Motel 6 Goleta, CA - Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Clean, safe and generally well-kept property. Good for a no-frills stay."

4BR Near UCSB & Santa Barbara • Private Hot Tub • Walk to Beach • Pool access

10/10 Excellent

"This property was a clean, great space to gather our group of 8 coming from Oregon and Sonoma County. It was all of our first time to Santa Barbara area. We enjoyed the fact that the space was large enough inside and outside to allow everyone their space. The hot tub was great and clean too. The kitchen had most everything that we needed to cook with except for a blender. It is a little removed from downtown SB and the Ubers were expensive because of it. Overall, it was a great time and would book here again in the future."
