We stayed at this Motel 6 with low expectations given the price, and it ended up being about what we anticipated.
Pros:
âą Check-in was quick and easy.
âą The room was decent enough for our short stay.
âą Good locationâclose to Solvang and Santa Barbara without breaking the bank.
âą Convenient highway access.
âą Nearby gas stations, fast food, and a grocery store.
Cons:
âą The room could have been cleaner and is in need of upgrades.
âą Very noisy neighbors late at night, with no enforcement from staff.
âą Parking lot felt sketchyâpeople drinking, playing loud music, and even leaving a urine trail near my car.
âą Someone left a puppy unattended in their room that barked nonstop, and it didnât seem like staff checked on it.
âą Lots of loitering outside at all hours; people smoking near the rooms, and with the doors not sealing well, smoke carried inside.
âą Weak WiFi.
âą Not enough pillows.
âą Poor lighting in the room.
âą Weak water pressure.
âą Ineffective AC.
âą No elevatorâbe prepared to carry luggage upstairs if youâre on the second floor.
Overall, itâs fine if you just need a budget-friendly place to crash, but donât expect comfort or peace and quiet.
