We didn’t arrive until 2:00am, but the front desk was open and helped us check in quickly. The person at the desk was very friendly and check out was easy. The only issue was the mini fridge. It’s pretty loud at night. We needed to use it, but I’m guessing it would be better if you could unplug it. Overall, it’s what we expected and was great for a 2 day trip

Great value. Good upstairs room facing mountains.
Great value and a wonderful Front Desk Manager. Room was surprisingly nice for a Motel 6 as I've stayed in the Buellton location and it was awful. Beds were fine, pillows fine, the place was very clean. The only recommendation is an extra towel for two people as only one full bath towel was in the room but we got another easily.

Perfectly adequate
Perfectly adequate. I hadn’t stayed at a Motel 6 in ages. I was only in Santa Barbara for one night and wanted something affordable and thus fit the bill.
Room was small but perfectly comfortable. The bathroom was large and separated with a door. Bed was only a full size but it was fine. There is a fair amount of road noise but we brought a noise machine. If you just need a place to sleep for the night, it’s a good value for a pricey area.
