We stayed 4 days and 3 nights and had an excellent experience. While the room was small, the bed is extremely comfortable and the toiletries are all Dove brand (which is curltryfree and we love). The wifi didn't work the first few days but the last night it worked perfectly. The hotel is beautiful, super modern and cool. It is 2 blocks from the beach.

We stayed at this motel for one night during our mother daughter road trip and loved our stay. The hotel and room were recently renovated, clean and comfortable. The location, just a few steps from East Beach and the wonderful sunsets, seemed safe to us. The price was very affordable for a hotel so close to the beach and activities. The parking lot was spacious and friendly. The room had a small refrigerator. Be careful with comments that are several years old!

Nice location across the beach , the room is clean and renovated , however no housekeeping service is offered during your stay , I went to ask 3 times at the reception for towels ,afternoon and evening and the guy at the reception could not find any towels to give us , wow.

This location is right by the beach, and pet friendly! There were plenty of happy pups each morning ready to go for their runs on the beach. Ideal location and budget friendly. A couple of vending machines, morning coffee and ice machine on site.

The hotel is cute with an excellent location. They did a great job making it feel fun and beachy. The dove shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower is nice to have. The beds are not great, we stayed at a different motel 6 that was not as nice the night before but had wayyyy better beds. We had a 2 full beds room and it is very tight, small and would be hard for more than 2 people to be comfortable. But the worst part was that the water in the shower never got hot, just barely almost warm.Walkability: We walked to the beach and all the way downtown.

Rooms: Clean, spacious.Nearby activities: Right in front of East BeachSafety: No issues at all although there is some homelessness in the area. Nothing to worry about but the usual recommendations of not leaving valuables in the car applies.

I thought that I had set my expectation when I decided on the Motel 6 but they were able to drop even lower. Sure, the bed was hard and uncomfortable, the sheet and towels were poor quality but that was expected. But not providing shampoo or anything but a bar soap for a $220 per night room is pretty bad. Plus, the front desk asked if I wanted my room cleaned (to which I said yes) but they didn't touch it. All of this could have been forgiven if I could have gotten a full night sleep. The worst part is that for some reason, they decide to start the laundry at 5:20am and it echoes through the room. I called and asked if I could move to a different room but the GM told me that their other options aren't any quieter. The next night at 5:20am again, the room started echoing again, which is not the time that I was hoping to wake up on vacation. If all that you want a cheaper room with good location and don't care about sleeping, average quality bedding or the bare essentials, while also having a staff that couldn't care less, this is your spot. But if you want anything else for an additional $20 per night, there are better options.

Let me start of with something good the location was perfect. Everything else no good.the water pipes broke without water for almost two days (42 hours) to be exact.accident happen.. I called multiple times sat to sun. Angela returned my call on a Tuesday. With end resolution of A $75 refund?!? Spent $700 almost.. how about a free night stay? Talk about penny pinch. Dealbreaker. My baby has to wait that long for a bath..unacceptable.No personal hygiene items. It was not worth it to try and stay again ever. Not worth the money could've stayed in something nicer. Be wary. Just not happy with the turnaround time and honest at the front desk. It was unprofessional. They said it would be fixed same day. Then came Sunday same problem. would've went to a different establishment. I usually do great reviews this was a big upset for me with one under one.Noteworthy details: Be wary.

I booked Motel 6 in Santa Barbara because the hotel where my conference was had no availability. This location is perfect for walking to the beach, dining and getting over to the conference center where the event was held. I felt safe and comfortable coming and going any time of the day. The rooms were well equipped although you could hear everything nextdoor. My room was not facing the beach, but that was ok because I did get to face the mountains.I really didn't need to interact with anyone. It was a short Uber drive from the airport and a quick check in process in their small office. They had a vending machine that I did use once and my DoorDash driver had no issue finding my room for my delivery.I learned that this Motel 6 is the original Motel 6 built in the 1960's - it was only $6 a night back then! I paid near $200 per night in September which seemed fair for that area. I would definitely stay here in the future when I am visiting for work.Rooms: Small, but has everything you need. Cute retro look.Nearby activities: Beach, bicycling, outdoor fitness, baseball fields, spa, pier.Safety: I felt safe walking any time of the day. There were several homeless people nearby, but no one bothered me at all.Walkability: Several things in the area to walk to and experience. Beaches, museums, restaurants, fitness, spa, and entertainment.

The flagshipmotel 6 is everything you thought it would be … circa 1950’s.- [ ] The Deluxe Queen room has a full bed.- [ ] It has an in room retro fridge and serviette packs in the lobby but NO microwave anywhere!!!- [ ] At $300 a night (all in tax/ city fee etc-Thurs to Sun)… room was impossibly small at 199 sq ft. No small table or 2 chairs (one plastic 60’s chair only).- [ ] NO M/W!!!!!! WTH?!? My food bill was 1/3 higher cause I couldn’t augment my exorbitant restaurant bill with warmed up leftovers in the room!!- [ ] Oh and - If security is important to you… There is NONE here. I was locked out of my room. Took 30 seconds to pop the screen on my open window and reach in to unlock the door. Old school design.On the plus side - location location location. Beach half a block walk with peak-a-boo view from the room. Quiet neighborhood near Amtrak station.The glory pics on their website over promise what you will actually get for the money.Overall - Not a good value for the money. There are several hotels/motels around this area. Maybe an extra $10 is worth the m/w and a few more sq. ft. bigger bed.

Thank you Thank you Thank you Angela, Motel 6 Manager. I can't say thanks enough for all you did to accommodate us. Even though there was a mix up you took the time to save us a lot of heart ache during fiesta week (busiest time in SB). When you went as far to make 27 phone calls to help us out that was above and beyond. You definitely display the golden rule by "Treating others the way you want to be treated". I've spent my life working in customer service and when I see it I have to acknowledge it because its so rare! As I said before you are an angel and made our stay excellent. Thank you so much! Hope to visit again soon.
