Motel 6

I had nothing but the BEST experience here. My boyfriend and I were greeted as soon as we entered the door, and the process was SUPER quick! The room was very clean, cozy, and modern. It was perfect for a quick stay before we hit the road again. Also, funny story, I accidentally put their remote control in my bag, and since I do not have a TV in my temp apartment, I wanted to return it to them. Reuben and Joseph were very helpful! Anyways, I had a great experience :) Thank you, Motel 6!

WARNING:
Let me just tell you…
This place has BED BUGS BEWARE!!!
***This place honestly should be shut down with the amount of bed bugs that we encountered! ***
No breakfast, you would think for 150 a night they would offer their customers something.
There is NO free internet YOU gotta pay 5 dollars that expires in less then 24 hrs and very slow.
The so called girl manager seems very lost doesn’t have much friendliness too her or any form of happiness.
If you have a trailer or any large vehicle you have to park at cvs in their parking lot in the back.
Room is awfully small even the room with two beds.
The ac/​heater smells awful
Closet vanity has one whole door to the toilet and shower! No privacy between
IM TELLING YOU THERE IS BED BUGS AND YOU WILL END UP WITH THEM AT YOUR HOUSE!
***ALSO IF YOU LOOK AT THE REVIEWS IN THE NOT RECOMMENDED SECTION ANOTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINED OF BED BUGS AS WELL IN 2015. ***
BEST OF LUCK STAYING HERE…

Convenient location compared to Santa Barbara hotels and really close to the campus and airport. and zipcars.
Yes there is a freeway but there is also a lot of stores nearby you can also catch the public transit nearby and go everywhere.
The room is clean the pool is freezing but I dont travel to stay in a hotel room but I did spend some time here and it was perfectly fine because I was sleeping when I was there.
TV and wifi is better than most.
Staff was friendly and helpful and the room was clean every time I came back

this review is for Motel6 chain in general and not specifically for this Specific motel6.
Cons:
1. room is pretty small
2. no complementary breakfast
3. no free internet.. need to buy for $ 5/​day
4. no basic amenties like fridge, iron, coffee maker, microwave etc which are there in other motels
Pros:
Nothing specific. If its cheaper compared to others then you can go for it.

Stayed here for a soccer tournament close by, not by choice naturally but because of limited options. Price was higher than usual because of demand in the area. I think at $ 90 this would be a fair deal but at double that price the manager should be sporting a gun and mask as its straight up robbery.
Bring your own soap and shampoo and unless you like thin sandpaper for towels bring those as well. Plenty of stains all over the bathroom floor (looked like burns) and a pretty horrible smell coming from the bathroom sink drain. Fun times.
The AC shot straight up into the curtain which, make no mistake, you need to keep closed at all times. Mattress was what I can only assume to be prison grade, very thin and you feel every single one of those steel springs on your spine. The room had a described ‘modern’ décor which oddly looked more 1960 to me. TV was a small flat panel Philips unit but you don’t care because you do not want to spend any time in this room. Its tiny.
Any highlights? Sure, the pool area was great for the kids. Clean enough and pool towels provided (slightly better than the towels in the rooms). Right off the 101 its also close to UCSB and walkable to a grocery store, couple fast food chains and a couple pharmacies.
Stay elsewhere if you can, this should be a last choice type of thing.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Made a reservation when we arrived at 10:00 PM the clerk in a matter of fact tone told my wife and I he had given away 1 of the 3 rooms we reserved. He said he did not think we were going to show up after calling my wife’s phone 20 minutes prior to our arrival. There were 3 couples in our group and we were moving our daughter’s to their new home. Every hotel in the area was booked solid so going to another hotel was not an option.
I am 47 years old and have never had a hotel reservation cancelled on me. Boo Motel 6 Goleta.
While sitting in my car and searching the web for other viable options, I saw a Santa Barbara County deputy patrolling the parking lot, which was comforting.
Next time, I will stay at the state beach campground. They have showers, friendlier staff, better scenery and cost 150.00 less per night.

This place is an absolute rip off. Over $ 200/​night for a Motel 6?! Wow. Not to mention that the rooms are noisy, walls are paper thin, beds are uncomfortable and the pillows are hospital-​quality. Also, the check in receptionist girl on Friday afternoon was rude and dismissive. Oh, and when we were checking out, there was an exterminator parked next to us, heading into the hotel with his gear.
Don’t waste your money here.

I mean there isn’t really much to be said that hasn’t already been said. It’s a Motel 6. Brown stained edge of the pillows, I didn’t even want to sleep in the bed to be honest. The bathroom was clean but the towels were thin. It was also a little much for close to no quality.
But we moved down the street to the Best Western for not much more than the Motel 6 and we can now appreciate more the quality of a nice hotel! Haha

My friend made the reservations for the room, but was arriving a few hours after me. Motel 6 allowed me to register into the room so I didn’t have to take a nap in the car until she arrived. The check in process was very nice and the gentleman that helped me was extremely friendly and attentive.
As I tried following the attendants direction to the room I took so many wrong turns, his directions were horrible! But I finally found my room. As I opened the door, it was clean but tooooo small. Hardly enough room to store our bags and walk comfortably to the bathroom. There were no toiletries, not enough towels and no blow dryer.
I guess I can’t complain too much as it is a Motel 6, not the Hilton. It was decent and fit the needs.

Stayed here based on reviews I saw on
where I booked my stay. Can’t beat it for $ 80 which came out to around $ 100 with tax for a non-​smoking room with 1 double. It was a handicap-​accessible room with a walk-​in shower which was different but nice since the shower head is a handheld with adjustable height, great for us short people. For a 1-​night stay just for me it was perfect. Less than 10-​min away from the airport. 24hr Denny’s is right town the street. This place was awesome for a late flight in and had everything I needed readily available with no sketchy people like most Motel 6s. In my Terminator voice: «I’ll be back.»

It’s a motel 6 you get what you pay for.
It was relatively clean, the room I stayed in was very modular in design and I had no problem locating all of the essentials (towel soap etc). I wish they gave a bit more shampoo but alas it was not to be.
All in all I have no major complaints. It was a little sketchy looking from the outside but once you got in it was fine.

It’s a Motel 6.
