Motel 6-Santa Barbara, CA - Beach

What an amazing experience! The location is incredible and we now can say that we have stayed at the world's first Motel 6! Definitely a great value for the location and amenities that you get with the room. Parking was also very convenient. Booking I think did a great job with whatever rooms they Reserve ahead of time the view was excellent. The room was wonderfully renovated and modern but still had a retro vibe and had everything that you needed to have comfortable stay. My only two complaints are that we did book a room that said it had a shower in the tub and there was no tub. I'm a new mom and really was looking forward to that tub and the room did not have it. Additionally the rooms are quite small for what you would expect for a modern-day hotel but I think they are priced fairly and you get Fair facilities for the price and location. This hotel is the original Motel 6 so yes people were smaller and a lot of other things were smaller back then so that's not so much of a big deal but something to keep in mind if you have more than two people in the room it would definitely be tight!

My family and I did not expect that we would get such a high quality service including high quality Internet and Premium TV channels. And I have the honor to confirm that every member of the staff, whether at the Lobby or anyone who worked to keep clean within the property, was just absolutely friendly and was simply superb in the professional performance of their work and showed the best human and moral qualities. I give you the most the highest appreciation of your work and your quality and quality property. Thank you for the pleasure of being within your limits. Rest assured that we are very grateful to you for our time in your hospitable home. We celebrated my husband's birthday. Keep being like that. Be sure you are one of the best in all respects. Thanks again to each and every one of you. I wish you continued success and prosperity.

I loved the room layout and decor and that it was clean. I was alone but it is perfect for one or two people. There was a large open floor space where I could easily do yoga. Keurig coffee maker in the room. If I'm back in Santa Barbara, I'd definitely stay here again. Compared to other properties, this was a great value with better ratings and location than less expensive options. Glass shower doors and tiled walls and floor. This corner room has a double corner window that's reminiscent of a Frank Lloyd Wright design. Very nicely done for a Motel 6! If you like a trail workout (hike or run), try Inspiration Point.

The motel is in a great location right by the beach. The compact room was very clean. I liked the design and layout, with its fun bright colors, useful storage, and wooden flooring. The bathroom was clean and the walk-in shower was spacious. I appreciated the hot water for tea in the lobby in the morning. I don’t think there was anything available to eat for breakfast, but they offered small containers of juice. I had read that the beach side rooms were quieter than the highway side, so I requested one on the beach side and was glad there was one available.

There was nothing not to like! From booking in to passing the cards back, everything went well!. One really sensible approach was to ask us if we wanted our towels changed every day (no! We don't at home so why when we are only there 3 days/4nights?). At the same, we were asked if we wanted our room cleaned daily; again the answer was No Thank You!
