Great Location, but poor experience.

I stayed at the Motel 6 in Goleta, California this past weekend. While the location was convenient with plenty of restaurants, markets, and entertainment nearby, the room itself felt humid and musty, with poor air circulation and minimal lighting. The air conditioning struggled to cool the space, making it uncomfortable at times especially with four people sharing the room.

The only feedback I’d give is that the rooms are a little small but you could still figure out how to get coffee machines inside the rooms so the guests don’t have to go to the office every morning for their coffee. Also leave some conditioner as well. Not just lotion and shampoo.
