The receptionist was very accommodating and helpful. The room was larger than expected. The bed linen looked nice and was comfortable.

Although floors were vacuumed, they did not seemed mopped. My feet got very dirty when I took my shoes off. I also saw a small cockroach on the phone in my room. Behind the bed at the headboard board did not seems as clean as it could be. There was a lot of handicapped parking & in front of my room. I could not find a space close and had to leave at 4:00 am to catch a plane & felt uncomfortable going outside at that time going to my car.

The rooms are not very big but they were quite comfortable, clean, and well arranged. Enjoyed our stay at this motel. Good value for the price. Also, the staff at the front desk welcomed us with hospitality as well. Good experience.

It is close to traffic, but it was ok, not noisy at night and we all slept well.

I recommend booking two nights at this hotel/ location if you are a sole female on a budget drive through the area because there is a lot of beautiful things to see and do. One night will not be enough to rest and feel rejuvenated during your sole road trip. After one night at the hotel, then one day of sightseeing in the area, I was so exhausted. I wish I had book two nights. My goal was to visit the Santa Barbara Mission for my first time and the hotel was priced fairly well on booking.com, and the hotel turned out to be a clean and safe with kind and friendly front deck staff. But if driving from Palm Springs to Seattle solo it is not worth driving to this hotel after after sunset for only one night stay because the hwy is dark scary and not lighted well and lots of construction on the highway at night enter Santa Barbara area with many closed Hwy lanes. The drive after dark is dangerous if you are feeling tired.

The entrance door lacks door seal all around. The gap results in light coming in from the light intersection all night long. The traffic in the road was not heavy to the intersection but I could hear the cars stop and break out side the window all nights long. The sounds of small delivery trucks noise turning right into the small and nice food shopping center just out side my window was not comfortable and for sleeping. The windows need to be double glass thickness for sound control. The window glass and frame was thin and useless because I felt like was sleeping outdoors. They have not bothered updating the windows at this hotel They are original 1960’s and cheap quality. Please fix the door and replace the window at least on this side of the building.

The room was clean, and I was able to check in early. The person at the front desk was very friendly.

The price for one night was insane for a motel 6, which was disappointing. It was noisy throughout the night, most of which can't be controlled. However, the neighboring room etc was quite loud.

Staff was very accommodating and let us check in when we arrived in the morning at no extra charge. The room had a mini fridge and microwave. The pool area was nice - it is right next to a busy highway though. Very close to the airport.

Really expensive for a Motel 6 but still the cheapest option in Santa Barbara.

I liked that the room was what started me using Motel 6 in the mid 1970s (I think the price was about 9 bucks); clean, neat, nothing fancy but a t.v. good shower and nice location. You get your money's worth.

Nothing I can think of.

Room was clean. Front office staff was friendly and answered my questions. It was quiet at night.

Not enough light in the back parking lot. I parked where there wasn't much light but the parking lot was full in the front, so didn't have a choice.

Good location for a visit to UCSB. Walking distance to restaurants. Clean but small room for 3 people.

Motel 6 used to be cheap. Not so much any more. Still, it was our cheapest option in Goleta.

It was better than expected. Looks like they recently remodeled the rooms to look more modern and easier to clean. It wasn't the best quality stuff, but was sufficient for what it was. There was no real amenities in the room, but what would you expect when you are paying less than other spots. The vending machines has shampoo and razor, plus there is a CVS right next door and a bowling alley with a sports bar and arcade on the other side.

Only thing I didn't really care for was the parking situation. Looks like a lot of contractors with big vehicles hogging the parking spaces and more vehicles than rooms.

The room was clean and the staff was friendly! They sent out a taxi to the airport to pick me up quickly which I appreciated!

I was only there overnight for a couple hours so I am not entirely sure but I did not see anything that I had a problem with
