A very basic room (with no frills like tissues or shampoo) but the bed was comfortable, the Wi-Fi was good, and it turned out there was a great breakfast place just down the street.

This was our second Motel 6 and it was OK. Rooms weren’t very big but the air con was pretty good. Bathroom was ok. Room was pretty good value for money and we found a great brewery around the corner and a Korean BBQ place.

The property is on State St and is a short driving distance to the beach. There are numerous restaurants and bars in walking distance to the property. I didnt like that the room had a musty stinch that went away once the air conditioner was on. Cleanliness of the room was okay and the bed was comfortability was okay.

Extremely expensive for such a low-quality room. No hair dryer, no microwave, the room is very small — we could only open our suitcase in the bathroom.

Easily the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in, and I’ve stayed in $10 a night hotels in rural China. The air conditioning made a terrible racket. But it’s in Santa Barbara, and it’s a weekend in July, so almost $300 a night. For the most basic of rooms. An uncomfortable bed made of worn springs, a noisy AC unit, and a basic bathroom with okay water pressure (but plenty of hot water).
