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!
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.
For Motel 6, this one I am giving a 5⭐️ as compared to other Motel 6 we have stayed in. It was easy to access, clean and staff were friendly. It is located centrally for the activities we had plannned. 🏍️
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.
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.
