"Gerry was so friendly and solicitous ~ I appreciated the sparkling water he offered and his general affability after a very long day of family and driving. The room was exactly what I'd hoped for: Clean, quiet, and convenient to everywhere I needed to go. Beautiful and safe neighborhood. I will definitely return the next time I travel alone."

Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - Beach

10/10 Excellent
"It was really clean and the room has fun beach decor. The towels were a bit worn but everything else was perfect. It is super close to the beach and Santa Barbara pier which was very nice. It does not feel like a motel 6 at all! "
