All the staff members were fantastic! However, there were glitches, partly due to Hotels.com and partly the actual computer system onsite. There is no "ocean view"; yet, it was confirmed that I would have an "ocean view". The location is a lovely walk down to East Beach, so not so bad. But, there needs to be more accurate descriptions.

The location was great just across from the beach, the room had a slight view to the ocean. Room was clean and comfortable. The room wasn’t very sound proof so there was some noise at night, but thankfully didn’t have any very loud neighbors.

Location is great, close to East Beach and also not to far from downtown Santa Barbara. However, cleanliness could be improved (shower floor was dirty). Waiting times at reception were long, 30 mins at check in. Also rooms are very small and descriptions misleading, our “deluxe room” did not face the ocean but an parking lot and noisy train line. Didn’t see the difference to a standard room.

For a Motel 6, this was a wonderful place. It is the original Motel 6 so it is far from what was expected. A 2 minute walk to the beach and 20 minute walk to the pier.

Unwelcoming host No microwave “rental guy left hours ago” No breakfast Unclean room with hair in comforter Lied to expedia that we were there for an hour when in fact we immediately contacted expedia, requested a cancellation and immediately left, all within less than 30 minutes (as expedia had a long wait time on chat and on the phone) Despite almost immediate request for cancellation a cancellation fee was applied. Highly not recommended due to uncleanliness, poor customer service and lack of professionalism
