It has a lovely pacific island ‘vibe’. We stayed in room 3 which has a lovely porch/couch area. Close to the lovely clean pool. Close to eating places across the road and quick walking distance to a 7 Eleven. A coffee maker in the room and also fresh drip coffee and tea 7.30 each morning in reception. Ample parking. Ice machine/snack on property. When we couldn’t get the tv to work someone came over straight away and reset it for us. Don’t know why there have been bad reviews but maybe could be a different experience in other rooms . Staff were friendly and helpful

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

Easy walk from Motel 6 on Carpinteria Street to restaurants and the beach. "The Spot" for burgers! Little Dom's for fancy feed. I walked my doggie in her stroller. Grocery store two blocks down the street. Not fancy digs. Just PEACE and QUIET. Nice pool too.

When I visit my daughter and grandson in Santa Barbara, I like to have my privacy so I stay here. The dog and i can walk to the beach boardwalk in 20 minutes. There's the tasty burger shack where we share! There are bathrooms. On the way to the beach you will find restaurants and shops. The old doggie is in a nice-sized stroller, so we can bring back goodies. Right next door to the Motel 6 on Carpenteria Street is a grocery store, dollar-type store, and Goodwill too! Have fun!
