Not the friendliest staff. Check in time is 3pm, we arrived at 3:30. Got our key and opened the door to find a dirty room; housekeeping had not been in to clean it yet. Went back hoping for another room only to find that that one wasn’t clean either. We were told to come back in an hour and a half. Kinda peeved, but I know stuff happens. We grabbed lunch and headed back after the requested amount of time to see housekeeping just entering our original room to clean it. After a 3 hour road trip, we just wanted a rest before heading out to an event. But with the room still dirty and daylight burning we had to head straight to the event tired and irritated. When we finally got back, the room was “cleaned” but tiny and just really not great; pretty dated. The bed was the best part of that stay, very comfy. We will never stay there again. You definitely do not get what you pay for here. If it was super cheap / budget, hey I get it, but it was kinda pricey and Not worth it at all.

All the staff members were fantastic! However, there were glitches, partly due to Hotels.com and partly the actual computer system onsite. There is no "ocean view"; yet, it was confirmed that I would have an "ocean view". The location is a lovely walk down to East Beach, so not so bad. But, there needs to be more accurate descriptions.

The location was great just across from the beach, the room had a slight view to the ocean. Room was clean and comfortable. The room wasn’t very sound proof so there was some noise at night, but thankfully didn’t have any very loud neighbors.

Location is great, close to East Beach and also not to far from downtown Santa Barbara. However, cleanliness could be improved (shower floor was dirty). Waiting times at reception were long, 30 mins at check in. Also rooms are very small and descriptions misleading, our “deluxe room” did not face the ocean but an parking lot and noisy train line. Didn’t see the difference to a standard room.

For a Motel 6, this was a wonderful place. It is the original Motel 6 so it is far from what was expected. A 2 minute walk to the beach and 20 minute walk to the pier.

Close to beach. Staff was wonderful. Only negative- rooms really small and beds not the greatest. But for a Motel 6, was pleasantly surprised.
