Would Stay there Again
I agree somewhat with the three reviews, but it is a Motel 6, what do you expect. I love this Motel and would stay there again. If you want luxury, stay at a four star hotel.
I just needed a place to take a shower and crash at night. I was out kayaying, swimming, walking, shopping and just having a very good time with all sorts of things to do.
The beach is just across the street. I walked it every morning. The shops and restaurants around the motel were very expensive, but just a short 5 minute drive pass the marina was another shopping center for average income people. McDonalds, Subway, CVS Drug Store, and a grocery store.
Santa Barbara is a very expensive town and this Motel 6, for staying right on the beach, you cannot beat the price. Of course the rooms are small, but the service was great.
So if you're looking for a place to just take a shower, and get a good night sleep, this place is ideal. If you're looking for maid service, coffee in your room in the morning, and those little soaps, pay the price and stay at a luxury hotel.
