Good review
I want to comment about the phone service I had with the front desk agent. He was professional, and courteous, and my request for a disabled room was accommodated when I arrived late at night.
Thanks

This is a very convenient location. I used stay here often to go visit our daughter at Ucsb. However, the price of the room during graduation weekend was outrageous.

Absolute terrible stay. We would have been better off sleeping in our vehicle. Room was filthy, bed was like sleeping on an air mattress that needed so, everytime my husband moved we both rolled to the middle. There were obvious drug deals going on in the parking lot and lots of unsavory guests lurking around. I would definitely recommend staying elsewhere. We ended up checking out a day early because of the awful conditions. Also motel located on busy road with lots of traffic. Pay the extra money and stay elsewhere

At the rate we paid for it the room was dirty
The bed the bathroom and the floor were somewhat clean but the other places such as shelves, electric switches were covered with dust and grime.

Actually this place was quite refreshing after a really not so great stay at another motel 6. This place was clean, quiet and really nice. I really enjoyed my stay here, only one night but the receptionist was quite friendly. I'd come back here, no problem. Great place to stay

It’s located close to UCSB. Near by food options across the street from drug store.
Staff that checked us in was such a pleasure. She checked us in with ease. I was very please with my first stay at Motel 6.

Our stay here was mostly great considering the price. The property backs up to the freeway, so light sleepers should beware, and ask for a room toward the front of the motel if available.
