we needed two rooms, one for my father-in-law and one for my wife, my 4-year-old daughter and I. She was able to get us rooms next to each other. His was okay. Ours smelled, or more accurately reeked, of urine. They gave me a key for the new room. I opened the door and the safety latch was latched so... More

The gal who refunded my money deserved a star, I suppose. The room I got had a broken front door, evidence of a disaster; a party going on outside. I decided to go elsewhere. While I stood in the lobby I watched a guy come up with no car, rent a room with cash, and take a key. Another was... More

We just blew into this motel unannounced at 2 am in the middle of a long drive. We only stayed for 5 hours and all we needed was a clean, quiet, safe, cheap place to stay and it fulfilled those minimum requirements. For the price it was not what I expected, but in a good way. There wasn't a musty... More

I came to Santa Maria to attend a wedding with my fiance and her father, the groom was the one who made the reservations and due to a cultural festival in the area all other hotels were booked so Motel 6 on Preisker lane was our only bet. After checking in we entered our room and immediately noticed it was... More

This Location was next to my family. So we decided to stay there. But rooms were tiny and they smelled like feet. We changed Rooms the next day same result. Plus i guess the local kids rent out rooms and party all night long. skip this one next time!

Driving my daughter to UCSB and we needed a quick cheap overnight. If you just want a cheap overnight this works. The room we had smelled musty and the beds were squishy but hey, you get what you pay for, right? Overall it seemed clean. A key learning and a bit of 'tripadvisor': apparently the new trend in low budget... More

I stayed here for one night while headed back to Sacramento. The location is right off the freeway, so it's easy to find. I made the reservation online (using my phone). You save a couple of bucks that way. It's really had to beat the price. The room was clean and well maintained. You have to purchase a internet access... More

Close the freeway, and everything you would expect from an average Motel 6. Had the usual suspects in the laundry room and parking lot, though they were not out of hand. Decent enough for the price.
