Motel 6 Goleta, CA - Santa Barbara

8/10 Good
"The room was clean. There were no stains on the linens (I checked). The shower was hot. Groceries, pharmacies, and restaurants are within walking distance. Let's be real about this, folks. It's a Motel 6. Clean and comfortable is all they are promising. And this place delivers."

10/10 Excellent
"Keurig in room is always a plus for us. Staff could not have been more pleasant. Breakfast was fine-good coffee, muffins, croissants and yogurt. Didn’t try the waffles but others enjoyed them. Pool is small and not that inviting, but that was not our focus. Bed very comfy. Very close to beach. Easy parking! We’ve stayed about 3 times so there you have it! Oh yeah, cookies in the lobby at check-in🍪"
