Santa Barbara Motel 6

Santa Barbara is always nice to come back to. Don't ever get rid of phones in the room, pets allowed, and no deposit at (most including this) Motel6(s). These are features that customers can usually always count on which set this chain apart from many other budget hotels. Laundry also (which this Motel6 doees not offer) is otherwise usually appreciated as one of this chains standard amenities included. It might not be the most glamourous hotel chain, but Motel 6s are are one of the more consistant with amenities that customerscan count on when needed :).

I liked the area it was located, room was clean, front desk was quick but the walls are super thin. You can hear everything. I didn't sleep well. I wouldn't stay here solely for that reason. Everything else was fine.

I would definitely stay here again. My room was clean and had everything we needed for our 2 night stay . The A/C worked perfectly, appreciate that it’s dog friendly they even had a small potty area in the back to allow the dogs to relief themselves. Lots of dinning options all walking distance.
