Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - Beach

Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - Beach

8/10 Good
"the retro styling is fun, but it’s a motel 6 and you should expect a motel 6. the rooms are clean, small, neat, and basic. the location can NOT be beat at the price point, though. you’re just steps from west beach and parking was free and ample. honestly, it would have been a perfect room with a better mattress (awful) and better pillows and towels (suboptimal)."
