Motel 6-Carpinteria, CA - Santa Barbara - South

Let's be honest - the main driving force for staying at a Motel 6 is the low cost. The rates here were half or less than many other hotels in the area. If I wanted a luxury stay, I would have to pay far more, and expect far more. Given that this is a bargain motel, I thought everything was just fine. The room was cleaned daily, towels, soap, and shampoo were replaced regularly, beds made, etc. The room was large enough, with a spacious bathroom (we were in an ADA room), a mini-fridge, TV with remote, etc. We did not use the pool or laundry, but they were available, and the location was a moderate, comfortable walk to downtown shops , restaurants, and beach. I will also mention here that the motel seemed to be understaffed, which led to some longer lines and wait times. However, this is the way things are in the US right now in all hospitality from hotels to restaurants, so I do not fault them for this. All the staff I interacted with were friendly and pleasant even though they were stressed out.

Room was very clean and another guest commented that she also found their room to be very clean. The property itself was very clean and tidy. Towels were provided in the pool area so you didn't have to use your room towels. The pool was at an acceptable temperature. I was nervous since I stay at more expensive hotels but I was pleasantly surprised and for the value this Motel 6 was all we needed and exceeded expectations.

The room is spacious, loved the pool and very clean. The property is very nice, alot of parking and the staff is very welcoming. My daughters had an amazing time. Alot of places to go to near by and the beach being so close is a plus 😊

beds, mattresses, and bedding were excellent, and everything was super clean.

The location was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable.
