This was our second Motel 6 and it was OK. Rooms weren’t very big but the air con was pretty good. Bathroom was ok. Room was pretty good value for money and we found a great brewery around the corner and a Korean BBQ place.

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!

The property is on State St and is a short driving distance to the beach. There are numerous restaurants and bars in walking distance to the property. I didnt like that the room had a musty stinch that went away once the air conditioner was on. Cleanliness of the room was okay and the bed was comfortability was okay.
