You know I’ve seen a lot of motel sixes throughout my life. This has to be the worst one I’ve ever stayed off. The floors were filthy. We stepped out of our stepped onto the floor and looked at our feet and they were dirty from the floor. Do they ever mop place? One of the reasons that we chose this is because they had a pool. The problem the stupid lady at the front desk wouldn’t open it. I went there in the morning to ask what time they open the pool cause I wanted to catch a quick swim she said nine 3930 came. It was still locked. I went and asked her she wouldn’t get off herchair walk 30 steps to unlock the pool gate. I waited and waited by 2 o’clock. It was too late. Your attitude was the worst attitude I’ve ever seen anybody have a hotel absolutely should be replaced. But it is a motel six so what should I expect. Do yourself a favor. Find another place to stay and spend a few more bucks.

I heard this was the 2nd Motel 6 ever. That’s cool. The place was alright. Staff were friendly. There were places to eat very near by. Parking was a little tight. The thing that turned me off from this place was the smell in the rooms. Kind of like industrial cleaners and mold. I had to air the room out every time I came back to it. It was almost so bad that I was about to leave. After the first few days, I got use to it and everything was fine, but it just smelled off. Again, it made sleeping and eating in the room almost impossible unless you aired it out for an hour or two. Value seemed solid, and like I said, the staff were friendly. I would not come back, unless I had to though.

We really enjoyed staying at this hotel but the only bad thing is that our room had a lot of mold and the windows wouldn’t open to get fresh air inside. Definitely need a better way to solve this mold problem. Mold is very dangerous to our health.

I had never stayed at a Motel 6 before because I had negative thoughts about it. Our spur of the moment trip to Santa Barbara, and the ridiculous prices there for just one night, made me rethink. This Motel 6 was immaculate, it looked totally remodeled, had "wood" flooring and the receptionist was friendly and efficient!

Know your location

The hotel is okay, its a motel 6. However make sure you know what location you are booking. I learned the hard way this was not it. There is more than one in Santa Barbara.

A very basic room (with no frills like tissues or shampoo) but the bed was comfortable, the Wi-Fi was good, and it turned out there was a great breakfast place just down the street.
