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.

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.

The Motel6 in Goleta was better than I expected. The room was very functional and somewhat updated, albeit a bit tight for two people with two beds... AC worked well and for my memories of Motel 6, the hotel (and AC) was quieter than usual. Very pleasant and helpful employees.

I booked this room because it was close to the airport as my kids were arriving late and were taking an Uber to the motel. When I arrived, the checkin was friendly, I got the bottom floor that I wanted, the room smelled clean and was clean PLUS it had a microwave, refrigerator, shampoo, lotion, and soap! Not many Motel 6's are this diligent on customer satisfaction. Bonus... food delivery and coffee in the morning! Truly satisfied. Will be staying again soon!

The staff were particularly unfriendly. We arrived early so we couldn't check in. That is OK, but there was NO option for leaving bags in a safe space and even staying within the property was considered "loitering", so they would call the police. This was mentioned in a very unfriendly manner. They claimed that this was an order from the manager.

I recommend providing a hair dryer and a clothes iron for the rooms. The price is too high not to include these basic items. The staff is lovely

Stayed here with my spouse, 3 year old and 2 little mini pops. We were attending the UCSB graduation so it was a convenient distance to the school. It was also close driving distance to a good amount of food places and Tesla super chargers. We appreciated that it was dog friendly as poop bags and a decent size grass patch made it easy to take them out for potty. Check in was pretty quick. We got there around 11pm or so. The room was tiny and quite outdated. After getting ready for bed, I inspected the sheets, as I always do before getting into it at hotels. There was small and large strands of hair throughout both beds. I’m not one to argue, so I just walked down and told the man at the front desk who gave me fresh sets that we put on ourselves. The cleanliness was alright. Fingerprints on different surfaces including the headboards. The soaps are very small and drying, def bring your own toiletries. We liked the air conditioner in the room as it did cool the room pretty quickly. The nightly rate was quite high. Our first night was around $160 and the weekend price was $400/night. Around $1,150 for 3 nights. Overall, it wasn’t worth the money spent. First and last time I will be staying at a motel 6. If the price is right, it’s ok for an overnight stay.
