Beautiful hotel very close to the beach. Staff was so kind and helpful! Only downsides were the pool isn't heated (it was a chilly day and we wanted to swim but without heating the pool was super cold) and no coffee machine in room (but there was freshly brewed coffee in the lobby). Had a wonderful stay and would def stay 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.

The place was fine, but the price for a Motel 6 was ridiculous. Sure, it’s a classic being the first one ever, but it’s still a Motel 6. And the parking was super tight.
