Didn’t disappoint
Pros:

Staff was friendly, room was clean, beds comfortable. Coffee in the morning was good. The best part was location! We walked to the beach in under 2 minutes. And the restaurant on the beach in 5 minutes and the zoo in about 8 minutes! Will definitely be back

Cons:

Everything was wonderful. Would be nice for the price to have a little something for breakfast.

Pros:

la vicinanza alla spiaggia

Cons:

è un motel ma fa pagare lo stesso il costo del parcheggio (anche se poco 10 usd - sarebbe opportuno includerlo direttamente nel costo della camera)
la camera per 4 è decisamente minuscola con impossibilità di aprire 2 valige

Pros:

Loved the location! The room was super cute and clean. It was really convenient to have a pet friendly room!
Check in was really easy and staff was very kind and helpful.

Cons:

The power went out right as we had to get up. It was still dark out and we had to use a flashlight to get ready. Not the fault at all of Motel 6, but it was unexpected.

Chambre rénovée mais vraiment très petite pour 4. Bien placée à 2 minutes à pied de la mer mais un peu loin du centre ville.

Cons:

Toute petite piscine (photo trompeuse).
Parking payant.
Motel de passage trop cher pour les prestations offertes.

Solide Wahl für Santa Barbara: gute Lage, modern, sauber, schöner Pool!
Pros:

Das Motel liegt sehr schön direkt am East Beach. Nach Downtown spaziert man etwa 20 Minuten einfach am Strand entlang. Der Pool ist sehr schön und es gibt morgens Kaffee an der Rezeption. Die Einrichtung ist neu und modern. Im Grunde kann man nix kritisieren, es war für uns als Familie zu viert einfach zu eng im Zimmer, aber das weiß man ja vorher. Von daher: Insgesamt ne super Option für Santa Barbara.

Cons:

Sehr kleine Zimmer. Parken kostet 10 Dollar extra pro Nacht.
