Although the units are small, everything detail was designed well. The place was very clean, and crew members are constantly working and keeping the place clean and tidy. We will definitely be back if we’re traveling around the area again.

1-night trip

10/10

Absolutely outstanding stay! I’m picky and wasn’t sure about a Motel 6, but it was the best stay of our extended trip to all of CA. The location, within walking distance to the beach, like a block away, was fantastic! The room is updated, immaculately clean, and very comfortable. I felt very safe too. Great quick service too. Highly recommend!

2-night trip

4/10

Pros: Location, friendly staff, and good bed. Cons: Old, outdated even thought renovated, small rooms, dirty (lots of hair in the small shower), noisy. I have stayed in over 15 hotels in Santa Barbara over the past 10 years, and this is the bottom of the barrel.
