Motel 6 Santa Barbara - Beach

Upon arrival the staff was very helpful and got us to our room in no time. Even after going out to dinner and returning only to find an issue with parking, the evening staff member didn't quit until the issue was resolved. Very helpful.

Very clean and nice room. In front of the beach, we liked it very much & we would go back any time.

The location is outstanding but remember to bring your own shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and kleenex, blow dryer, coffee pot and coffee as the hotel does not provide. Also, the room was very small, two full beds, a nightstand between with a phone, a small table with two chairs under the tv and that is it! You also have to pay for the internet. Again, great location but bare minimum amenities.

Not so cheap to be a motel but you are really ocean front, two steps from the beach. Everything is almost new and with modern furniture. That's a pity that wifi connection is not included in the price. You also don't find shampoo and air conditioning in your bathroom but only in the hall as a Garnier sponsorship. Besides there is no airdryer. First day I've also fuond stains on a towel, it was not dirty but stained. Second evening, to the reentry in room,, we ought to go back to the hall to train again the key that was no more working: problem immediatly solved.

This Motel 6 is located very close to the beach (2 minutes by foot). State street (center of Santa Barbara) is about 1.5 miles. Rooms are small, but comfortable (TV, small table) and furniture looks new. Unfortunately, soundproofing is bad, and we had noisy neighbors. I guess this motel attracts party-men, so it's probably often like that...

Was good for a one - two night stay. In a great location, not far from state street and the zoo and was right next to the beach and the 101 fwy. However the room smelled like rotten fish, but after 15 min. or so you get use to it haha.

It is always a kick to stay at Motel 6 -- on the beach and just down the street from Fess Parker's Resort!

Since its Santa Barbara theres alot of oldfolk...unfortuatly they wake up to early and to loud!!!!

The first thing was the hotel charged me another $10.00 when I arrived, I ask the cashier about the increased amount and she said it was taxes. . It seemed nice enough and clean at first, but the bed spreads had stains on them, and when I pulled back the blanket and top sheet to get in, there was dirt, it felt like sand! When I looked to see what it was I found black hair! The reading material they left in the room said they were going green and were only going to change the sheets every third day, they didn't say anything about not changing them in-between guest, maybe they were conserving water. We were on the bottom floor and it sounded like some one was moving furniture and slaming doors upstairs, over and over. Also things kept falling on the floor when we went to set them down because the furniture was miniture. The other thing is there wasn't a hair dryer and no shampoo or conditioner, which I needed because I forgot, but on the plus side they left me a brush with hair tangled in it in case I forgot that too. The location was good.

The room was a bit small but other than that, our Motel 6 stay was excellent. The extras are minimal - don't expect more than a working TV and a few clean towels, but the service was fast and friendly; the room clean and pleasant. The view is beautiful on either side of the motel (you'll get either mountains or the ocean). Effortless walk to the beach and easy access to the Santa Barbara Zoo and the downtown area.
