This place exceeded our expectations. The rooms have all been renovated and are now all nicely decorated in modern, minimalist designs. The floors are all laminate-giving you a clean feeling. The rooms also have a flat screen TV and a cute corner breakfast nook. You are located 1/2 block from the beach, but 1/2 hour walk from all the shopping... More

Wow, we couldn't have been more pleased with our 3 day 2 night stay in this Motel 6 Santa Barbara-Beach, $129+tax a night. We made reservations a month in advance after reading tons of reviews of what a great place this is. We arrived at 3:00 pm, got room 205, Non-smoking, upstairs, ocean view, and OMGosh the view is wonderful.... More

Being a motel the room was clean and enough to sleep quietly. Decor was modern with new furniture. It is located in a nice area in Santa Barbara near the beach.

We stayed at the Motel 6 Santa Barbara - Beach two nights in april 2012. Clean, safe, straightforward motel. Nothing exceptionel but a good choice if you want a good place to stay overnight. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Very near the beach. There's a ten minutes drive to downtown Santa Barbara and to the pier restaurants.

I have stayed here repeatedly over several decades. (UCSB Graduate, 1977). It's hard to believe that these rooms once rented for $6.00 per night! (Hence, the name.) Often, they are now over $200 per night, and are still the lowest rates in town. We stayed here April 6th most recently. We had a second floor room (2 doubles, #223), with... More

It's a motel 6 so you get the basic:a modest, clean room with just coffee offered in the morning. To be one short block from the ocean for around $100 makes this one of the best bargains I've encountered.

I am from Santa Barbara so, I know the area and how Santa Barbara used to be before it was discovered. Santa Barbara was a sleepy, beach community with kind people who did kind things. A time when life in Santa Barbara was simple and cool, not glitzy and faced paced. Well, that Santa Barbara still remains at this special... More

We stayed for 1 nignt in February 2012. We arrived about 11am and were not able to check in. The reception staff did not have a map and were rather unhelpful. When we did check in the room was nice, it didn't have a hairdryer or tea and coffee facilities. There was wifi but you had to pay for it.... More

I have stayed here several times and will return again. The rooms have been updated and are very comfortable. Considering the extremely high prices for hotels in Santa Barbara, this is a great deal and wonderful location.
