Power outage
The power was out for an extended amount of time. No heat or ac no light. The poor front desk lady was bundled up in tons of layers and had a glow stick as a source of light. She was incredibly sweat and nice but driving up at 11PM and the whole hotel being dark is terrifying. We got up to our room with our flashlights and got into our room which was extremely cold and the blankets provided were super thin and not helpful with heat so my wife and I had to sleep with our clothes on.

Avoid Room 106 - Bad Mold
Worst Motel 6 stay ever!! The front Desk knows that Room 106 has mold in it but they still continue to let guests stay in this room. They do not fix anything and just clean the room and let other guests stay there. After complaining the next day they gave a room on second floor which was ok.

Rooms were small but clean, it served its purpose we were only in the room to sleep. They have a blow dryer and iron but you must ask for it at the front desk, it’s not in the room. Coffee and tea are available in the morning in the hotel office. You are walking distance to several restaurants and Albertsons.

Not a D. Not a B.
It’s an expensive area to stay in, and this place is cheaper. Bare bones, no frills. A perfect C. Not a D. Not a B.

Better Than Expected
This Motel 6 felt safe & clean, and the gentleman at the checkout desk was very friendly and kind. Yes the property is dated...but it's hard to get good deals on hotels in the Santa Barbara area, and I felt this was better than I expected.
