The staff are very polite. They treat my friend with respect, even though he presents a scruffy, dirty appearance. He is a homeless man. A friend of mine, I take him to Motel 6 on days/nights when it is forecast to rain.
Both my friend and I appreciate the dignity with which he is treated.
I can assure you he is much cleaner, and less scruffy when he leaves.
I wish there was a way to help more homeless people come in from the rain and enjoy a hot bath.
Location location. Of course in Santa Barbara you should be happy just to be there, right?? But for over $200 a night you would expect a better room, cleaner bathroom and towels. Too bad
I have stayed through out the years at this Motel 6 and have had no complaints. This time I would not take a shower as the tub looked like it needed cleaning and it looked like mold around the tub. It was not mold nor did the tub need cleaning, on closer inspection the tub needed replacing. I was too tired to ask for a room change and had to leave for the airport in a few hours. The staff as usual was very helpful and friendly, but I will not stay again unless the room looks like it is clean.
Unlike my experience at Motel 6 in Stockton, My stay at Motel 6 Upper State street in Santa Barbara was wonderful. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful and I enjoyed my interactions with them at all different times of the day.
Comfortable bed, friendly staff and safe surroundings...what else do you need for a delightful stay!
We reserved 2 down stairs handicap access rooms with fridge and microwave. Upon check in they only had one room down stairs that fit our reservation and they pretty much were not sorry..a take it or leave it attitude. Pretty lousy. Toilets are in no way handicap compatible, beds hard as rocks, and over all just a bit dirty. The positive is the location is good, and it felt like a safe place. Guess you cat expect much from a motel 6.
I travel a lot and this is one of the worst places I have ever stayed. The room had a very strong odor of cleaning supplies. There was no closet. I could not even iron a shirt as there was no iron or ironing board. The bed was uncomfortable as it was a single mattress on a wood platform. The bathroom had no place to put my stuff except a 4" by 2 foot ledge. The room was basically a 10 x 10 foot room that you would see in a jail. management should be ashamed for charging $200 dollars for this room. Especially with zero amenities.
We drove down the coast for the night. just needed a clean comfortable room for the night post Santa Barbara Bowl Show. The rooms are sharp and clean and the pool was comfortable. The beds are not the softest but better than the nearby small local hotels. Motel 6 is always a good option if you simply want a clean comfortable place to crash. Oh and the service is always good!
I have been staying at Motel 6 State St. Santa Barbara once a year for the last 12 years. This location is the best for doing my annual physical. Even though Sansum Clinic is expanding, opening new facilities, the state st location is still central to most Clinic locations. I try to be there in May because the summer brings tourists and an increasing high rates.
The rooms are always clean so my stay is always good.
Thanks.
Convenient and quiet location. Room was clean and well maintained. Only complaint would be the floor left bare feet black. Slippers solved that. Front desk was friendly.
My view on Motel 6 has changed. I had several bad experience with Motel 6 previously, I would not make reservation with Motel 6 again.
But this time, I had to make last minute reservation and Motel 6 was the only option I had left within my budget for 3 adults for around $200 total.
It was definitely Reasonable and Comfortable stay.
Our overnight stay included a scheduled power outage from 10pm to 730am. Instead of Motel 6 notifying us ahead of time or even giving us flashlights, we found out by surprise. Highly inconvenient. The room's amenities were a little sub-par. Just a bit more effort would have made it an acceptable motel. The staff there was very nice and helpful, at the very least.
Thought the price was a little high but when I told Sean at the front desk that I was having car problems. He said he would take a look. He ended up putting oil in my car and saving me $$$. There is also the foot massage place across the street. Best foot massage EVER (ask for Leo)! And there a nice coffee house across the street I didn't notice the first time I stayed there (Vices and Spices)
Had to be someplace in Santa Barbara early so decided to drive in late the night before and since I was only needing a room for the night picked a cheap place. - NEVER AGAIN. the room smelled musty. The towels were like sand paper. The sheets hard and didn't offer warmth. - I paid 178. For the night and felt I over paid . First and LAST time I ever stay at a motel 6. Go ahead and turn the light I off for me.
