We stayed at this Motel 6 with low expectations given the price, and it ended up being about what we anticipated.
Pros:
⢠Check-in was quick and easy.
⢠The room was decent enough for our short stay.
⢠Good locationāclose to Solvang and Santa Barbara without breaking the bank.
⢠Convenient highway access.
⢠Nearby gas stations, fast food, and a grocery store.
Cons:
⢠The room could have been cleaner and is in need of upgrades.
⢠Very noisy neighbors late at night, with no enforcement from staff.
⢠Parking lot felt sketchyāpeople drinking, playing loud music, and even leaving a urine trail near my car.
⢠Someone left a puppy unattended in their room that barked nonstop, and it didnāt seem like staff checked on it.
⢠Lots of loitering outside at all hours; people smoking near the rooms, and with the doors not sealing well, smoke carried inside.
⢠Weak WiFi.
⢠Not enough pillows.
⢠Poor lighting in the room.
⢠Weak water pressure.
⢠Ineffective AC.
⢠No elevatorābe prepared to carry luggage upstairs if youāre on the second floor.
Overall, itās fine if you just need a budget-friendly place to crash, but donāt expect comfort or peace and quiet.
