Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Poor communication between staff. Room was clean. The room had two beds. One bed was so close to the heater/air conditioner the air would blow directly on you while you were trying to sleep. Our door would not lock from the outside. You could just push on the door and the door would open. No need for a key.

Avoid Room 106 - Bad Mold
Worst Motel 6 stay ever!! The front Desk knows that Room 106 has mold in it but they still continue to let guests stay in this room. They do not fix anything and just clean the room and let other guests stay there. After complaining the next day they gave a room on second floor which was ok.

The check-in and checkout process was very easily, and the staff was polite and friendly. The hotel itself was exceptionally clean and it’s not a great location, walking distance from restaurants, shops, and bars and the beach.

Rooms were small but clean, it served its purpose we were only in the room to sleep. They have a blow dryer and iron but you must ask for it at the front desk, it’s not in the room. Coffee and tea are available in the morning in the hotel office. You are walking distance to several restaurants and Albertsons.

Better Than Expected
This Motel 6 felt safe & clean, and the gentleman at the checkout desk was very friendly and kind. Yes the property is dated...but it's hard to get good deals on hotels in the Santa Barbara area, and I felt this was better than I expected.
