My husband and I decided to stay at the Motel 6 in Goleta because we were visiting our son who attends UCSB. This was one of the few motels/hotels in the area which accepted pets. We arrived with our little dog in tow. The room (one queen bed) has extremely small. The room had a bad odor coming from the... More

My husband and daughter were spending a couple of nights near Santa Barbara attending a sporting event at UCSB. I hadn't stayed at a Motel 6 for at least 10 years. When I went shopping for a hotel near the University, I saw that this Motel 6 had been remodeled and I read the reviews on Trip Advisor, so I... More

I am from the Santa Barbara area, but now live north, I checked my family in to here when I had a family member in the hospital. Although I was extremely uncomfortable with the check in process overnight :-/ It was a pretty decent room, completely renovated!!!

This is a good option when traveling to santa barbara. First of all I want to thank Lynn she was amazing. We were traveling to pismo beach 12/30/11 when our rental car broke down at midnight and our aaa tow truck took us there. She was phenomenal it was late and cold, and our car rental company (HERTZ) was giving... More

We actually live in Goleta but have no room for guests. When my parents come for a visit it would be $1k minimum for them to stay at even the Holiday Inn just down the street from the 6. You cannot beat Motel 6 in price, for sure, but the important part is that it's really a very clean, safe,... More

Rooms are been remodeled and are very clean. Flat screen in room. You can also order room service from a catering site.

First of all, Santa Barbara is REALLY expensive. This Motel 6 offered a reasonable alternative (given the area.) The room was very updated - very Ikea and modern. It got very humid in the room but that may be due to the humidity of the outside air? We travel with our little fur baby and they don't have an additional... More

The new rooms are very nice, very IKEA style, but they smell almost too new..! There was quite a potent paint/new furniture smell in our room. Still, a refreshing change from some of the other motels we stayed in. All of Santa Barbara is pretty expensive, this was the best deal I could find, still quite expensive in my opinion... More
