Pros, staff was professional, kind and helpful. Room was immaculately clean. Cons, only a peek at the water unlike what was advertised. No microwave unless paying an extra 20.00.

We had a great experience at this motel. It is a budget motel for this area but don't be deterred by this. We had an extremely comfortable experience and it was renovated and very clean. If I am in the area again, I will stay here. Steps from the beach to watch the sunset. Comfortable bed. Very nice experience here!

This is the best motel 6 I have ever seen. The retro decorating was great! (Right down to the mini fridge) Great location and the night guy who checked us in was great! The bed was pretty darn nice and the pillows were excellent.

I had researched this property and knew it wasn’t a standard motel 6…it was perfect for what we needed. Clean, great location and free parking. Rooms were smaller, but well appointed and clean/refreshed. Would recommend for anyone who appreciates location and simplicity

I’ve stayed here a couple times and it’s perfect. It’s super close to the beach and depending on your room you can see the ocean would stay here over and over again.

Perfect location, walk to the beach, clean, beautiful room, a bottle of wine included. For a Motel 6 this is top rated as they are usually not so but in Santa Barbara, it’s the way to go.

Property is great for a weekend away in Santa Barbara! The room is super clean, and the staff are really friendly, easy check-in and checkout process. The only negative is it? It’s quite noisy when you’re in the room. You can hear people if they come back in the middle of the night so you just need to sleep with like a sound machine or something but other than that it was perfect.
