I've stayed here a few times and have never had an issue. The staff is cool, the property is clean, and the location is great. The only little complaint would be that the parking can be a little annoying... This location sells out often so finding a spot in the evening can be a little more difficult. Other than that it's great.. I'll definitely be staying here again.

The beds were too soft for me and the door to our room would not fully close. It was able to lock but did not close tightly which made me nervous.bathroom was a bit shabby.

This is a very convenient location. I used stay here often to go visit our daughter at Ucsb. However, the price of the room during graduation weekend was outrageous.

It’s located close to UCSB. Near by food options across the street from drug store. Staff that checked us in was such a pleasure. She checked us in with ease. I was very please with my first stay at Motel 6.

The Motel6 in Goleta was better than I expected. The room was very functional and somewhat updated, albeit a bit tight for two people with two beds... AC worked well and for my memories of Motel 6, the hotel (and AC) was quieter than usual. Very pleasant and helpful employees.

I booked this room because it was close to the airport as my kids were arriving late and were taking an Uber to the motel. When I arrived, the checkin was friendly, I got the bottom floor that I wanted, the room smelled clean and was clean PLUS it had a microwave, refrigerator, shampoo, lotion, and soap! Not many Motel 6's are this diligent on customer satisfaction. Bonus... food delivery and coffee in the morning! Truly satisfied. Will be staying again soon!
