $4,000 in damages plus attorneys' fees.

Attention!!! I was stay there 4 months ago , today they tried to charge me $118 from my bank account. I declined and made fraud claim. Be careful with them, they are saving your bank card info and charging after couple months again. I’m going to call Better Business Bureau and FBI Bank fraud department too.

Being at the beginning of my stay currently, I can say im unimpressed.So, im.back in SB for funeral, and normally I have had very good luck with Motel 6's in the past.True, their not a hoity toity Santa Barabara resort, but they are still exactly what Tom Bodett used to say about them in the old commercials.This one barely met even those humble standards.Full disclosure, I booked the room the Expedia.Went to check in to find our that the queen he'd I booked through Expedia somehow magically was transformed into a handicapped accessible room. Then I was told they couldn't change the room, because it was booked through Expedia.Except, you know, for an up charge they could get me into a room with 2 double beds instead.Seriously, it's just me in the room. I don't need either a two bed room or a handicap accessible room. But I'm not going to pay more to change what I didn't book in the first place.The room itself seemed clean, but dingy and old looking. The furniture made Ikea look like quality craftsmanship. The bed, well it's typical I suppose.The place really needs a make over in order to keep up with comparably priced alternatives.You can color me unimpressed. Good thing I'm only sleeping there. If this was a business trip, I'd have been furious!Edit- seriously? The TV is wonky. The color is all off (a serious magenta wash). I tried hooking up my computer to the TV with the provided ports via HDMI and nope! It won't play anything other than the normal TV channels.I went to go to the vending machine and get some water (SB tap water is terrible!). Nope, all out. So sure, Gatorade. Better than soda, but there was no other choices.

Pretty clean. Our AC wasn't great, but the weather outside was delightful. We just like moving air and there was none inside. Checking staff were accommodating to a miscommunication on our part so that was nice. The location was good for us so that made it pretty handy.Rooms: The room was outdated but clean. AC was weak. But the lack of moving air was the greatest annoyance.Walkability: Grocery, pharmacy and a variety of restaurants. Sidewalk all around.

One of the best Motel 6s I've stayed in, as far as the cleanliness and general vibe. Had a weird experience with the angry manager, which was a bit shocking. However, he later apologized, and did solve my problem. A/C not the greatest.

It's clean. Very small for two double beds. Bathroom awkwardly shaped, toilet off center. $250/night Fri & Sat. Cheapest price in town when we booked.

BEST DECENT PLACE TO STAY IN GOLETA!! The price and the value are GOOD! It's in a great place, right on Calle Real across from Walgreens, next to CVS, and the bowling alley. There are shops, eateries, banks, gas stations, grocery stores, and a movie theatre. It's in a safe area, in a neighborhood.The prices are good, and you get a good clean room, at a decent rate.The front desk person seemed a little tired and grouchy, but perhaps he was giving a bad day. My friend stayed here on a Friday and a Sunday night. She said she would stay again in the future and would recommend it to others.

Ok, so you get what you pay for. The hotels in the Santa Barbara area are a little higher priced than most places I go, so I had to drop a few levels in quality and service but since I'm by myself and it's only one night, oh well.The shower is questionable looking with some cracking and weird looking patch or something at the spout end.Small tv, but I've been seeing that in quite a few hotels from other brands too. I think the marketing guy that decided three small squarish pillows was perfect for a queen bed also decided tvs only had to be 30in no matter the room size.Smallish room, but we are dealing with an old roadside inn style building. The pool did look nice when I walked by but I am not going to be able to take advantage. New hotels have tiny pools, this one looked like it was left over from back in the day when it was a decent size. Nothing special about the room, very basic other than the interesting corner chair. The bathroom sink has a bottle opener mounted on it so that's neat.

Free parking is nice, and the fridge in the room is helpful. The rooms are very tight with no real space to move. We also had to wait outside the main office a few times when we had a question or problem and nobody was there to assist. Upon check in, we were assigned a room and took our key and went to the room but there were people in the room. We ended up getting assigned a new room but it was a little off putting seeing that we had working keys to a strangers room.
