Motel 6 Carpinteria, CA - Santa Barbara - North

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"I LOVED this hotel so much. I’ve traveled a lot and never stayed at any hotel quite like this one. I was so sad to leave, I wish I could’ve just stayed there forever haha. The room was beautiful, clean, renovated and had a lovely view of the water. There was a park and courtyards between the buildings, dining options, a mini free library, 2 heated pools and every night there was a s’mores bar and hot chocolate from 6-8 and it was so peaceful. Not to mention the best part, it was directly across from the beach. What more could one possibly want? "
