Front desk employee friendly and efficient. Wish the windows in the room came with a sheer curtain so you can have privacy and still light. Also, only coffee available in the morning, sadly no tea 😔

I don't usually stay at Motel 6. There were few options in Carpinteria. I was there for a track meet. I was pleasantly surprised with the updated accomodations, cleanliness and excellent service that the front office provided. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I would come back! The location is excellent. Walking distance from all the shops and restaurants.

The room was filthy and it smelled awful. We requested a non smoking room and it smelled like smoke. Also, there looked like an unhoused man moving into the room next us. He was making so much noise while moving in his stuff. He also had a dog staying with him. It felt unsafe overall. Will never stay here again.

The location is walking distance to a commercial plaza corner(restaurants,grocery market, banks, gas station before freeway S or N 101entrance). It is also about 3 mins drive to the nearest beach coast hiking, walking,jogging.

Happy with my stay.

I was pleasantly surprised as to how nice our room was. It was very clean, smelled good and we couldn’t hear the traffic. The beds were comfy, pillows were meh. The pool looked nice. The people at the front desk were kind. I’d definitely stay here again.
