We asked for a room with a better view and were given a very nice room on the second floor with a wonderful view and this made our stay so pleasant. We liked the room, we liked the location, and service was very good. Plenty of parking space, a grocery store nearby, and beach is just across two roads. Nice... More

We stayed here for a night in February 2013. The price is extremely affordable for Santa Barbara ( 80-90 dollars). The rooms were very nice, newly furbished, spotless clean and large. If you ask for a second floor room facing the ocean you will have a very nice view of the beach. I believe it is one of the best... More

Awesome location. The rooms are nice looking but small. We only had an option for a queen bed and that was very uncomfortable. There was also a train that went by pretty late at night that was super loud. This place is inexpensive for Santa Barbara and it is a half block from east beach which is why we stayed... More

Here is a great value: the least expensive hotel in an expensive city, half a block from the best beach in that city. As you would expect, there is no closet or dresser, just a rack with some hangers, and some shelves. Everything was neat and clean though, and although we did not have an ocean view we enjoyed the...

Ask for rooms upstairs overlooking the pool with an ocean view and you won't be disappointed. For $86.00 (SENIOR RATE) we were half a block from East Beach," around the corner " from a trendy fresh produce GROCERY...within walking distance of the Santa Barbara Zoo, and could easily rent bicycles or just walk to Stearn's Wharf! Our room had a... More

If you are looking for a place to crash in Santa Barbara, this is it. The room was clean and comfortable. No extras. If you are used to a hotel room, this is not for you. If you are looking for a place to sleep and close to the beach, you have found a gem.

My husband has not been well. This is the first time we have traveled anywhere in over a year; however, we do not have much more time together and just wanted one more good memory. So we decided on a little getaway with our dog - and Motel 6 is truly dog friendly. The price ($77 before taxes) was better... More

Our purpose in finding a hotel room is NOT to hang out in it but to SLEEP well and this was IMPOSSIBLE due to the RIDICULOUS lumps and springs in the bed!!!! We will NOT be returning nor will we recommend this chain to anyone. We were here for a wedding and the next morning heard about how everyone else's... More

We chose the Hotel 6 in Santa Barbara because it is very difficult to find a parking space for a RV with the Hotel in this city. The staff was very friendly but the rooms are very unloving and uncomfortable and the bed linen was dirty. It is quite far away from the "city center" but very near to the... More
