The room was clean and well appointed. Was able to get my laundry done. Lots of places to eat within walking distance. Grocery store and Trader Joe’s really close.

The room was one of the smallest doubles I've ever stayed in, both beds shoved against the walls with a narrow aisle between them, very dated interior, bedframes falling apart. A lot of mdf furniture in poor condition.

The room was very clean, well priced and spacious. The only downfall was you could hear all the traffic going past. We thought the window was open, but it wasn’t. We were staying there just for one night to be close to the airport and it was perfect because the airport was only five minutes away nice staff, and coffee in the morning.

We didn’t arrive until 2:00am, but the front desk was open and helped us check in quickly. The person at the desk was very friendly and check out was easy. The only issue was the mini fridge. It’s pretty loud at night. We needed to use it, but I’m guessing it would be better if you could unplug it. Overall, it’s what we expected and was great for a 2 day trip

Liked: Cleanliness
It was a nice place to stay at a decent price. The only complaint and safety hazard is in the shower the bottom of the tub the anti-slip was worn down and I all most fell so I had to put a bath towel down so I won't fall.

We were in a pinch and in need of a last minute stay. Immediately upon walking in, we found and killed multiple roaches. The walls are discolored in bathroom and next to bed with dark colored drips down the wall. It was so hard to fall asleep because I knew there were more roaches. sure enough each time i woke up I would kill a few more. About 10 in total. So gross.

Perfectly adequate

Perfectly adequate. I hadn’t stayed at a Motel 6 in ages. I was only in Santa Barbara for one night and wanted something affordable and thus fit the bill. Room was small but perfectly comfortable. The bathroom was large and separated with a door. Bed was only a full size but it was fine. There is a fair amount of road noise but we brought a noise machine. If you just need a place to sleep for the night, it’s a good value for a pricey area.
