Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - Beach

Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - Beach

8/10 Good
"Our room was basic, but clean. Loved the 60s decor. Location was fantastic. The only complaints we have are that the ice machine didn't work 2 out of our 3 day stay there, which was frustrating. The young man who checked us in could have been friendlier and more welcoming. The other front desk women were very helpful. He may need a refresher course on proper customer service. There was a car parked right outside our door that obviously had been there for a very long time (there were cobwebs from the tires to the pavement). One desk clerk seemed surprised by this, however, a maintenance man said that the owner had been staying there for a few months, so the car was probably broken down. Since parking is limited, they should have found a way to move the car to the back of the property or had it towed."
