Perfect location a block away from East Beach in Santa Barbara, walking or short driving distance to State Street restaurants and bars. While it's a motel, so basic rooms and amenities, but it has been tastefully updated.

We paid for a deluxe room that was supposed to have a microwave and refrigerator, but there was no microwave. The room was the size of a shoebox. The bed was very very uncomfortable.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
It would have been nice if hot water was available in the evening for tea. The man at the desk did get us some one night.

Amazing stay one block if that from the beach. Stayed only one night as we attended a funeral. I was very weary about a Motel 6, but read reviews, looked at pictures, googled area, and decided to take a chance. It was great check-in, room was small but so cute decorated with a 60s vibe. Area was nice too. Parking was a bit scarce but then again it’s Santa Barbara. I would definitely recommend and stay there again. Price was great to others in the area, and totally remodeled, clean rooms.

I hadn’t stayed at a Motel 6 in years, but this place really passed the test. The room was rather small, but it was very nicely designed in cute retro, the bed and pillows were comfy and the TV was large and good. The front desk clerk and housekeepers were very nice and we enjoyed chatting with them when checking out. Location was perfect, as the beach is a block away and many restaurant choices are within walking distance.

It was right before storm started that weekend, it was just perfect timing to spend the day and venture into a trolley tour and enjoy the city! The location was just perfect! You crossed the street, and the beach and ocean were just there!

Hi there, I’m not that much old, but remember good times, when something was wrong, Front Desk ( Shearon, Marriott & intourist too). Would apologies & tried to accommodate your needs. Now was different, room was facing highway ( nothing mentioned reg. that at the reviews). King of shocked and asked to move the room - facing any other direction…. And guess what - they technically have to blame me and ask additional charge ( hidden fees). What was this park of the World tern into? P.S. it’s my first visit, full of stress and inhuman robotic behaviour from stuff in General. Nothing morality has been introduced here. How is thst, plz someone explane.

The retro style remodel of the rooms is genius. Our room was small but very clean and comfortable. The mini fridge, microwave, and Kuerig coffee machine all matched in color and fun retro style. The shower was delightful, I wished I could take it with me! Parking and check in were both easy, and the hotel is spitting distance from the beach. I would absolutely stay here again.

The area was nice and the room was very comfortable. The room was small but everything was designed well for an overnight stay. I also received a complimentary bottle of wine and the mints inside the room added a nice too.

This is our second stay here. This time I was asked if I wanted upper or lower. I chose upper but it was so loud due to the freeway. Be sure to ask for lower.
Also I booked through Expedia withe the promise of a complimentary bottle of wine. Nope. No wine.
I do like the retro feel. And the price. And the two teen boys who checked me in were great.
