Manager was great with check-in! The hotel is in a great location and was a great price for 1 night in a Queen room in SB. Easy drive to downtown state street and East Beach. The comforter was stained in several spots and the floors had grounded-in smudges. Mattress was comfy and the shower/water pressure was fantastic. No fridge, wifi... More

Well, I agree with the other traveler that said that Santa Barbara is pricey. This one is one of the cheapest in the area. This part of State Street is far away from the beach. In the area there are a lot of restaurants and other services and amenities, such as gas stations, stores, pharmacies... There is no breakfast, only... More

It's one of the cheaper options in Santa Barbara, but it has it's drawbacks. Its a couple of miles away from the centre and you need to take the car there. And of course there is no breakfast, wifi costs extra and no hairdryer in the room. On the other hand the room is clean, so not to bad either. More

Motel 6 is not the place that I would normally stay at but we wanted to spend 4 days in Santa Barbara and weren't looking to spend a lot. The location on State Street up near the La Cumbe mall was very convenient. There were great restaurants closeby in both directions including two "best of" winners, Jeannines and Flavor of... More

We stayed here for 1 night in Sep 2011 as part of our trip down the Pacific Coast Highway. The room was reasonably furnished but very small and with a general lack of care - for example there was a cigarette burn in the bed cover. The price was not bad for Santa Barbara but expensive compared to almost every... More

Staying at this hotel in May was like coming a full circle for me. I first stayed here over 10 years ago when I was just starting grad school at UCSB and looking for a place to live. It was nice to be able to get away and revisit this property. I've stayed at a variety of hotels in SB... More

"Budget-friendly" for Santa Barbara, that is--but if you're going to Santa Barbara, you'd best be prepared for that. The rooms were clean, the staff was friendly, and the location was terrific, with multiple local restaurants within walking distance. One thing: I wish that they'd bundle the wireless access cost into the room if you're staying more than a couple of... More

We had a choice of rooms upon arrival. The room itself was a fair size and the bathroom was clean and big enough. There was no free wifi so we paid the $3 for 24 hour use and were given a password that could only be used once so only one of our phones could access it. There are many... More

This was the first hotel where our booking wasn't on their system but the receptionist sorted us out quickly and ensured we were charged the price we were originally quoted. The room was small but functional enough and very clean and well presented. It is a drive into Santa Barbara but there's plenty of parking to be found. I can... More
