Pros +
- Good location. Close to Carpinteria downtown and beach once you figure out how to get there.
- The location was perfect and price range was decent. The staff was friendly.
- Very clean, lots of parking.
Cons -
- Creepy people all hours of night & early morning housekeeping kept entering my room when I was gone after speaking to manager over & over they kept trespassing without my permission to enter. Wrong room was given upon check in Had to refund 1 night
- Right by the freeway so non stop traffic noise all night. I was put on the 3rd floor which was ok except every day I went up the stairs just to go back down to the office to get my key updated because it expired since not coded for esch day and back up.
- The shower was dirty, moldy and definitely needed to be redone. They didn?t provide enough towels, was constantly asking for more each day. Felt they could?ve done a better job cleaning the rooms.

Close to the freeway
Close to the beach.
Not enough towels, pillows and shower caps. Leaking in the bathroom.
Central location close to town easy access for Santa Barbara and beach.Free internet.Free morning coffee.
Freeway noise interfered with sleeping.Also first night rowdy guests floor above with lots of thumping and bumping going on til late at night.I would not stay here again due to the noise.
Only one available
I would like a credit room 136 where my husband and I stayed the outlet was not working in front of the mirror. We had to unplug the microwave to plug in our stuff which made it very difficult because we were away from mirror.
They are very attentive ! But what I want reanbusted for the 5/6 I was with out electricity for 8 hr !!!!
I was in the dark for 8 hr had no electricity at all...
It¿s very affordable and I always use this motel for my regular stays nothing special
The freeway noise but that was my fault I should have Asked to change key room to the opposite side of the building
Location
A/C did not work.Roach in the room.
Price and the area.
Roach infestation. Cleaning was not to par. Uncomfortable bed.
People were friendly. Pool was open. Nice overall.
My wife complained about the cleanliness of the hard wood floors. Mydaughter had changed to new socks the next day and one walk across the floor black and dirty sock bottoms. Overall the room was clean , but they should consider also mopping more often
Location. Coffee in the morning. Price.
Sheets can be renewed.
The room was very spartan, which I expected. There was no microwave or fridge, so I had pb&j for dinner. But the worst thing was I found plastic curtain hooks under the bottom sheet of the bed. The front desk apologized but no one seemed to care
Beautiful flooring. Great shower. Looks like it had been remodeled not too long ago.
Worst bed I¿ve ever tried to sleep on. Four buckets and a slab of plywood would have been more comfortable. I considered sleeping on the wood floor. Not just hard, but lumpy and worn out. Why Motel 6 can¿t put a pillow top on top of their mattresses?
The staff was probably the best part of the stay. 2nd - good amount of well lit parking. It was quiet for being off the freeway. The bed was comfy, room was decent. Good for a 1 night stay. Would stay again if in a bind. Hotel would be better if upgraded
There are no elevators. Only 1 shower towel for a room booked for 2. Only 1 bar of hand soap. Room had cockroaches. It was very late so we killed them ourselves and just stayed there.
Hotel room was full of cockroaches, and employee was rude when it was brought to their attention. Pool is closed, no housekeeping or cleaning services while there.
For $--- on a Saturday night, this place is a joke. I¿ve stayed at many Hotel 6 locations, and all were clean and decently-appointed. Bed only had 2 sheets and a disgusting blanket. Front door didn¿t open without a big shove. No bathroom amenities.
I have traveled the world and I have NEVER EVER HAD RAT DROPPINGS in a room before, I have never ever had spider nest in the corner of my walls, with very large ¿¿ spiders in them. I have never ever had a shelve iin the bathroom sink falling down, off¿¿
Mostly everything except the staff
Convenience everything Markets small town Very quiet hotel even though it's right on the freeway I have a great room, sunny spare yet enough space to stretch! Excellent
